Greetings ladies and gents. My wife left me, a bus hit me, and now I have a sexier girl that doesn't bitch. I'm already having fun with mine, hope you all do, too.

on father's day I decided it was time to buy what I wanted within reason. I recently stopped paying child support for 2 of my older kids. 3 down and 1 to go. I traded in a 2010 subaru legacy that I bought last year. was going to keep it for a bit but a month after owning it I was rear ended. so once some of my support stopped I felt it was the perfect time to get a new car. it helps that my girlfriend likes it and enjoys driving it. Not gonna go crazy with mods. I have already put a rear spoiler and new badges on. I also put my legacy aftermarket wheels on it. sorry if this is a little long winded just happy to have my first real sports car. this is a great forum for ideas and to look at other members rides.

Hi
Jaco from South Africa. Bought my 86 Limited Edition in March, looking to get more involved in track driving. Haven't made any mods, although people keep telling me I should put a turbo/supercharger on it.

Hello All,
New owner. If you see a 16 Hot Lava with a white LP running around SW PA, it's probably me.

What's up everyone? My name is Rett and I am from NC. Just purchased a '15 Halo FR-S. Certified Pre-Owned with 13,XXX Miles. I have been a long time lurker. I have been following the 86 since it's concept was announced.


I have done tons of research and have big plans for the car. Hopefully I don't cause too much trouble on the forum.

Hi just joined, thinking about trading my '13 Civic Si for a Toyota 86 in the fall. I haven't been able to test drive an FRS or BRZ yet, but the only thing I'm curious about is I'm 5'11, and my head is sometimes brushing the roof of my civic. The 86 seems to be smaller than the civic, so will it be an even tighter fit? My civic does have and sunroof though, so I imagine that kills my headroom.

I'm 5'10" and my brother is 6'2". We both drove my FRS at a recent autocross (with helemtets) and neither of us had any issues. There is actually a little more head room than my 350Z had.

That's good to hear. Must be a mix of no sunroof and just better design. I'm waiting for one to show up on a lot near me.

Hello friends!

Just joined and have had my FR-S since April. Such a fun car with so many tuning options. I tried to keep my mods simple but with a little pop. This forum is great!

Sorry, low quality iPhone pic:
