Here's some pictures. Cheers mates. C:

The funny thing is I wasn't going to buy it at first, but once I saw her I fell in love and had to get her.

For me, I was definately going for an FRS, but this 10 series was 2k more than others in my area. I just wanted to see what it looked like in person and had no intention of buying, but I bought it three days later.

My new 2017 86 GTS arrived yesterday. Going to be hard keeping it under 4k rpm for the first 1600km's.

Wow the new body style in red looks HAWT.

Red looks great. I almost went for that color (Ablaze) before going with White (Halo).

Show us some engine pics!

Congrats.

I know what you mean. It was definitely tough, but I also found every reason I could to drive as much as possible when I first got it so the break-in period would go rather quickly.

New to SoCal and looking to get one soon. Coming out of hawaii, previously had a Evo X, R32 GTR and R33 just looking to get back in the car scene

Hey everyone, in the process of purchasing this FR-S. Picking her up Wednesday!

What should I know? Besides driving her, anything else I should do?

Overdrive · 04-07-2017, 08:04 PM

Do a lot of searching and reading in this forum, and spend some time looking at the issues/TSBs/Recalls section to give you some things to check out. Unfortunately your question is simply too broad as far as what anyone could tell you to know and do, so best advice is just to read up on this forum and ask pointed questions on anything you need to know more about.

Early congrats on your purchase, and welcome. You picked a great car.

Thanks! This is the only engine pic I've got. Also a few other engines in the background.

I was also tossing up between White (White Liquid) and Red (Ignition Red). I didn't like the old white, it always looks dirty to me, and the car was only coming in on order so I went with red. Very happy with my decision though.

Did they swap the battery location, or are just the RHD cars like that?

Byza · 04-09-2017, 08:26 PM

The RHD cars have the battery on the opposite side to the LHD.
