Just getting a hood painted. There are tons of 86s that shoe up now. Many of them are members here.

Bought a new FR-S yesterday, manual and in black. Old car was a 350Z. This car is great to drive, even if I'm babying it a bit to break it in.

Hello all,

Moved to TX from CA and experience my first summer and boy is it hot! Luckily I got my tints done in time.

I live and work in the Sugar land area. I drive a WRB Brz. I occasionally see a Red 86 and a DGM 86 driving to and from work on Hwy 6. Parked next to a Silver one at HEB once on hwy 6 in SL too. Now that I am finally getting settled with the job and new house I can pay a bit attention to my car. Glad to see there a good showing here in Houston as well!

Complete opposite for me. The lack of power coupled with the piss poor factory tune leaves much to be desired...wise I would have bought a cayman s like I was going to do. Brz suspension from the factory is pretty awesome for a factory setup though. Miss my STI, but she had some work done suspension wise and a tune with only a few power mods... I had a 04 sti among other subies

... you do have to give recognition the the sti's have been through several generation getting better along the way. I think by the time there is a 3rd gen brz that it will be a pretty awesome car [hopefully].

I am sure you would love a Mustang!!!

PhastekSport · 07-22-2013, 09:14 AM

Or a Camaro! I purchased this car without a test drive. Perhaps you should have test driven the vehicle a few times before making such a poor decision.

I'm sorry for your loss.

some people like a driver's car (like the BRZ).... some people like a straight line (automatic) fast car.... matter of opinion and taste i guess....
