New 2014 Subaru BRZ

Wassup. I'm new to this forum, but love it so far. Quick question for those who can answer. I have a new 2014 subura brz, and still dont really understand what the vcs sport mode and trac button do. If i can get a detailed explanation, like different scenarios such as, when to turn one on and leave the other off and why? And vice versa. And when to turn them all off, and why. Thanks lot for any assistance i get.

check that for the quick info,

basically if you wanna drift/race, HOLD the TRAC button for more then 3 seconds and the icon will light up. turning both the VSC and TRAC off completely.

other than that, just keep it on for daily driving.

Hello everyone!

Just purchased my 2013 Scion FR-S day before yesterday after my BMW 325i crapped out. Most stressful day of my life, but I couldn't be happier with the outcome! Now I have peace of mind AND get to drive the car of my dreams!

Hopeful Future Twin Owner

Hey guys my names Clayton, been lurking here for awhile now and decided to finally join. Don't have an FR-S/BRZ yet, but hopefully all falls to plan in the near future. For now I have a 2011 Chevy Silverado. Hopefully I don't annoy you all with my nooby questions lol

hello, is there any thread about tinting your car? do you remove the 3rd brake light to apply the tint or just make your way through it?

Most installers cut around it. Not sure how easy it would be to remove it.

Greetings from DC!!

Hello everyone, I just traded my Ford Fusion for a leftover 2013 Scion FR-S in Firestorm red. It's my daily driver and it is just amazing so far. I purchased an automatic due to the fact that that is what I use for daily driving and I plan to have this vehicle for many years to come.
