Hey Everyone,

New here. I picked up my Hot Lava FRS 2 weeks ago now.

Before I was driving 2012 Subaru Impreza, it was in 3 accidents. The last one finished it off. Back wheel was taken off as someone coming the opposite direction went straight through a bend in the road, I saw it coming so was able to avoid a head on collision. But my baby didn't survive.


My friend has an FR-S so when it came time to choose my new car, it was pretty easy.

I went to my dealership before I was allowed to take it home and took a pic of my new whip.

Howdy all! Long time listener, first time caller.

Haven't pulled the trigger yet on my FR-S, was a hair away from a base '13 Asphalt but I wouldn't let myself impulse buy (turned out to be a good thing in the end). I already knew this was the car for me before I even saw one in person. For 25+ years I've been taking every corner sideways whenever I'm able - I consider it practice for the winter. My first test drive was amazing, instantly fell in love! Now it's only a matter of time before I get the Hot Lava I want.

Not being a young man anymore I'm glad the '14 comes with the knee pads standard, kind of pissed I'm forced in to navigating a touchscreen stereo though. I know the smart thing financially would be to find a used base '13 in my color but I just can't bear the thought of someone else breaking in "my car".

Anyway, finally registered so I wanted to say hello to my fellow enthusiasts.

I created an account here a long time ago and don't remember if I have introduced myself or not. I have a 2013 scion frs, raven colo, with the bespoke premium audio by zyper ( bad mistKe gonna replace with aha one later if reviews are good) Bought her brand new and now have almost 20k miles on it now. Like all new first year models.. I have had my issues. I have had my high pressure fuel.pump replaced due to the tsb( service bulletin) and have had my passenger side rear combilight replaced due to severe water condensation. The only issue I live with as of right now is the door panel rattle, which is due to bad design and I will fix by putting some dynamat in there.


anyways my name is joseph =)

Nope. I checked out my stats after posting and though I have been a member for 8 months it was my first post. I have had it (the car) since December of 2012. By the way...if any one is curious about how reliable this car is...
I recently got transferred to third shift and I was tired on the way home... I always take interstate home and do 80 mph... I needed to get over but the car next to me was doing the same speed... I.intended to drop it in 4... but dropped it in 2... the tach read 8400 rpms and I quickly up shifted and drove to Toyota. The mechanic. was a friend and he looked it over for two hours to report no damage =)

Hey folks. I've been on these forums for quite some time but have been browsing more actively as of lately. I sold my modded 2005 Toyota Celica (click link to see it) and bought a 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo back in April but aside from the VT being more roomy and convenient, I miss having a more sportier car. I tossed aside getting a FR-S when I bought the VT but I'm changing my mind on that and will be buying a FR-S when I return from my deployment in April. I have already begun researching the mods that I want starting with coilovers, wheels, exhaust, and body kit.

I can't wait to get behind the wheel of the FR-S and drive off the lot.

I would've been shitting bricks if this happened to me. No damage at all? That's awesome, probably a bit of luck too. lol

I had a blast customizing this car with wheels tires, springs, front and rear sway bars, a custom ground camshaft, porting and polishing, a twin side draft Weber carb. system, and many days of sanctioned road-rally, and auto-slalem events. I followed this up with a 1982, Corolla SR-5, hatchback, that eventually got a later model twin-cam 1600, and was treated to the same type of driving events.

After that, I admit I left the family for a Honda Prelude, then a Mazda 626 Turbo. Time and experience has brought me back to the Toyota family. I had the opportunity to pick-up my folks old Camry as a cheap work/dayly driver, and I've been hooked ever-since. I've made some interesting alterations to the Camry to bring it up to my specs', but when the first few FRS's showed up a my local Country Hills Toyota/Scion dealer they had me hooked.

I've been dying to add a sports car to my garage, and this seemed to be the best place to check out how this one was working. I haven't taken the plunge yet, I'm waiting for a little more/or a slightly enhanced power band to find production. (This was always a weak point in my old Corolla/86 build) Along the way though, I want to follow what you new young guys, the best and the brightest, are doing to develope the car on your own.

Welcome to the forum!!

Like you, I want to develop my FRS, this is my first time ever considering modification, I have no idea where to begin, I'm paranoid about a lot of things. I like pure, clean, usable, reliable, performance that I can call upon when I want. Nothing too crazy, I don't have mountains of cash to throw at the car and with the car payments I'm doing, I won't have a lot of usable cash.

I'll be upgrading small components and strengthening areas where there could be a weak link.

Perrin makes some good stuff from what I've seen so far. TRD hasn't come out with as many parts for the car as I thought they would have by now. Maybe they are taking longer to R&D some of it.
