My names Matt from East County. Just graduated college and Ive been driving a 95 saturn for the last 7 years. I'm amazed that thing still runs and its plagued with all sorts of weird problems. I think I'm ready for an upgrade!

New here. Been an MR2 driver my whole driving career. Owned a MK1, MK2, and now a MK3 MR2. Never thought I would say this, but I'm thinking of selling it for an FR-S.

Been lurking on the forums lately, love the site.

yeah most of us are very well mannered for the moment, we will have a few immature people here that get their parents to buy them one when they are 16 but thats expected, but one thing you will notice, well all love our fr-s/brz/gt86 like no other enthusiasts, this is a modern day purist car

we welcome you and hope you can join us in a few bends
ive found a few spots to drift at that are safe and not potentially putting anyone even myself and the car in harms way

Hello, I live in japan so i thought i would share photos and information about JDM GT-86's.
I will be moving back to the states at the end of the year and hopefully purchasing an FR-S shortly after the move. I currently drive an S13 Silvia and before that an R32 GTS-t Type-M.

Hey Guys,

New to the car scene in general. Came across the BRZ/FRS and fell in love. Been reading up on a lot recently!

Hoping I can get one by September :P Seems like a long shot though.

You should have no trouble finding an FR-S by then. BRZ will be a lot harder.
