I went to work this morning as well. I find having a full gas tank helps with traction quite a bit. I am very happy with the TC/VSC though. It doesn't let the car get out of control too easily.
I'm from London. Grew up in the NW corner of the city by the Aquatic Centre. If anyone sees a raven with silver steelies over the long weekend, that could be me! |

Good call! I didn't even think of that but I'm under a quarter tank at this point and that definitely wouldn't be helping my cause.

Oh shit! I killed the thread. Sorry about that.
But seriously, anyone in the London area with an aftermarket exhaust? It's one thing to see a whole bunch of videos and crap but it would be nice to actually hear one or more in person to get a better feel for how they sound before dropping money on one.

Not dead yet!
Just got home from picking up my Ultramarine FR-S from Toyotatown today. So there was another one of those around London for a short while anyway before heading back to the shores of Lake Huron. Didn't even turn the stereo on as I was driving, trying to get a feel for it. It was nice and tight, no squeaks or whistles going down the 402. Some tire noise but not bad. Just happy the roads were fairly clear and dry, just got a little dirty. Stopped in at buddy's shop and he approved so even old guys like the FR-S. Going to wrap her up and wait for the better weather to get a few miles on her. Have fun guys. |

I've been trying to think of places to go for a little fun after she's broke in. I watched the video from the vegas86club in the Gallery section, sure looks like fun! |

Saw a firestorm FR-S with silver rims at the Carpenter's Union Open House today. Looked nice and clean. Made mine look like shit in comparison cause it's quite dirty. Was funny though, I saw a family walk by it and stop and look and then walk a little farther through the parking lot and then see mine and point at it and talk about it too.

Since bringing mine home on 15-Feb, I've taken it out all of one time because of the weather. She's still pretty clean. Getting itchy to go though. Not that every FR-S in London was bought at Toyotown, and not that every one they've sold has stayed in London, but when I picked mine up I asked how many they have sold. Was told less than twenty, so there must be a few out there. |

On another note, anyone have theirs tinted through the dealer? I passed seemed expensive, specially since they outsource the work, any idea who they use? Or maybe a quality place to go? |

I was also thinking about removing the rear deck when I take it in so that it's easier for them to do a good job on the back window. I think I've seen the same hot lava that you have. I saw it at wellington and bradley.

Ive heard of them before, maybe Ill give them a shout and see what it will cost. See if they remove the rear deck when they do it.

My WRX ran about 200 bucks I think but that was with two extra windows and doing a sunstrip. It was awesome on that car but I don't know if I'll be doing the sunstrip on this car yet or not. (3 or 4 inch strip at the top of the windshield)
