Hey guys, new here. Got a used 2013 Toyota GT86.

Is there much of a difference between the NZ model and what you guys have? I see a lot of people wishing they got the BRZ. I purposely went for Toyota since it is a more recognised brand and the 86 name pays tribute to the AE86.

From the factory, the BRZ has more options avaulable like heated seats dual climate and keyless entry push button to start. I've seen way more custom headlights on FRS's than brz's. Either way we are the same car and you'll learn to love what you got. Drive the car and have fun!! Our cars are meant to be driven

New to the forums

Hey all!

Bought my 2015 WRB BRZ in may 2015 with 49 km on the tac. I have since put on 15,000 km and is being winter driven currently. I just purchased new wheels for her and I am waiting for new tires. Besides that it is stock!

I will post photos soon and update you all on the her progress!

Look forward to meeting you all!

Hello!

I just bought a 2013 Scion FR-S in November. I was looking for a small car when my Kompressor C230 died.

I remember the first time I got in the FR-S I had a huge smile!! haha.

Here's a picture of my car. He looks like he threw up and angry. haha

Greetings! I just got my 2016 Halo FRS three days ago. It was actually the last one (Halo) that I could find in central Texas with a MT. So far I'm really enjoying driving, what to me feels like a street legal "go kart", lol. I'll do my best to search and find my answer before asking a question on the forum, so hopefully I won't be a PITA here. Cheers!

Hi guys, been forum lurking for some time now but decided to make a user. I don't have a FRS yet, but I have my eyes set on it for quite some time now after deciding this over an S2000, and hopefully can get one sometime this year. Just doing my research here so I know what to do once I get it.
