[QUOTE=FRSToyota86;1607933]Hey Ruz.

Can you give AnzKirby a good deal on an FRS. He is in the market for one. And Belair treated him like shit. I had a good experience at Mendes.

Oh well, thanks for asking about them

Yeah, the lamest "international" (you're kidding, right??) autoshow around doesn't need to throw out some incentives to potential show-goers (read: possible future car buyers) to thier lame-ass show.... sorry, once I hit a certain age I turned into Grumpy Old Man Ken....

I would be more than happy to help, although I think he might have been here last night talking to someone else. Either way we will do our best to provide the best service as we always strive to do. I will also put in a good word in for him.
I am glad you had a good experience at Mendes.

UMB FR-S · 03-18-2014, 11:31 AM

I also bought at Mendez and I got the best deal on a frs out of anyone I have heard of! I also had to do some shopping around. They also did not drill my bumper when I asked to not have it done!

I live in the usa and I have been trying to get the Canadian glove box ordered and shipped to me. but they wont do it! they just keep saying us parts on us car. I like the fact that Canadians get usb an aux port in the glove box. I would like that myself, can anyone help me out. I would need the part numbers and probably a Canadian vin for me to pull this off. or a Canadian buy it an sell it to me. thanks in advance.

SciOnDrifTtSlIdeR · 03-19-2014, 01:14 AM

mendes sucked imo... i went there to buy a black frs, did all the paper work singed it and all, waiting on financing approval couldnt get a hold of the sales man and the sales manager kept telling him to call me back and it never happened even after i put a down payment... went back to ottawa that saturday looked at tony graham then belair. belair had the car i wanted in the color i really wanted singed approved when and got my deposit back from mendes...

There is a USB port in the glove box?? It is on the Center dash in front if the shifter in mine. Is rather it be in the box like my Yaris - out of sight out of mind

Just order parts from a us site and skip the CDN dealer all together
Sorry if none if this helps answer your questions

How much lower are you running? Any concerns for next winter?

Also, I have to ask, what is the current mod bill total?

Everyone - don't total your mods costs.... lets just say I have almost reached 50% of my OTD price of the car....

FLYFISHR · 03-19-2014, 11:19 AM

There is a 12V power outlet in the glove box not a USB outlet in my CND 2014 BRZ model

AznKirby · 03-19-2014, 11:38 AM

Did you do your coilovers without the spring compressor? Did you just let it fly out horizontally?
I've never done that, I heard it's a PITA

Just a reminder for tonight's online session and also the Enduro right after 9pm.

Car:
Mazda Roadster Touring Car
PP is 463 and 471 after oil change
keep everything stock
can paint the car and wheels and add your own number if you like
Buy Race Medium Tires (comes with Race Hard)

Enduro Track:
Brands Hatch GP Circuit
· 20 laps
· Car: Mazda Roaster Touring Car
· Boost - off
· Tire/Fuel Wear - Very fast
· Slipstream - weak
· Penalty - weak
· Require Tire Type Change (like last enduro)
· Max PP - 471
· Tuning - prohibited
· Max Tire - Race Medium

So I have tested this car and track over the last few days, what a great car to drive and very driver-friendly. Great for teaching momentum-driving (FR-S/BRZ owners in here).

The track is a different beast though. Requires smoothness and ensure that you stay on track due to the sandtraps awaiting you on the outside of most corners. You can cut the inside of most corners, but not the outside. Key is consistent laps and staying on track.

Online at 8pm, probably do 4 short races, then Enduro at 9!
