Hi all! new to the forum and new FRS owner in San Diego. This is a "fun" car for me as my daily driver is....um....was a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. Now I'm "saving the miles" since I own that and am leasing the FRS =)

Car is a blast to drive! Anywho, hello fellow FRS/BRZ owners!

welcome to the club

i was going to lease but i knew the moment i saw her i knew she was a keeper

nlowell · 05-27-2013, 07:45 PM

lease is just an excuse to put off the buy conversation with the wifey =)

Hey everybody! I'm new here and I got my firestorm red FR-S about two weeks ago! I love it so much.

It has the TRD air filter, BeSpoke radio, rear bumper applique, trunk mat, and locking lugs.

Can't wait to do more work on it and I'm excited about contributing to this community! Hope to run into you guys who live in Northeast Ohio!

Hey Everybody! I just traded in my 08 FJ Cruiser for a 2013 Ultramarine FR-S last week.

Before:

After:

I put in a lot of work into the FJ and it was so fun, I will definitely miss the routine 4x4 runs in the local mountains! Well, the FR-S is surely another fun vehicle that I have been enjoying, and I've been drooling over the color ever since she came into my life

Oh and another thing, my name is Avo, and after lurking across the forums I've noticed the AVO turbo chargers... was this meant to be or what?

Let the mods begin!! ---> already ordered a Toyota 86 armrest and BRZ homelink mirror for the everyday comfort.

After a horrifying 6 hours in the Stealership i finally got my Whiteout FR-S "lil Scoot" Hello everyone and Im glad to be here!

Redhotblonde86 · 05-28-2013, 11:31 PM

Hi everyone!! I am new here. I think I am one of the few women on this forum.....? I just bought a firestorm FR-S on May 10th and I am totally in love. I have been looking at getting this car since Sept /October 2012 and did my research. I cant believe I was thinking of getting a mini-cooper S ! This car is so much better and much more bang for the buck. It is a total blast to drive as I got the manual transmission of course. It has the Bespoke stereo ,trunk mat,applique and locking lugs. I hate parking it outside at work and have even driven home and drove my old Ford Escape back to work on my lunch hour

My biggest issue will be trying not to get a speeding ticket now....

wrussi · 05-29-2013, 11:36 AM

hi from south florida!
just traded in my IS250 for this whiteout FRS with the bespoke system and spoiler here is it the day i brought it home

Taladis · 05-29-2013, 03:01 PM

Just another Whiteout FR-S. Havn't done much but messed around with some plastidip. Gonna dip the wheels next...still deciding on a color. Like the gold/copper, or maybe a blaze green.....

Only about 2 months old...almost 4k miles. No issues.
Pulled my ABS fuse the other day to disable traction control and all the other electronic aids...must say its pretty fun to throw around the corners

Averaging about 26 MPG...mostly city/spirited driving. What are ya'll doing to get 30+?? Long commutes and shifting at 2k RPMs?

Keeping up with Stage 5 of Initial D as well

And my other toy...

Joakim3 · 05-29-2013, 05:06 PM

Hey everyone!!, Finally became a member on the forums after reading it for months

Well about me.... 20 year young, College student living in Elkridge, MD and one of my neighbors (or his friend) owns a whiteout BR-Z (which I try not to drool over) while I ride around in my 98' MPV or 04' Saab 9-5 Aero.

Looking to get a white FR-S when I can get higher paying job to comfortably maintain said car lol

swFt86 · 05-30-2013, 01:54 AM

Hey guys! I just got the new 86 in Firestorm. I previously had an Rx-8 but sold it for a WRX. Enjoyed that for a bit but missed RWD and flipped over to the FR-S.

STV3 · 05-30-2013, 02:09 PM

Hey everyone, I've been wanting an FRS ever since the first time I sat in on at the NY auto show and I finally picked mine up on May 10th. I got it for a dd because I wanted something comfortable and good on gas yet still fun to drive. I've fallen in love with this car, it is so much fun to drive! The lack of power throws me off sometimes but the way the car handles makes up for it.

Heres a pic of it

and thats my "racecar" in the back ground

Soclose09 · 05-31-2013, 10:52 AM
