1) Name: Keith
2) VIN: 0087
3) Color: White
4) State: Washington
5) Story: I was an early-ish adopter of the platform and bought an FR-S when they were still pretty new (March 2013). I sold that car, regretted it, but haven't been able to purchase it back from the new buyer...

Therefore I decided to get the best one to have (imo). Found this one on Autotrader and pulled the trigger! Low miles (5k) and a fellow enthusiast first owner. I'm excited to keep it mostly OEM. Figuring out just how much has changed in 5 years time of development.

Is there any registry currently being built for the 2020 lineup? I searched without any luck.

Seems like ya already read my mind haha, just need to save up a bit after buying the car before pulling the trigger on our kit but it will happen. And yes sir! A few nice aesthic goodies were added to the car as well

Ideally I'd like to be at about 330 on pump gas and 400+ on E85 using our kit with a GTX2867R

Well that's a bummer...there's only 50 here in Canada. How do you get access to the VINs in the States?

1) Name: Rich
2) VIN: 0763 (247/300)
3) Color: White
4) State: Ohio
5) Story: I bought a 2020 Hakone with TRD suspension package, loved the color, hated the handling (wife hated it even MORE). Did a turn and burn 2 days ago, traded in the Hakone 86 for the tS in Charlotte, NC, turned around and drive straight back to Cincinnati. The car is so much better than the Hakone with the TRD bits. (I do miss the green paint). Car will be left STOCk. No mods.

Now that is one hell of a sleeper. I will be going the same sleeper route, but plan on keeping stock internals so obviously I won't have that amount of power. Damn that car must be fast!

1) Name: Jason
2) VIN: 0574 (331/500)
3) Color: Black
4) State: Washington
5) Story: I had a 2013 BRZ that I bought a couple years ago and fell in love with that car. Had added quite a few upgrades including brand new slotted brakes when suddenly I spotted this BRZ TS on a car buying app as a new listing.

It's so low miles (2190) that I had to take a shot at it and today I was approved for the car. It took some serious negotiating to even get them to sell the car as it has a full catless titanium exhaust system and they were not willing to sell the car that way. I told them I would pay for the original exhaust to be installed as long as I got to keep all the parts from the upgraded system. Once the lead sales guy checked it off and loan was approved I have added this pristine and heavily modified beauty to my household.

Thank God my wife understands and supports my car addiction.

So excited to finally bring this baby home once they change exhaust... Thankfully they are not going to mess with the tune on the car, and so I will drive home and reinstall the tomei system back in it.

Will add pics as soon as I figure out how to.

You're looking at OEM fog lights added, Verus Engineering Hood Louver kit. Nice!
