Time for an Introduction - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Dab · 11-25-2020, 09:17 PM

After a couple of weeks of browsing and searching various topics on this forum, I think it's time to introduce myself. Or rather, to RE-introduce myself, since I am the owner of a second FRS, having previously owned an Asphalt Grey 2014 FRS in 2015-17.

I come round to a second FRS ownership having detoured to a Lexus IS250, two BMW 135i's, and a Porsche Cayman. It's good to be back in a "real" sports car!!!!

It's a good list of cars, those are all ones I have tossed around the idea of buying.

The 135i's are very good. Tons of torque, roomy/practical, and comfortable. But their suspensions (stock) are quite poor; I upgraded mine to BMW Performance springs and Bilstein b12's. Solid performer after that. Wisht I'd kept the last one I owned, but now I have a BMW e92, which is a bit roomier than the 1 series, and still very quick.

All my BMW's (except two e28's) were N54 motors. Never had trouble with them, but then, I didn't own them all that long. Some seriously expensive repairs often needs doing to those motors. But gawd, they're smooth.
