Ahhh, the man of many thanks for his first post after 6 months of lurking!
Glad to meet you sir.
I laughed so hard I cried when your reply to Squady appeared out of nowhere.
Great angle in your car pic. It catches the lines perfectly.

Whats up! Been on the forum for a while, but this is my first post. name is Jeremy, and I am in the Southern Arizona area. Yesterday was the year mark for my FRS, and I am starting some builds. Figured it was time for me to start contributing, and getting involved in the forum.

Next weekend I should have the car back from the shop and a lot more will have been done. Putting an over pipe, and resonated test pipe on along with the FBM stage 1 base kit. I went with the 3076r upgrade on that as well. Mishimoto baffled catch can, and their oversized radiator as well. Last but not least GoodSpeed is putting in a flex fuel kit for me as well.

Last thing I am waiting on right now are my GramLight 57 Extreme SP Specs to be delivered. been waiting almost 4 months for them and they should be here in about 2 weeks!

This was her just before she went into the shop:



And this is almost everything that is going in

Well, officially my hello! Been a toyota fan for as long as I can remember! Just recently picked up my frs. My lovely new obsession. I'll post a pic when I'm not lurking on my phone. Wanted a mk4 supra since I was prolly ten, but when the 86 came out I fell in love and that's all she wrote!

Owner of a 350z. wondering if they will consider turbo charging this car. Seems Like they might discontinue it since sales going down unless they make a sti version. Netherless, great car for corners and canyon roads

Negative and negative. There are more to it than "needs BOOST for more POWAH" as some are claiming.

Welcome.

I mean it's awesome on corners, and with the engine so low can't get any lower cg. But I live on straights, so there's only so many places you can have fun

We don't have many good corners where I live. It's well worth the drive to get to the places with the good corners. It's all a matter of perception of your situation/environment.

PS: Since this is the "introduce yourself" thread, let's take this discussion elsewhere.

Pick any one of the 1000 "needs more power" debate threads!

Hi all. I just joined the forum and I don't own a FR-S yet. I wanted to join to find out all I can about the car. Right now I own a 2013 Dodge Dart rallye which I really like. I have a grand plan going forward. My wife will be looking for a new car to replace her 03 Hyundai. I think I have convinced her to buy my Dart and then I will purchase a FR-S or a BRZ. In the end I will have two cars I really like but only one payment. Wish me luck LOL.

Hello, everyone! I'm a long time Mini Cooper driver and very new hachi-roku initiate. We had a bit of a snow storm here in the Twin Cities today, and the FR-S was such a joy for me to drive in the snow. Feel free to call me crazy for saying that (haha).
I stealthily used the FT86Club as a resource in my car shopping, and it was very helpful! I figured I would come join you all. HELLO
