Just be responsible.
Enjoy the car!

Hahaha almost too many, A few of my buddies own either the FRS or BRZ.
And I have driven the FT-86 on road and race track numerous times.
Which does affected my choice.
Thank you!

New owner of a used FRS

Hi Guys!

2013 model, 19k kilometers (that's a bit less than 12k miles to you yanks). Still has 8 months warranty. paid 18,500 + tax. Love it in Red.

It was down to an FRS or a Genesis. The Genesis was way faster but drove like my Camry.

When the Warranty is up I think I will giver her headers and a tune. This is the best bang for the buck power upgrade yes?

Hey guys,


Thought I ought to say hello properly as my first post was actually on a somewhat pointless argument thread just now and it felt kinda wrong...


I'm based in the UK, towards the south west of England, and picked up a brand new grey GT86 (MT) just over a month ago. I've loved every second of owning it so far, and hit the 1000 mile mark in the last couple of weeks so have been having even more fun in it recently. Coming from a small, diesel-powered hatchback, it's a big change of pace!


I took it in to be professionally detailed just after collecting it, so here's how it looked before I got it covered in road dirt and brake dust: https://www.facebook.com/ExclusivCar...type=3&theater


It'll stay stock for now, although every time I read about other people's mods it gets me thinking...

You will find loads of seemingly pointless arguments but we really aren't as bad as that thread makes us look.
Welcome

Yes, an e85 tune and el headers are the best bang for the buck...

If no e85 is around you, a pump gas tune works well too...

Hey guys!
I've been saving up for a car since I was 9, now I finally turned 17 an can drive in NY state. I test drove the FR-S and fell in love with it right from the beginning. I want to drive a stick, but I went online and saw that there are multiple "Trims". I saw that there is a 10 series, a monogram series and a Release series. Can anyone please explain the differences?

Sorry if this is the wrong thread, but I'm new to this forum.

10 - Some interior gadgets. Comes only in one special colour (sort of a bluish silver)


Monogram - Some interior gadgets. Comes in all colours.


RS.1 - Some interior gadgets, a body kit, Lowering springs and Special TRD exhaust. Only comes in yellow.


All are the same mechanically and in all other aspects.
