As far as suspension, it's mostly looks. I don't see how much better this car could perform in stiffer lower suspension. This car is perfect for its weight and power.

Still here! This forum is great! So much useful information from owners who know their stuff, ill drive the car for awhile, it already has a K&N drop in filter, headers and a tune sounds pretty sweet actually!

I came from an suv so like this type of car is totally new to me, Im 20 btw and have only had two cars. Its way more fun to drive but ill drive it for awhile to really see what I want, little more low end torque would be nice.

Yes, we CAN get into some intense conversations, from time to time. If your car has a manual transmission (and maybe with an auto transmission), you can somewhat "get around" that lack of low end torque feeling, by keeping the RPMs up. Like shift around 5,000 rpms .... these little engines like that. Oh yes, keep back from the parking stops. Your SUV always told you when to stop, when the wheel hit the parking stop. With the FR-S, it will tell you also, by the blood curdling, scrunching sound, that is made as the front clip grinds into the concrete stop......guess what wins ...... ![]() Now, I suggest you get hold of a owners manual and read the whole thing. humfrz |

Learn how to drive it well, that is the best bang for the buck you can get. It's a fantastic car.

Congrats. I enjoy seeing people post their newly acquired 86. It reminds me of when I picked mine up and the joy I get from driving it.
Can't wait to see the plans you have for the 86. |

I wanted to get new tailights that look to be about $320, my budget is really only $1000. Would just going with the OpenFlash Tune work without new headers and make any difference?

Well I went to the dealer today and they wanted $70 dollars for a new manual and I laughed right out the door. A previous guy in here posted a link I need to check out, and Im sure theres ways to get it online. |

Thanks for the congrats everyone, means alot. Glad to see this car has a big community, I live in Houston and cant wait to check out all the local 86s and see what their owners have done to them.
If anyone is in the Houston area and has infos on big car meets etc, would be down to know. |
