Put a frs on order a little while ago. I guess manuals are becoming hard to get??? Owell I'll wait. Just gives me more time to look into what directions I wan't to go with the car. Ohh and I'm Kane from Indiana.

hello everyone. my name is kevin. ive been lurking this forum here and there the past year or so. so excited that the fr-s is finally out. gonna be getting mine in a month =D im not a super car enthusiast. im not super inclined on knowledge about cars but im learning more and more everyday. a quick question for everyone, how easy is the clutch on the fr-s?? because i learned how to drive stick a few months ago. im not real slick on my skills but i can drive stick. i should be fine right?? thank you in advance!

^ I think you should be okay... I'm always observing other experienced drivers on their manual shifting techniques... And I feel you would benefit from doing the same.

I think each vehicle's shifting / clutch response will be somewhat different... And the most proper way to go about it is to keep driving and adapting to the current car on hand in order to master the smoothness.

In other words, have fun... LoL. :happy0180:

Hey everyone. Figured I'd finally register and stop lurking.

Still up in the air over which to get, trying to stall and see what Scion does towards the end of the year, this base model is killing me

Debating adding an FRS/BRZ as a Sunday driver, keeping the civic on the 100 mile DD duty and I've already got the 97 S14.5 for power/track use sooo. Yeah. Here I am :P

Quick shot of the 240:
Edited out. Big pic is big. Apparently there's no auto resizing? Will fix after work.

Hey guys. I'm from the Boston area. Recently picked up my manual white-out FR-S last Monday. It's been a blast to drive so far. Plenty of onlookers too. Might be more fun and gets more attention than my Interlagos Blue 2006 M3 Competition Pkg.

Blypr · 07-11-2012, 03:08 PM

Hey all, just got an FR-S last night. I'm so happy with it so far. It's my first "new" car. I previously drove a 2005 Mazda RX-8. The dealership I went to gave me a pretty good deal on my trade-in and I'm just in love with this new car so far.
