So is Road Race Engineering going to be developing goodies for the FRS?

I got quite a bit of stuff from you guys back when I had my DSM...

I work at Road Race Motorsports as the Director of Marketing and Public Relations. Road Race Engineering is right next door as we are sister company's.

and yes....we do plan on making some components for the FR-S. I want my FR-S to be just as bossed-up as any other FR-S on the street.

Awesome. My Perrin exhaust has been ordered and that'll be my first mod to the car.

I cannot believe how happy I am to have switched to this car. My last car was the Saab 9-3 Aero with a 2.8 turbo V6; tuned to 320hp. I thought I would always be a turbo guy, but this little car is proving how much fun flat torque can be. The FRS is also my first rear wheel drive car.

So over the weekend I took my first rear-wheel drive car I've ever owned to the track to see what my car could do...and have some fun doing it.

Here are some pics we took from Streets of Willow on January 19th. Car is completely stock and this was done on purpose. Suspension, braking, engine performance mods will be soon following. This will not be a dedicated Road Race race-vehicle as it is my daily driver.

Those Abarths look so cool in race trim! Wish I could afford to have both a BRZ and either an Abarth or a Mazda 2 B-Spec race car

@DC@RoadRace

So it's a long shot, but do you still have the FRS?
