FR-S 10 Series Registry

[#944_10_Series_FRS]

Hey Guys, Just stopped by Burien Toyota in Burien, Washington. They just received a automatic 10 series in with badge 0844 of 2500. It is available for anyone to buy now. So, if you are in the Northwest, you can call them now and stop by to see. The sale person who I bought mine from is awesome. His name is Daniel.

A few pics from my first break-in drive to Larch Mtn. and Roslyn Lake around the corner from my hometown. Kept things under control <4Krpm but still managed a wink or two from the squiggly light on the dash. Rear end is sure "lively" on these things and the front transient response is outstanding and sure, everything I hoped for. Will take a bit more practice for smooth heel-toe but enjoy the tight, even gear spacing. Brake feel is Porsche firm and linear, unexpected but appreciated.

With ~250 miles got crickets but aren't concerned. What was unexpected was a repeated trouble code P0461 on the UltraGauge meaning a faulty fuel level sensor circuit. Maybe that's why the gauge only reads 7/8 when it's actually full. Anyone else showing less than Full after topping off? I tried it three times with the same result.

So, three hours of technical mountain two-lanes, constant shifting and braking, about 8,000' total elevation change and 20 mpg. Yep, she's got potential.

Had to stop by the airport first to say hi to some pilot friends and show off.

I'm soo happy for you, shes beautiful; I read somewhere on this forum that if you disconnect the battery for 10 minutes the fuel gauge issue dissapears.

Heh, thanks. Made for the FJ Cruiser TRD S/E produced for two months in 2007, only 280 6M/T's like mine imported.

It's a heavy knob that fits my palm-over style perfectly. The extra mass smooths shifts and adds control. It's like the difference between a head-light tennis racquet (OEM) and head-heavy stick (TRD). Old school for sure, prolly more often expected on a Z28, Trans-Am or NASCAR stocker, but suits me fine.

Thank you! I'll try that battery tip, it bugs me to get a code on the first drive but sounds like a simple fix. I'll let you know.

Yesss! After reconnecting the battery and clearing the code went for a 10 mile sunset drive, no alarms, then filled up at my favorite Chevron and for the first time the fuel gauge read "F". So far, so good, but looks like your tip did the trick.

Check for proper activation by putting either window down, start button to "off", exit the car and lock with remote. Wait 30 sec for the alarm to arm (light in tach goes from solid to flashing), reach in and unlock then open either door. Horn and head/tailights flash and sound about twice/sec. Press unlock button on remote to stop commotion.

haha yeah you seem to find out stuff on the forum when your owners manual is still in the plastic . I figured I'd give it a shot since I have push start like the BRZ limited. I wasn't able to verify if it worked or not thought because I was rushing at the time.

I love that shift knob! Reminds me of the hurst short throw shifter in my 2007 Mustang GT. I do like the factory one as well though.
