Ottawa FR-S

[86gt?]

KingGeo your looking for this? I got my magnaflow from Tdot performance and it was the best "Canadian" pricing I could find. I like it, has a deeper sound and looks good and powerwise I found an article on dyno runs and it was higher in the list of tested systems.

^ That's the same one I have. I'm quite happy with it. It has a nice deep tone without being loud (it's rather quiet, actually). There's a nice burble and grrr when you get off the gas, and no annoying drone on the highway. Fit/finish is good and the install was a snap. I got mine from JRP in 'sauga for right around $700. As mentioned above, it tested well in the shootout. The only thing I'd disagree with in that test is the sound level...they made it sound louder than it actually is. After a 4 month salt bath, the finish has held up well. The only visible oxidation is along the welds on that odd looking inlet pipe on the muffler. Overall? Nice piece at a reasonable price, especially considering the cost of some of the competition.

Diggin the rims on one of the fr-s's at the car show. Not a big fan of the kit though.

Hey guys, since there's been hints of this "spring" thing I've heard of coming around, gotta ask, where's the best place to get a car wash?

I have to admit the 5 axis kit on the argento frs in the Toyota pavilion did look better. Nice to finally see the spoiler in person. Nice talking to Josh from trackworks about the lava frs. He said that that kit I believe he called it spirit was on the car that one the designer award at SEMA. The car is on 18's and is lowered 1 inch. also nice to see in person. I have to say there was a tonne of interest in our cars and the ultramarine BRZ that was there. Definitely a nice way to spend a couple of hours waiting for spring to arrive.

other than the driveway of my house tomorrow afternoon, the guys tonight were talking pretty highly of Minute car wash on Catherine street.

I was at the autoshow today as well.
i was giving the Scion guy shit for having an FR-S priced at 32k for no good reason when the BRZ downstairs was 30k.
it was nice the see the 5AD kit in person, and to decide i dont like it at all

my favorite part of big autoshows is all the idiots you can hear talking... its great entertainment!

Yeah, not a fan of the kit either, it seems to kill the design flow of the FR-S nose.
The Yonaka car is running 19x9.5's!

So picked I went to Ogdensburg yesterday to pick up my springs and 8 tires...

... with the FR-S.

I managed to fit the springs and 7 tires inside the car. I could have fit all 8 if I had left the spare at home (could've fit 2 in the trunk instead of just 1).

Here's a few pics.

[Starfall]

Absolutely EPIC. And some people are complaining on the wheel/tires forum about being unable to fit four tires inside.

This is EPIC. I guess the border officer will immediately ask you to park aside to pay the dues.

[KingGeo]

JK of course. that is pretty impressive for sure

At $429 they are only a few hundred more than a good spring set but have the height adjustability and they will work with you to select the best spring rates based on your needs.

I may have to go this route, I don't want that big gap in the wheel well,
this is valuable info for me, thanks Andre!
