Sure the FR-S is awesome, but do you miss your previous car? - Page 5 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

300,000!!! Nice man! I had the DC sports on with my full exhaust. Sounded like crap with the EVO3. Mind you, I did not have a cat in the mid-pipe. Putting the stock header housing the primary cat made a huge difference for me. I had the MMW SC CAI. I was thinking about the 12 PSI pulley as well. I only had 87k on mine when I sold it. The rear quarter panels started to rust. The motor was solid as hell. It was a bullet proof car. Glad you were able to get so many miles on it. It will be missed. Although it was geared way too low.

I was shocked i made it to 300,000 miles. i didn't put the supercharger on until i hit 100,000 the car had a great sound to it.

i think i might miss my crx most of all. i missed having a miata so i bought another one but now i still kinda miss having a totally stock miata. didnt miss the ae86 at all which is probably the next sportiest car i have ditched.

Freshfrs86 · 03-01-2014, 09:19 AM

Let's see, a corolla, SRT-4, and spec-V. Ummmm I don't miss any of them!! I almost forgot about them lol

zinzan · 03-01-2014, 09:25 AM

I miss my 1996 SC400 less than I thought I would. I guess after 14 years with it, I was ready for a change.

Just wish I had time to find it a good home instead of trading it in to the Subaru dealer, where I'm sure it went to a wholesaler.

rayted24 · 03-01-2014, 07:53 PM

Hahaha
I dont miss any of them
1982 Mercedes 300 Super Diesel hahaha
then a 1992 Corolla hahahhahahaha
well those were my first two cars inherited from a poor family.

Nevermore · 03-01-2014, 08:12 PM

I miss my Mazda 626. Not for any one particular reason, the FR-S is better in every way. But the 626 was the first car that I really liked. My first car was a crappy Sentra, then an Alero that hated hills, then the 626. The Mazda was actually pretty fun to drive, and the quickest of the three. Now the FR-S is the fastest, and best, but I'll always have a special place in my heart for that 626.

fstlane · 03-01-2014, 09:26 PM

I miss the abundance of low end torque on my old tuned 135i. I have also noticed the paint and body panels were far more durable on the BMW. I have more chips, scratches and dings on the BRZ in 9 months of daily driving than my 135i showed after 4 1/4 years. However, I love the looks, handling and dependability of the BRZ so much more than my former car.

bobaab · 03-02-2014, 01:55 PM

I miss this baby, my 91 MR2 (non-turbo). 130hp, 2700 pounds. Not fast, but boy was it fun to drive! I still miss the sound of the engine directly behind my head. The way it gripped was fun, but step over that limit and it'll give you a heart attack!

A car I don't really miss is my old 2011 WRX. Sure it's fast, sure it handles well, but you don't really drive, the car drives YOU. It was not the car for me, I was so bored of it after a year and a half.

Btw, my garage can be made into a page from I Spy haha

SirBrass · 03-02-2014, 01:59 PM

Nope, I don't miss my STI at all. It was a great car, but I really wasn't all that happy with it. Not the case here.

On phone I am. Therefore, if mistakes I make, Frank Oz blame you should.

Whitigir · 03-02-2014, 02:09 PM

Bobaab and Sirbrass. Personal questions, but have either of you Tracked the STI ? If so, why do you say the BRZ or 86 is better ? Is it because you like the Tail happy feeling from the 86 ? Rather than the Stablized Stance during the corners from the STI ?

I know both car can corner amazingly, just feel different. Your inputs are Deeply Appreciated.

Shagaliscious · 03-02-2014, 03:28 PM

Haha, not at all. I had a 2003 Civic Si. I liked the car when I first got it, but after a few years of ownership I was ready to move on. The only previous car I miss was the 91 Prelude I had. But that was a couple cars ago.

jonboy99 · 03-02-2014, 04:08 PM

My 2nd car is the hatch, and my bucket list is identical to yours!
I think the next will have to be the corvette so I can get the massive v8 thing out of my system so I can enjoy other stuff afterwards.
I would love an nsx (nothing to do with just having watched the final episode of initial d..) but their rarity means the mr will almost certainly be a cayman.

I miss the lowdown torque of my old VAG turbo diesel, but the top end zing of the brz more than makes up for it.

And eventually the time will come to move on from the FR-S as well. My bucket list:

- AWD/turbo (STI hatch) -- check
- lightweight FR (FR-S) -- check
- MR (NSX, Elise, Cayman S)
- RR (911)
- Z06 (C6 or C7)

Life's short and I think it's worth trying different cars for the experience.

Nice! For me, I'm hoping the MR will be an Elise. That way, I'll have covered all the major car countries too.

Japan - Subaru STI, Scion FR-S
England - Lotus Elise
Germany - Porsche 911
America - Corvette Z06

I'll probably go in that order, saving the mighty Z06 for last.
