Showstoppers USA FR-S has arrived!
I actually got this on Monday! Been driving it around since and loving it. So far so good. I opted out for Red as white was unavailable.
FYI - If anyone is looking for an FR-S in the socal area I dealt with George at Toyota of Glendale. (213) 458-6510. Gave me mine with no bullshit and no markup.     Follow us on Facebook! Just search ShowstoppersUSA.com and we are going to be updating a lot on there as well as on here. Nice to meet you all! Chuck Last edited by ShowstoppersUSA; 08-11-2016 at 06:50 PM. |

30 days! You must have a lot of patience cause I'd be driving it for a while before I start modifying it and being without it for a month. Then you will know what the car feels like, stock and compare afterwards. I'm not that familiar with boxer engines but will this one need any internal work done to it before boost can be applied such as forged pistons and sleeves? It already has a high compression ratio.
Congrats on the car! |

The CR is 12.5:1, not 11:1.
Can't wait to see the s/c'er kit. Centrifugal or roots? And what are you tuning on?

I'm very excited for a supercharger. I wonder how much of a gain it'll give.

You've never heard of Rev Hard, Godzilla35?
Keep us posted with that supercharger development. If it works out well, would they consider producing kits for more customers? I have a feeling the HKS kit is gonna be $$$$$

 I believe it's a 12.5 to 1 compression ratio as stated by another member. |
