New owner. Just saying hi!
Hey everyone! My name is Caleb and I just got 13 FRS. Only had about 2 weeks now, but I'm loving it! Great little car! I don't really have any pics of it, its completely stock though. Nothing really to show any ways.
Little history on my car ownership: Very limited to be honest. My list of previous cars is below with any pics that I have. 2001 Ford Focus ZX3-First car. Absolutely loved it. Wouldn't mind having another as a daily driver one day. Pretty much stayed stock. It had an intake. Thats it. 2004 Mazda RX8-First car that really got modded, and I wish I didn't have to sell it. 2014 BMW X1 sDrive28i-Not a bad car. I made it look good, but I just didn't love it. 2013 Scion FRS-You already know. PICS!! No Focus pics, so first the RX8 2004 Mazda RX8 Megan Racing coilovers ExoticSpeed exhaust Mazdaspeed CAI BHR ignition upgrade Double DIN DVD player w/sub and amp 18X10.5 +27 TSW Interlagos w/ 265/35 square setup ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 2014 BMW X1 sDrive28i M-sport Red Dakota leather Burger Motorsports JB4 tune Rear muffler delete w/eBay tip Retrofitted BC-Racing coilovers BMW Performance kidney grilles Inovit Force 5 wheels F-19x8.5 +35 235/35/19 R-19x9.5 +32 265/30/19 http://e84.xbimmers.com/forums/showp...69&postcount=1 EDIT* Currently at work, so I can't access Flickr for the pics of the X1. But theres the link to my post on Bimmerpost. |

Wow. That BMW has really square wheel arches. Never noticed that before.
Awesome RX8. Funny how the hyper flared fender style is becoming prevalent again. The RX8 seems a bit ahead of its time. |

Theres actually a couple things that the RX8 had that BMW are now starting to use. The latest M3/4 uses a carbon fiber driveshaft. RX8 (6mt) had one from the first model onward. Many new BMWs are using electronic power steering. RX8 also had that. The RX8 had its flaws though...lol |

The reliability and how it would drink oil is what kept me away. But the concept was cool. When someone asks, "hey how many cylinders is your engine?" you laugh because it's a rotary engine! But the awesome weight distribution and the way it looked really was appealing. Oh and it sounded beautiful too!
