Driftologist

Hey guys I have a silver FRS took it out sliding the first night I had it . IT really feels like my old AE86 with more power of course . Slightly twitchy at low speeds but an overall good feel once you get the momentum going its really smooth in stock form. Im planning on racing this car this upcoming season . I will have photos and vids for everyone. Oh and screw break in

Nick its pretty twitchy just like my 86 coupe used to be but its smooth once you get some real momentum going and feels very stable just gotta get it over 60 mph. I feel that power is going to end up being a issue soon

yup, i feel like it needs 20-30 more hp on the stock tires, when you get the stock rubber warmed up, they stick pretty good for low rolling resistance tires

Ya I like the tires they make lots of noise ! But Now im debating on going with either 18's or 19's and keeping the stockers for practice days
