I'd love to take a few laps around Laguna Seca. 32 mins from my in-laws to Willow Springs, 4 hours to Laguna Seca.

Yeah, just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.

Good news is that I'm meeting up with the local seller that has RPF1+RS3 tires either tomorrow night or Thursday night. The wheels have no damage and RS3 has 8/32 tread left. All for $600.

Forsure! Thats what I plan on doing to if i ever get a new car lol...

I wanna start out autocrossing to learn more basics about cornering, etc. Then move up to track!

vwong

Good plan. I don't wanna sound like preaching here, but autox does help you with car control. And you can push way over the limits and won't damage your car.......99% of the time.

speedemon90

mhmm and not boil your brake fluid and destroy almost all the life of your tires haha.

I really wanna get into autox'ing

I would buy them sight unseen if the seller was reputable.

The seller is my friend's friend who tracks his FRS. I've actually talked to him a lot on the forum. He lives like 15 mins away from me. haha

He's upgrading to Wedssport TC105N in black. He has a set of Ohlins on his FRS... Crazy.

What do you guys think about this exhaust tips?

I don't care about the exhaust ever, but I do want to do something about the pathetic stock exhaust tips. Looks so wack.

This looked pretty good.

Aman

Looks a lot better than the stock oval-ish tips.

RPhilMan1

The tips are nice. An easy upgrade.

Questions:

I know Scion has a Non-Negotiable price policy, so i assume it applies to FRS too.

How about BRZ? is the price negotiable?

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Yes. For Scion, you have to pay the sticker price. FRS was like $25,000.

Subaru is certainly negotiable. My sticker was $29,300, I got it for $26,100.

That's why it's a no brainer to get a BRZ Limited over FRS.

oonowindoo

you added some accessories?

i just built one it was $28xxx so with the discount you are getting it would be in the $25,000 range.

so FRS and BRZ are pretty much the same price with BRZ has more "Stuff"
Why would anyone buy FRS over BRZ?

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Yeah, the Limited usually come with this basic accessory package that include homelink mirror and trunk tray and some other shit I didn't care.

Some people prefer the front end look of FRS. It's a little sportier than BRZ imo.

BRZ looks a little more buttoned down.

This is interesting. Rearseat delete. Drops 23lbs.

I am telling you. Once you go rear seat delete, soon your car will not be streetable.

You are going to do everything to shave off the .1 sec that bothers you.

Next thing you know, you are looking for a new car to drive to work.

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

I'm not getting it. Just found the linky so posting it here.

I love the fact that I have backseats. It's surprisingly very usable.

iTrader: (5)

soo true....

I started off wanting to loose only 200-250 lbs...next thing I know is I am 680lbs lighter that stock LOL....

RPhilMan1

So you shook your ass like a pole dancer?

You win some, you lose some.

datgammit...guess my finger was a little too eager and pressed that extra 'O' in there

speedemon90

is it really? What have people that sat back there say?

Aman

That's surprising. I thought they were just there as insurance seats. If I had one I would seriously consider the rear seat delete.

I can fit two asian girls in my backseat. It's pretty comfy they said.

But really, if the person is pretty short, it's not bad. I take 2 of my coworkers to lunch in my car couple times a week.

speedemon90

Ohh not bad. I just assumed it was unusable haha.

I wanna go check this car out at a dealership at one point in time. I'm realizing more and more that I dont want another FWD car aka GTI.

Is the interior really that bad? Or is it fine after living with it?

Yumcha

I wonder what those 2 girls would say in the backseat of the M3.

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Don't go for Fail Wheel Drive.

To be honest with you, I really love the interior. Not just because I have it, but it really is very simple. All my friends said it's much better than they had expected.

The seating position is the BEST in the industry. You will know it when you sit in it. It's so low to the ground and it's extremely easy to find the best position that fits you.

The only thing I wish to have is buttons to change the songs or radio stations. Everything's done through the touchscreen, I don't like it. I usually listen to ESPN or Fox sports radio, so not much of problem for me. But it certainly can be gay for people who like flipping through different stations and songs.

speedemon90

Hmm thats good to know!

I dont listen to the radio much anymore anyway. Its all pandora/Spotify for me. The car has bluetooth audio right??
I need to get a test drive. And your deal you got is amazing.

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

You see that?

3 days straight tracking @ Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.

I'm so going there.

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Yes, it does have bluetooth audio. Everything works well.

That Colorado dealership, I recommend it very much along with other CA dealers. You can get a nice deal.

speedemon90

I'm in sac now so I'll go check the forums for good dealers here. But i'm not looking to buy anything for a year so i have plenty of time.

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Man.. the smoked Valenti lower reverse unit looks HAWT

That's definitely in the mod list.

speedemon90

which color is that? I can't tell. Its a nice color

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Color of the car?

speedemon90

yea

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Dark Gray BRZ.

It's a very nice color. These look very matured.

That exhaust and diffuser look pretty pimp too.




Do it. Do them all.

That's the color I'm pushing Meko to get...I love it.

That's a must.
