Saw his car on Knight Street Bridge around Midnight.

It looked like an Integra when it was in my mirrors, then

^ yeah that was him, though it was actually me driving at that time haha.

CD originally burned in August 2004 when I first bought my 1986 MR2, now passed on to its rightful owner:


Tofu? Check.
Cup of water half full, sealed by Bubble World as "training wheels"? Check.


This car is fuckin awesome, I think it's time to sell my s2k for one.

Moar pics later

You'd sell your s2k for one? I've been considering the brz as well but I don't really need a new car. It is tempting though...

Congrats to all the fr-s owners! I've started a thread here, if the owners want to convene and share their pics! There is the ft86 forums, but its more of a global board.

Wait a couple years, you'll start to feel the need for a little more practicality haha.

That said, the other solution is to just buy a 2nd car that does that even better. So right now I'm buying an '08 GTI and keeping my s2k =). But consolidating two cars and a bike into one BRZ has been really tempting especially given how good my buddy's FR-S drove yesterday - I should really write a comparison review, I was really surprised by this thing.

^ shut up, your car sucks!

Took some pics with MrGoodbar today to try and show the relative size of this thing:









The FR-S is about same length as my s2k, maybe an inch longer?



Looks like the engine in the s2k is mounted further back, but the engine in the FR-S is mounted lower.

I thought they were 'rice' looking in pictures, but they look fantastic in person. Actually I think the whole car looks WAY better than in pictures.

You can't see the details to the roof/wheel-well lines, and how the lines surrounding the front badge is linear with the back.. It's really quite a gorgeous car in person.. /end fanboipost

RabidRat, the water in the cup isn't close enough to the brim for true tofu race car . Ive yet to see it, but people at my dealership are saying the FRS in orange looks pretty good.

Mr. Jay that tail light looks good!

I came across photos of this, do you think they tinted the outer border red or its a remanufactured light?

That's a remanufactured light by Grazio in Japan. They got tinted cleats and badges and all sorts of frs/brz dress up stuff.

Check out the ft86club forums if you want them

Super expensive stuff

vinyl ur tails cheaper option?

i remember a guy on newcelica.org that did amazing stuff with vinyl

blue batmobile i think his name was

ended up making a store and sold stuff for all sorts of vehicles maybe he's still doing it



edit
here's his site www.BLUEBATOVERLAYS.com
and his email bluebatmobile@san.rr.com

he doesn't have the FRS or BRZ listed in his gallery but based on all the cars he's got overlays for i wouldnt be surprised if he'll be adding that soon

Got to play around with the FR-S today, was not as impressed as they were hyped up to be. Pretty gutless but still handles pretty nice.
Still can't complain since it doesn't cost that much for a new car. Interested to see what kind of performance upgrades people do on these cars in the next little while.

Just signed up for that FR-S test drive. I chose the 5:00-6:00pm option - that means I can show up anytime between 5 and 6 right?
