TW FR-S Owners Thread

Noticeable difference in manual versus auto? You can burn more rubber in the manual, the only complete Vortech supercharger kit is for a manual...

I like my auto with manual mode, both modes are fun as shit to drive...and YOLO so get the FRS.

 

I didn't know you bought an auto. We have the manual mode in my wife's subie and paddle shifters. It's still not as fun as a manual though.

 

I have fun with my paddles...

I'm sure your car is much more fun than my wife's legacy. I would not mind having An frs for sure though. But my next vehicle will most likely be a charger or an older muscle car.

 

Unless your wife has a 2.5 GT...

 

Are you crazy my wife can get a ticket in my runner and that thing can barely do the speed limit. I bought her the 2.5 premium.

 

Women drivers...good for road head, road sammiches and high insurance rates.

 

No shit!! My insurance went crazy high when I got married. Of course she is under 25 so I should have seen that coming. How is the insurance on your frs compared to your Tacoma?

 

Tacoma < FRS



By like 13 bucks a month.

Of course I have a military discount, multi policy discount, air bags, anti theft, 7+ year clean driving record discount etc.

 

I have usaa and a fire discount/ multi policy with home owners my wife's jewelry and my guns. My Tacoma was only like $90 a month my runner is $80. With my wife my insurance on the two cars went to $155.

 

I'm kinda surprised it didn't go up more for me...that was one thing I looked at when shopping around, the insurance for a Corolla and the FR-S were almost identical.

 

It's funny for me the 4x4 trucks were more than a car. Even my wrx was less than my Tacoma. Ill never understand insurance but I like usaa I've been with them since I started driving. But I was curious because Im keeping my eye out on the frs's. if they do a bigger motor or start boosting the shit out of them it will go up high on my list. I have two years before ill buy another car. I like only having 1 or no payments.

 

I don't think that they'll get a bigger motor. I think boost is the way to go, built internals along with ecu and fuel management. Decrease the compression in the current motor and it'll push out a good 450 hp with the right turbo set up.

 

Yeah Im trying to get my buddies shop to get one and build it up to see what they can do. If they do it and its outrageous ill consider.

 

Snapped a pic today

 

That looks very nice.

 

If its built, its gonna be outrageous, and I know you'll consider it lol

 

Yeah I just don't like being a pioneer for it any more. But I have a few years to decide. I want so hp to the ground for a fun car that won't be driven very often.

 

Well my catback came in today but im not able to get the car high enough to switch it out . Have a buddy with a lift but not able to use it till later this week.
