TW FR-S Owners Thread

There is a leather seat M/T FR-S in Raven with TRD exhaust at the dealer where I got mine.

 

After having leather in my camaro, never again.

Food for thought for all you FR's's's

It's not a factory option though, which means it probably costs a fortune and the dealer has a guy that re-upholsters the seats in leather. If leather simply isn't an option for the car that's fine, but with the FRS if I wanted leather I would just get a limited BRZ so it's from the factory that way.

 

I prefer the seats it has, I had leather before....in a Maxima, not a fan, especially in hot climates.

 

x2, and on long drives. The tC has micro-swede seats. So amazing.

 

I think all FR-S's have the micro suede seats too.

Thanks for the vid, they didn't test the intake I want. lol!

 

Nice! lol is that how its spelt? suede?

I found out that AFE makes the Stage 2 SI intake for the tacoma, they also made one for the tC, claims 11whp and they have a dyno on the site backing it.

 

I just ordered this...

 

Are you going to get it ceramic coated or no?

 

No it's stainless with titanium tips.

 

Ah, very good then.

 

Sweet!!! Post a video when you get it on! I'm really liking the Fr-s! Think I may go look at one this week sometime. Can't decide between red and white though. And is it noticeably faster than the Tacoma? 200hp just sounds like nothing, but I understand its on a car that ways 2700lbs haha. Anything I need to know before buying? Or what to look for? (If I do buy)

 

Make sure the driver and passenger side front speaker covers on the dash aren't popping up on a new model, they tend to do that.

If you can afford it, get a rear deck lid lip...or find one that has it installed already.

 

In a straight line I can't tell which one is faster. To be fair, the Tacoma is s/c. Now as soon as I start turning it isn't even close. FR-s hands down

 

Will do, thanks man!

So the fr-s in a straight line is comparible to a supercharged Tacoma??

 

I don't think its fair to either side to compare a moderately modded taco to a stock FR-S in a straight line.

Taco has more tq and more hp, will most likely have a slightly quicker launch but the power with the FR-S is in the mid to high range rpm's. Rolling launch test, I'd go fr-s over taco.

 

If you are looking at an intake, I'd look at the Perrin one

I agree, that makes sense. But all I hear is that it's just a fun car to drive, every time you get in it. That's exactly what I'm looking for haha. Y'all happy you made the switch from taco to fr-s?

Interesting. Reminds me if the URD TCAI for the taco, the way it comes out right behind the grill.

 

Its not meant to be a muscle car, its just meant to be fun to drive

 

i agree with this. i also have alot of extra weight on my truck too.

and i still havent made the switch. i just own both
