I'm probably one of the last ones here who's never owned a car with 200+hp. Infact, I think all my cars have listed at 140hp or less. That's never been a big concern, since I've always preferred to wring out a small motor, and it's never kept me from taking these things to the track. But for the last 5 years, I've been driving sedans (g20, 09 civic) cause i'm playing the part of a 'responsible parent' and really it's been A to B utility, boring. Tonight I finally join the 200hp club and can once again enjoy the driving experience.

Picked up a FRS. Not since my miata days have I felt this giant grin on my face. Just the way the car wraps around you, the clunkiness of the shifter, the noise of the car, the responsiveness ... I'm like a pig in shit. And I don't care that people say it's under powered. It feels like plenty to me. And on those skinny little tires, it's more than enough to kick them loose. I wasn't even trying and the back end stepped out. If people are getting these for their snotty nose kids, we'll probably see a lot of them at the junkers. Just enough room to fit the kids in the back if I need to. I feel whole again. Just wanted to share.

I'm sure someone will ask, why not BRZ or why not wait for the convertible. BRZ has a long wait, and higher price tag. This also had a long 4 month wait but I managed to catch an incoming shipment and just waited about 10 days (would been less if it weren't for the snow storm). As for the convertible, I've had 2 miatas, and I love putting the top down, but this car just looks better as a coupe.

This silly car has a speedo that goes up to 260kph ... i don't think you'd hit that speed throwing it out of a plane.

Interesting factoid: this car is only roughly 12 inches longer than my old NB miata.

Oh man good job.
Brilliant car, and good fun.
The crappy skinny tires are a perfect match for that car. So fun as is. Rotation on demand! PS sell me your seats XD

tucked into the garage. snug up against the wall.


sales guy asked me if i wanted the front plate. i said that i thought it was a requirement in ontario, and he said it's not.

i got the upgraded sound system so it looks better than the base plastic toy looking thing. it actually has a touch screen. some of the interior does feel plasticky but my hands are usually planted on the wheel or the shifter so me no care. the seats are like "whoa!" the clock is straight out of the 80's. i thought it was an exact facsimile of the one from my ae86.

i shall name her Scarlett.

Enjoy it. It's no Miata, but it's as good as it gets with a back seat and a roof.

Have the dealer do it, don't do zip ties, it will be ghetto and please don't put it in the grill or any type of offset variant either.

What did the car come out to all in?

Dealer is very likely to drill holes...

I believe the num-nums at Nextmod sell them.

I forgot what it was now, but IIRC, no holes needed to be drilled.
DVNLT does it the proper way. I see other dealers fudge it up and drill unnecessary holes. Go to them and ask/have them install the plate. That was one of the things I checked out when I test drove the car, because I either see ugly offset plates on FRS's, or plates mounted funny via drilling holes.

EDIT: I believe 2 holes were drilled in the grille. So your bumper will be hole free! They use a plate mount, so any hole drilled is covered by the plate mount anyway...and should you want a clean front end again (for future resale, or whatever), you only need a new grille insert.

please do not drill holes into that bumper. 4 zip ties will hold it on no problem in the middle of the grill. never trust dealership guys to put on the plate, it was the same deal as the nice gen TL, they would put two dirty big ass holes right in the bumper.

Yup.

Incase my madness was unclear, DVNLT doesn't drill the bumper. Just the grille.
You can't exactly ziptie a plate to the grille because the upper portion actually contains faux mesh...it's actually blocked off. So whether you zip tie it, or put a proper plate mount on it a la DVNLT, there will be drilling required *only in the grille/airdam/whatever that black thing is infront of the rad*
