Thread: FRS is here!

That is great news. Is it in the hands of a company or is it out there like EVO scan?

Having driven an SM NA at MSR multiple times I can't wait to have the chance to drive an FRS and compare it handling wise. Too many critics that have driven less than 50 miles on a track have no idea what they're talking about.



Lowering springs always makes things worse in a B chassis.

ECUtek has their setup out there, and a guy is making ROM tunes as we speak. Already has the rom tune available for "stage 1" NA and turbo setups.

It will be interesting to see how much the TRD package will go for considering there are people working on turbo setups and tunes already. The only advantage I can see to a TRD package would be keeping warranty.

@Vex630, trying to associate something such as lowering springs compared to pure physics is weird to me. Please explain to me how else one can overcome physics without the use of lowering springs on a B14.

I am so curious as to what make soccer mom's mini-van, beam having car handle well.

Because an NA has a beam, right? /sarcasm. Did I say B14s handle majestically anywhere in my post ? Nope. I was poking fun at your @Kyle B14 with lowering springs and stock length shocks and then complaining it handled horribly.

Out here at PBIR and I'm sold...car is sexy...just wish it had more power for the money.

However, that warranty is a big advantage if you have car payments on your brand new ride.


Agreed. That looks terrific in the correct color with some nice wheels. Hell yes.

For me in stock form it probably has plenty of horsepower. I'm far more interested in how it handles and brakes.

R&T had an interesting writeup this month.

Too bad they didn't get a set of lightweight 17" wheels for the upgraded tires. That would have been the hot ticket.

here guys. This is my local competition. They're pretty good at breaking into the new markets. They had problems with the direct injection and the dual injector set up, I think they ended up going with id1000's and a haltech.
