AE > FT

[Tigawoods]

wait.....is this a thread for your purchase of a FT or the restart of Initial D?

[SupraKid]

AE > FT

x999999999999999999999999999999999999

[njccmd2002]

Ae > Frs. But they are either rusted or played more than the national anthem. So......

[Tigawoods]

Itd be cool to see one that doesnt have some body kit on it.
The fujiwara version is the AE at its best. stock body lol

[njccmd2002]

[bloodMoney]

Wow....

I demand pics NAO!!!!!

[njccmd2002]

Best miles ever

[96bluevert]

love the rev limiter right in the middle

[cheela]

MOAR PICS!!!!

[njccmd2002]

Ill get more pics hen i get the chance.


I have changed my mind 180 about this car, its simply amazing for the price. You cannot expect a lambo for 26K, but you know what, it has what it needs. Why shove expensive electronics like digital a/c and crap when most people will gut it to modify it and put a cage. Well im not doing that.

I was asleep yesterday, and my salesman called me, and told me their dealership had a 6MT frs not preordered, and in the color I wanted. So i head there, and someone was already testing it and put a few miles in it. So I was bummed, waited for my FJ out of service, and he came back, told me the other guys deal fell through.

Long story short. I bit the bullet. This means no celica engine upgrade, and no FRS modding for at least a year. Need to continue in the other projects tough.

And yes its a Whiteout 6MT. I always wanted the AE86, but there is no reasoning getting one in good shape. But those who have not driven this car, please don't talk. Talk until you have driven at least 5 miles in one. And i feel bad for everything i said in the beggining, but hell, this car gots what it takes.

You mean tachometer? The rev limiter is not visual..

[jordisonjr]

Damn, be sure to write a full review on this once you've had a good chance to take it out.
I've been thinking about upgrading to this recently, in the next few years maybe.
Unfortunately there's like one in my city right now and its a BRZ.

Would love to hear an honest opinion about the car.

[Tigawoods]

Id hate to get something that would take my attention away from my celica. you are a bold man.....a bold bold man

[bloodMoney]

Dammit!

I needed a daily when I was looking for a car... I tried so hard to wait for the FRS, but the 6g just kept dying on me... I Jelly....

[njccmd2002]

Id hate to get something that would take my attention away from my celica. you are a bold man.....a bold bold man

no my friend, thats not the bold part.

The bold part is having a nice car, that is the new buzz and not modifying it for 1 year, hell im not even joining the FT-86 club yet, and I will keep it as a SCion. I love the Scion thing i guess. Some jdms and euro specs are being swapped to scion, so ive read. Irony, right?

The celica, tough may not get a new heart, but i have several upgrades for it. youll see. I will just drop off the insurance, and work on it side by side with the 76 celica... In the meantime i will ride the frs for fun, and the FJ for hard work.

The 1 year no modification, is an agreement with the wife. So is the celica heart.

[Box]

Best miles ever

*cringes* I can't stand it when the tachometer is to the right of the speedometer, that and the weird speedometer layout. My only real problems with the car, so. Can't wait to see some exterior pics.

[njccmd2002]

you know that is very smart, i just need to know the miles, and if you push the car hard, you need to see the red zone. and both are in the front visual view. For drifters, this must be really important. i GUESS?

ill try to snap pics tomorrow.

[95CelicaST]

All the info you need is right up front.

[njccmd2002]

All the info you need is right up front.

thats right. the rest is crap, hell i dont even look at the gas, unless there is a yellow light, or the car suddenly stops!

I love the car.

[Box]

It's just me being OCD. Alright, look forward to some pics. Glad you're enjoying the car!

from drifting/auto-x my 86 yes.it would be easier to see redline just looking straight down. it bugs me to looks diagonally when your pushing your cars limits.it will shave off time .when im drifting going left im looking out my passenger/very right side of my windshield.you really dont have that much time to turn to look at your tach (left side of my cluster)and look back out the right side of the window (from my personal experience)

A friend of mine picked up a whiteout FR-S.
It's a pearl white and looks good but then he put white wheels on it, not good.
The wheels would look good on almost any car but against the pearl they it looks bad.

Nice pick up Berto

[RabidTRD]

There are two in my city right now. A silver and a red one. I need to test drive one badly. Everyone I know that has done so has loved it. My best friend is saving his pennies for one right now lol.

I can't wait to see pics. I LOVE white Japanese sports cars. White is the true Japan racing color, so it's only appropriate

White is so boring , a nice pearl white is ok though.

[95CelicaST]

The pearl white looks really good. I steered clear of it mainly because everyone else in the area bought a white FR-S/BR-Z.

[RabidTRD]

White is so boring , a nice pearl white is ok though.

Unkept white is boring and dull. Taken care of white is a thing to behold. Ever seen Paul's Super White II post facelift? That thing is so white, you can't look at it in direct sunlight. We joked that he carried it over the mud at DWG last year lol.

[Box]

The paint on my 3000GT was Galaxy White Pearl, or something to that effect. I actually liked the colour, was the only good thing about the car anyway. It'd be a tough choice between Raven and Ultramarine.

[njccmd2002]

sorry guys best pic for now, i slept most of the day, and working nights.

[Box]

Looks awesome! I get the feeling that's one of the few whites I'll like.

[njccmd2002]

thanks, its a plain jane. the brochure shows the frs with fog lights, but i guess that changed. no fog lights.

the horn, sucks, that will be changed eventually

[bloodMoney]

Hella supertones!!!!!!!

[richee3]

Looks great, Noberto!

I've been waiting for someone to paint one like the panada! I hope you do

[Box]

I think fog lights are an option for the FR-S and standard on the BRZ. Could try talking to your dealer and see if they could get fog lights for it.

[njccmd2002]

nope, no options at all, even on scion.com

the five axes kit is available through a dealer but most dealers dont know what the heck that is!!!

[Box]

Strange. On the "Build Your Scion" for the FR-S on the Scion site it shows fog lights along with mudguards and tint etc... Who knows? I like the body kit for them, looks sharp with it.

Just checked, and sure enough for whatever reason fog lights don't show up as an option for the automatic equipped car. They do for the manual though. You have the manual though? More confusion...

its a car not to be driven at night. but for day for everyone to see..

[Neon90424]

someone is inlove with their car.... Btw I just hate the standard wheels that come on the frs....so ugly imho...

[richee3]

I just saw another one of these last night. You can definitely tell what it is when it's coming at you.

[Keiri]

As I said in the FT-86 thread, you have to DRIVE this car to get what it's all about; they feel amazing. Congratulations on the pickup Noberto and be sure to get some shots of the beauties together (the 6g and the 86).

PS: Foglights and a few other options will be available later this month/early September.

[njccmd2002]

well yesterday marks a milestone on this baby. Got a glimpse of this...



and prepared for this, and it happened near a church, the chances?



and for giggles this happened exactly at a stop 1 minute away from home



all this happened while i was listenning to this..



and it just gets better. No mods, not yet. Enjoying it pure stock.

forgot the video

1,000 miles... Now you can get on it.

[bloodMoney]

Maybe he shouldn't.

He's still got 10 months before he's allowed to do anything to it

[95CelicaST]

Better off waiting to see what shakes out at SEMA and let prices fall a bit.

[njccmd2002]

1000 miles = oil change, by me at home..... and thats it.... lol why, because racecar

Maybe he shouldn't.

He's still got 10 months before he's allowed to do anything to it

no mods, and yes chris is right, 10 more months.... why because racecar, lol really right now prices are way to much, and the product out there is not reliable. some complain, others dont, so ill wait and let everyone else do the testing.

as you can see i have managed to handle vsc sport control a lot. I know its limits and what i dont need to do.

Next step is figure out the trac off feature. But i need to do it in a controlled environment. This car is a magnet for accidents.

So far, i still like it a lot. I only drive it 5 miles to work and back, and ocasionally. So i guess 1000 miles is pretty lot for 2 months.

I will let prices fall off a bit. I really want the TRD supercharger, and will wait for it.

Better off waiting to see what shakes out at SEMA and let prices fall a bit.

No Mods for now, everything is overpriced and overhyped, like 300 or 400 for 2 hp, wow, lol..... and like i sadi before, lack of reliability. I dont want to be a test monkey....

No body kits for now, why, because they are too damn expensive and do nothing for the car, except make it more breakable.

Thinking of some white wheels, but will have too see.....

[3WayStunna]

Wow....Threads like this make me want to go out and buy an FR-S right now. NJmccd....I envy you..But im so happy to see you actually enjoying a car AND respecting it for what it is. We need more people like that. Shoot, we need more cars that make people feel and or think that way....


Also yes i spelled your name wrong and im not going to change it....Useless edit #1 complied with.

Glad you're still enjoying it 'Berto!

[CelicaZR]

Nice so jealous!
Glad to see your keeping the 1GC & 6GC

[njccmd2002]

yes most of my wrenching goes to my 77 gt, might i say welding

[Box]

Today like the honey badger

So it was caught using drugs, sent to rehab, and was kicked off a football team?

[njccmd2002]

nope check out the honey badger you tube video.... tha animal animal is fearless.

[njccmd2002]

Scraped the sh1t out of my front bumper. Oh well, to damn low... this car and its curse....

[doGGy]

Welcome to the club! Now just stay away from CEL curse - and it will be super fun car

[95CelicaST]

Pics!

[njccmd2002]

best i can do with phone





not that terrible, but it hurts like hell.

[Box]

This saddens me. Makes you wonder how these people with Ferrari's etc... keep from scraping the hell out of their cars.

[njccmd2002]

man, it only gives character to the car.

[Tigawoods]

self adjusting dampners

[Box]

I hate for that kind of **** to happen to my older cars, much less a new one. Then again I'm OCD.

[95CelicaST]

'Tis but a flesh wound.

[njccmd2002]

thats why i did not post pics, and why i did not make a sad thread in the FT86 club. Like i said, it gives the car caracther, that, and the fact i want to panda my car for giggles.

[Box]

Put a bra on it, good as new.

[njccmd2002]

^^ and gay.. no way... no sir...

i rather put pink seats and have hello kitty stickers.

[Box]

See, this is why you get a black car in the first place. Then you don't see all the scrapes. I agree, I don't like car bras either.

[njccmd2002]

A friend of mine came today, he wanted to test drive the frs



He convinced me to take the front tire out to test a theory



But unfortunately the rumors are true, damn subaru hub. No celica rims will fit the FRS!!!!





so that be it.. New rims it is!!!

[96bluevert]

Nice. I like the white on white, gonna look good when you get some tires on.

[Tigawoods]

grab some hubcentric rings!

[njccmd2002]

no the problem is that it wont go in. the hub is too large, i would have to rebore the rims.

[Batman722]

I'm not a fan of white wheels with that color pearl white.
A friend of mine has the same car/color with white wheels, link to FB, he's got loads of pics of his car.

[Box]

A friend of mine came today, he wanted to test drive the frs

He looks excited.

[njccmd2002]

i bought him as a copilot, found him on a korean store, and adopted him

[Box]

That's nice of you. So how did he like FRS?

[njccmd2002]

He grinned!

[njccmd2002]

and the modding begins, early than expected. Im gearing towards driving performace...

[Box]

TWM...gear selectors.... That's the weirdest gear selector I've ever seen.

[njccmd2002]

ill post pic when it arrives, yes its weird but so are the others...

im considering the next step. maybe a flywheel / clutch combo and then brakes....
