2014 frs

Base/6speed

I absolutely love it, far better than any 20+ nissan.

Now i still have to finish my vqswap coupe (pics in enginebay thread)

Managing 31.7 mpg on average

jubee · 07-26-2014, 06:51 PM

i was actually thinking about picking one of these up for a daily like the body not really sure about the motor though. feel this car could have been so much more. but like I said still like it.

And why do we care?

This. Weird thread, I thought it would have some impressions w/ substance about it? Hope its $1X,XXX worth of car payments better than 20+ year old cars.

How's it compare to the newer Genesis? 350z/370z?

Yardjass · 07-26-2014, 09:53 PM

I drove one of these a little while back. It was fun and had a good feel about it, but it was slow. It amazes me that there still isn't a factory turbo option for it.

I care so much right now. I want to know all the things you're going to do with it. Was hoping to see a selfie of both of you together. No homo.

double zero · 07-27-2014, 06:37 AM

^^ what he said... and these are just slow as balls and again no payment or nasty interest for the rest of your life. and face it op. you won't keep this/pay it off..

PMG 705 · 07-27-2014, 07:08 AM

Congrats on the purchase, I like the color.

unwtdhero · 07-27-2014, 09:21 AM

im not sure what i was thinking talking about cars on a car forum.
I owe less than 10k on it. But thanks to the nontroll posts.

Comparing to a 350z, its quick in the curves. However, if you hit the brake you already lost.
Over all the car is awesome.

No plans for mods, keeping the warranty for as long as possible.

If the engine was the same as the WRX or maybe even just measured up to an F20C, then I'd care. But it doesn't, so I don't care.

This ain't an FRS forum.

Word to the wise: don't come into someone's home, shit on the carpet, and expect to be welcomed.

Although it is unclear what your statement meant, you were basically were saying your new TOYOTA is better than any 20 year old NISSAN. On a NISSAN forum. Wherein 90% of the cars on this forum fit that description. It really isn't going to be well received.

Ive been on zilvia for 7 years, this is what ive learned...
You all hate any 240
You all hate any other fr platform
Big wheels are cool
Big wheels arent cool....

I rest my case.

Grocery Cart · 07-27-2014, 02:57 PM

I don't really get it. If you don't care about the dudes new car, then don't click on the post. Move on to the next.
unwtdhero probably just is happy with his new purchase and wanted to share. Why can't there just be a good conversation and not shit slinging? You guys know that not every thread on Zilvia HAS to be "The Kouki/Zenki/Coolest Car/Doing It Wrong/Silvia/Onevia/Chuki/Pignose/Two-Tone" thread, right?

What's not to get that something like this doesn't require it's own thread?

Both of you have been on Zilvia long enough to know we don't go for shit like this. Brag about it in your sig, post it in the pic thread, comment on it if someone asks. Other than that, we all know what a stock FRS looks like, so we don't care.

Now excuse while I go bump another thread more worthy on top of this one...

beavis360 · 07-27-2014, 07:34 PM

I was on the fence but w/ no plans to mod it... 1 pic, talking like its gods personal chariot over far superior twin-turbo 300zx, Skyline GTRs, members w/ solidly built cars, there's no point bragging up a stock base model scion here.

I would like to thank you for taking the depreciation hit. Keep it nice for us

I'm sure we'll get more into them once the STI motor swaps and 2jz swap are more accessible

Loufig · 07-27-2014, 08:23 PM

Whats with these people dropping so much cash for a slow car thinking its fast. You could of had a skyline imported for less then half and be HAPPY. Have fun loan company people love people like you bet you wont keep it long enough to pay it off

lol enjoy being underpowered as shit. I pull busses on these.

NHTKID · 07-27-2014, 09:21 PM

a buddy of mine has one. overall the car is pretty cool. Its lightweight and rearwheel drive. I do however not like the body lines. I am more into the old boxy style cars. that being said when riding and driving my friends it was terribly slow. tbh it felt slower than my stock ka did... he has owned it for over a year now and last i heard he was boosting it because.. well if you are into cars every once in a while you will fool around, and who likes getting pulled by a sohc civic? not me. anyway, nice purchase. enjoy it and make it what you want.

unwtdhero · 07-29-2014, 08:37 AM

I never said it was "fast".
Whats wrong with buying a car that handles well, and comparing it to a 240? (Both being fr)
I dont understand the comments about not paying it off...
I mean i dont buy things i cant afford, maybe yall do?

Anywho my vqcoupe will be my track car.

And as far as relativity goes to the forum, i posted in offtopic.
So if bashing does that much for the egos in this forum, feel free.
After all, it is offtopic.

Good day

My friend got the vortech supercharger on his frs

Love it.

You deff have to do that to it

spooled240 · 07-30-2014, 04:03 PM

It's cool, but not $500 a month cool

Yeah, about that. When I test drove one, the salesman was a complete fucking idiot. Lots of high pressure sales BS, uninformed banter, and shots across the bow about my current car. It was almost as if they trained a retarded monkey to recite bullet points out of a sales brochure.

A few weeks later I was driving my NA Z32, which isn't even a fast car at all. I saw another person test driving the FRS with the salesman on the same route he had me take. Pulled up alongside, revved, raced him, beat him. Had a pretty good chuckle at the possibility that I cost him a sale using a car that is notoriously slow, and went on about my day.

unwtdhero · 07-31-2014, 07:31 AM

Lol @ the hate.

I plan on f/i after my warranty ends.
Theres quite a few options as far as kits go.
One that caught my eye was the STS rear mount.
Wont be getting it, but its funny.
Havent seen these on anything other than mustangs around here.

Well executed, but lol...
These guys at sts apparently own patents on a few components of the rear kit.
Its been said they have sued over homebuilt rear mount kits.

Loufig · 07-31-2014, 08:48 AM

Should of bought a skyline I had mine imported, best choice I ever made. rhd was weird at first though haha.

Well when you make comments like this initially, I'd imagine you're going to catch some static.

Until the RB goes pop, and you're out a bunch of cash for a rebuild. Skylines are not cheap to run or maintain...

...have fun...

And OP sounded like he was over 20+ year old cars...
