Picked up my first FB
Picked up my first FB this past weekend, needs some body work and some interior, diff has a small leak and the OCR are going bad, but all in all for $900 I don't think it was a bad deal, it has good compression and pulls pretty hard. . .just smokes lol.

Also I have an Apexi'i N1 catback for a N/A FC laying in my house, I'm thinking about using it on my FB, right now my set up is RB header (2 to 1) to a glass pack to straight pipe to dynomax muffler, sounds good but way to quiet. what ya guys think?

$900 for a mostly complete running FB is a great deal.

i think you should forget trying to mix and match FC parts on the FB. i think you should get a RB presilencer and a RB muffler and use those with your RB header. should sound really good then! will look forward to seeing the new pics!

Congrats R-cien! Score on the price. Looking forward to seeing more pics. How'd you find it? Hope you can bring it down to Irvine for the big SevenStock event in the Fall.

I know that, but it matches my screen name, R-Cien is spanish for R100.

Also, I should be dropping in a J-Spec engine here soon, so hopefully she'll be ready for sevenstock.

Thanks.

Just bought a RB power pulse pre silencer to add to my RB headers, next step is to hack up my N1 and slap it on just in time to pick up my J-Spec engine, God willing it's a good engine, then I'll start working on suspension.

Nice find man! What are your plans for the suspension? It will be interesting to see how she sounds with the exhaust you have planned, should be a bit louder than the typical RB setup, which would be a plus...
