Back again.....

A few years back,I was lurking around and posting here and there in the 1st gen forums. After a failed attempt to rebuild my Z,2 or 3 FB purchases falling through,I ended up with an MKIII Supra Turbo. My first taste of a great sports car. Well,thanks to Katrina,I'm looking for another car here in Texas,and since I've loved the FB since seeing Warren and Evan's Widebody FB's,I'm back to learn a few things and hopefully pick up an FB of my own.

I absolutly loved Evan's FB,full stripped interior with racing seat and 4 point harness,fuel cell and optima in the truck. Amazing wideboy and full on racing slicks all around. The 13k rpm 12a just pushed it over the edge. Now I'm looking to get an FB of my own. Once I learn the nature of the car,I'll be adding pefromance parts little by little,unlike my Z(rebuilt engine T3/T4,etc.). My goal is to eventually learn the car enough to eventually go 13b with maybe a bridge port,full out exhaust and proper Holly carb or modified Nikki if it will support. ( I'll have to research it more.)

The FAQ will be my best friend for the next few months while I save for my FB. Hopefully I'll be able to learn a good amount of info,and get to know the right people.

I love the MKIII's but they are too heavy for my taste. Sorry to hear about it though. Good luck with the find!
