^ Holy ****, you still have it! Sometimes I regret selling it but you have done it justice. I don't know what the guy did who built that motor but that was hands down the fasted N/A FC I have ever owned/driven/rode in. Must be a huge streetport.

Ironically I now have another s4 artcic sliver GXL but not nearly as nice.

Yeah, I sold it to you... April 2008 right when you joined the club. I installed the vert wheels, the tein/kyb suspension, speakers, full RB system.

The guy I bought it from bought it from the original owner who was a little old lady. The engine died on her and he picked it up cheap. He bought the engine form a professional rotary engine builder. The engine was previously used in the engine builders personal FB and he built the motor. The guy I bought it from swapped the engine in and had to sell it for financial reasons right after he got the motor in. I only drove in 1000-2000 miles maybe over the year or so I had it. It was my 3rd vehicle and found myself rarely driving it.

It looks really good still, even better actually. So hard to find an NA FC that clean now. I know because I tried.

I don't know your username here thats why im wondering if you really are the previous owner and it looks like you are since you know the history my car haha.

Yeah it is hard to find a clean FC in Seattle, the last clean fc i saw that was on sale was Erik's GTUs with infini rims, i think you know each other, iirc he said he knows the previous owner of my car and what kind of mods in the engine

Yup, I've known Erik since he was a young rotary pup, 10 years or so. Some stories there for sure. I would have bought his GTUs but I had a S5 T2 at the time. Now I just have a 87 GXL that I am going to start a slow build up on. Gotta get other projects out of the way first.

Keep that thing clean. If you see a beat up arctic silver FC north of seattle it is probably me.

It looks really good!

The is another 16x8 though, that I have.
The 16x7 front was paired with 16x8 rear.
And the 16x9 was paired with a 16x8 for the front with less offset.
One for the regular starion and one for the wider body.


Arctic silver looks really good. If I didn't get my blue car I would have waited out for a silver or white one.

Thanks. Currently swapping in ITBS and a haltech. As for the exterior, Shine RE sideskirts, RE rear diffuser, Shine vented hood, and Shine s5 half bumper made to fit S4.

I would of preferred to have the complete shine front bumper, but I really like the s4 black trim. I will more than likely be installing a rocket bunny 180sx coupe wing as well for that old school retro racer look.
