im always kinda off about insurance stuff cuz MI is a "no fault state" so your insurance covers you. if you dont have collision coverage and you get hit your out the money regardless if its your fault or not.

 

Here are my money pits:

1989 GXL -Supercharged 13B:



1987 TII - Track car:

 

wow Is collision coverage outrageously expensive then? I would assume almost everyone would have it if not.

In NJ pretty much anytime you get rear ended it's the person who hit you's fault. Even if it was my fault I have comprehensive (collision, theft, etc) so I should be good either way. They were trying to hide coolers and beer after they hit me so that could lead to even more depending on if my insurance wants to sue etc. etc. I've never had to deal with anything like this so no clue on how that would work

Here is a picture of my first fc to keep this semi on topic lol, completely stock s5 na at this point just some kei office coilovers

 

more pics/info of green turbo track car!!!

 

+1; love the headlights although they don't seem to fit correctly.

 

True, they are BMW bi-xenon projectors and hella high beams... they don't fill up the holes too well (way too small, but they are super bright) and then the bumper doesn't fit too will on the car either... oh well... it's a track car, not a show car.

I actually bought this car as it sits (since it was cheaper and faster than converting my GXL to a track car this winter), I didn't do the work but I have started to sort the loose ends out and modify the car for my needs to get it ready to rock in 2012. It was originally built for "One Lap of America" but it was never entered.

From a track day a few months back.

 

Nismonic u bringing the S/C rx7 saturday to the Diner? I want to check that out, I have never seen a S/C rotary in person

 

If I don't have to travel for work this weekend, I'll be there.

 

^I'm a bit confused. Does the race car have a turbo engine? I'm thrown off by 36lb injectors. Stock turbo injectors are about 50lbs.

 

It's got a non-RX7club approved non-turbo motor in it. 406whp Ls1 I was going to leave that little bit out for the sake of not turning this thread into a Rotary vs V8 flame war.

 

lmfao, yo text if ur going to the meet tomorrow, maybe we can cruise there

 

HAHA lol. I don't mind V8 swaps in the least. No worries from me

 

New here so go easy..I'm trying to fix it up little by little, but with no money coming in and lots going out, it's getting to be a bit difficult. Actually a really good picture, it's in a bit worse shape than you see here. You can see more pictures in my album (If i set it up right) if you'd like.

Anyways, i took this about 3/4's of the way up the Sandia Crest, here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It's a 1987 S4 FC...Base 2+2, N/A, etc. etc.

It's a pretty big picture so i threw it in the thumbnail below. Let me know what you think, and better yet, let me know if anyone else is from around here. I've been seeing **** loads more FC's lately driving around, compared to just a few months ago when i never saw any. I guess people are getting those last drives in before they store them (They were in FANTASTIC shape) but mine is a DD so i don't really have that luxury.

 

i got a black wing to put on it still, what do you think?

 

^ lower and buy some better wheels good base to start with!

 

^ Agreed, plus its looks kinda odd with wide front fenders but none in the rear - other than that a good start, not a lot of yellow FC's.

 

yeah i think i need bigger wheels too and i wanna lower it just dont got the money right now, im only 16 w/o a job so pretty good start and im looking for rear flares but no luck so far

 

this is what it was when i got it

 

 

why no turbo hood? , other than that its really nice

 

Those wheels are perfect!
