55 degrees and no rain in sight? Take the fun car to work ..
16" wheels just look right on this car, and Infini wheels are beautiful. I'd look for a set of 16s myself, but tires are easier to find for 17s so that's what I'm running.
Are your tail lights tinted? That amber is very nice, and mine seem a bit brighter.

Definitely love me some infini BBs. This set was a gem and had to have. One day I’ll go a different route for wheels but for now, they’ll stay. Maybe just lighting or the angle of photo , my rear tail lamp housings are oem

Reason: different pic
The 10AE luckily came with the standard suspension only. It can be miserable to find parts for these days. The engine bay is completely original and unmodified. The radiator is original and functions properly as well. The car drives like a new car and better than any FC that I've owned. Its no show car but I need to work on getting the body work done and getting it painted. I'll likely pull the engine and go through all the vacuum lines, gaskets, fix the cracked exhaust manifold etc here shortly. I got the car from the original owner after it had been sitting dead for more than 5 years. The fuel pump had failed and the spark plugs were completely worn down. It fired right up after I replaced the fuel pump, spark plugs, and air filter.
Getting down and dirty up in the mountains again .. nice little road trip from Tampa to GA and TN. Looks like I’ll be driving home next week during a potential hurricane ?! Needs a wash anyway!
Bro, nice road trip!!!! How was it during the longer portions of the drive on the highways? Bet it was all worth it once you got in the mountains.
Car runs great on the highway. The Haltech tune is very smooth on and off throttle. I filled up with E85 at SR52 and I75 in north Tampa and made it all the way to Perry GA before refilling again just under 17 gallons back in on E85. About 19 mpg.
Running 93octane would yield even higher mpg but it’s also pricier and I like pushing for science sake .. I wish there was another E station after Ocala ….
