You can ask Kahren where it is cause I think he worked on it. I know Sandor (T210thann on here??) bought it from someone, maybe you? back in 2003/4. Other than that I dono. That thing was damn clean... I thought it was an s5?

Dude, relax about the lip. These cars are almost 20 years old now, so it's not like any of the lips are a new thing or something. It's an odula replica (perhaps the real thing on this particular car?). I believe shine auto project (see forum vendor list at top) sells their own version of it for around $250, and it also shows up on ebay in their store.

1FastT2....Yes Sandor (T210Anniv) is the one that bought your car, I know him and have talked to him several times about your car. Hope this helps! May I ask why you are trying to track it down?

Yup, Sandor had it as of 2 yrs ago (when he took me for a ride in it).
Not sure if he still does. He used to live in the Hartford, CT area.

I thought Sandor sold it for a BMW? I was just curious as to what kinda condition it was in. And if its messed up I wanna a piece of the person that messed it up, hahaha, jk. I should have never sold it. My 3rd Gen should be just as nice someday though.

Well I haven't talked to him for about a month, so I don't know if he has recently sold it or not, but yes he did buy a bmw but he still had your car also.The last time I did talk to him the car was still in the same shape as when you owned it. I know he did put volk wheels on it, and did rebuild the motor. You could try getting a hold of Ihor on the forums, I believe him and sandor are good friends also. I used your car as a base idea for my car that I built because your FC was one of the nicest I have seen. Pic of my car below..

Its actually a FEED replica lip. Not an Odula lip.

Uh...I dont know about feed, but it definitely looks like odula to me.

Odula product website:



Regardless, it doesnt make a rat's *** either way. There are 4 or 5 well known lips for the FC and this is one of them.

True, there are many lips for the FC (mostly for the S5 anyways).

But look at the pictures you posted yourself. They are clearly not the same. The center section is different.

I know his lip is a FEED lip because I also had one on my old car. And I also have an Odula lip in garage from corksport.

I have it

I have it now.
it was another case of "not everything is gold that shines"

the amount of internal things that were overall wrong with the car.... both mechanically and electrically... I can't even begin to explain. if you were to keep it and not do any more work to it, and just drive it, it would have burned down or blown the engine. in fact, it did do both of those things, while Sandor had it. to some degree due to his fault, to some, due to the owner previous to him.

starting with the fact that the springs on the oil control rings were put on backwards, and finishing up with leaky fuel dampener, poor injector fitment and the most terrible rats nest of a wiring job for both audio and engine/gauges... it's all been re-done now, just waiting for new gauges so i can take out... wow I can't even describe it, wires going into STOCK fuses to tap in for power?... that's just a small example. it took about 60 hours of incremental work (fixing one thing, later finding another, and repeating this process), just to get the wiring to where it is now. re-doing is always harder than starting from scratch.

but anyway, interesting thread.

sil80

yes. i know this thing is over 2 years old. but i had to deal with it recently, so i'm venting.

I dont know who's fault it is, but I can remember the 10th anny that sandor had, he messed that one up pretty good considering it was a 12k mile car when he got it.

I had wanted to buy his 10th about 3 years ago and I was sad at its shape at the time, also with a blown engine in crates, ended up getting my black coupe that weekend instead.

IIRC sandor paid ALOT of money for that car, I cant help but think it was in better shape that many years ago compared to now.
