What kind of BOV is that? Blitz? Also, did it fit the flange on the IC pipe or did you have to weld a new one on? I have the same IC kit and I need to get a BOV to fit the flange on the pipe. I don't want to messwith having another flange welded on the pipe.

i don't like the MB color because it isn't stunning like any of the other colors. it's a very drab color that looks good when clean and new but quickly loses its luster

Well said; the paint really gets old and grimy if not taken care of and it fades bad. A fresh coat will have many shades, but it doesn't pop like the VR's, CYM's etc.

You know, you say this a lot before posting pictures. Quit saying you need to do this, and DO IT! Or, if you want, leave it with me and I'll detail her for you, free of charge of coarse.

By the way, I'm jealous that your seats look so much better than mine... Damn you!

W00T! got my first FD!!!

after 10 years of wanting it, finally!!!! I shed a lil tear of joy

Now... I just looked @ the engine parts (yea engine came in pieces) and didnt see the rotary housing or the rotos... saw everything else. So ill see if its within my budget to do a auto -> manual swap, or just put in a auto engine for the time.

Here are some pics:







w00t! seal still there! :P



I know... yuck auto ; ;


Here are the engine parts... I have a feeling im missing allot of stuff...






Well I think it will be best if i buy the engine with tranni. I dont think I have all the pieces here to rebuild it.

There are no shortblock parts in the pics. The auto to manual swap is a pretty in-depth conversion. Best of luck though. I couldn't imagine my FD with an auto

If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for it?

Wow your car looks super mean. The flares look relly good molded and the wheels look great too.

crunshii: nice pickup! You're going to have a ton of fun building that car. I really want to get a roller in the future and build it up.

All I did was get out of the shower

my most recent addition......

Just need some spacers or a wider lip for the front and it'll be good. I know the pics are terrible, I need to get some better shots one of these days. One more set of wheels and I should be good

Dan, very nice! Don't have enough sets of wheels by now to open your own FD wheel shop? Maybe you should at least be the moderator over in the Wheel Forum Loved the gold ones.

I can save you a bunch of time, sell your parts and by my engine and tranny combo (going V8 and won't need it). I have everything except a AST and PFC which I sold to forum members. I can have it out by Rotorfest (7/6/07) if you want to come up and buy it.
