Lol... I said the same thing. Built a few Skylines and a SR 240..

for the amount I'm now into my FD, I could have had built one super badass GTR... and actually be driving it around.

Spyder,

As per your question, in my humble opinion, I think base seats are the most desirable of the factory seats (other than the recaro). Nice job.

Nice pics funk.

Spyder I really like what you did with the car. I've always wanted a strict up spec'd OEM car it just seems so expensive and time consuming to do. I salute your tenacity.

I think Rich is going to yell at me for talking without posting pictures of my car, so here it sits in its vegetative state:

Installed side generators

Hopefully taking the meisters to the powdercoater this week, ordered 305/30 and 255/25 Michelin ps2 tires this week too so I am hoping to have the car on the ground by the end of next week.

What is the name/code of this color? it looks great!

Very tasteful job, and love the colour coded bonnet! Subtle with no wing - makes the most of the classic lines of the FD. Well done fdfreak
