Introduction to my 2nd FD

Back in an FD. Picked it up a month ago for 8 grand automatic and salvage title due to fender bender. I've had an fd in the past an fc and an rx8. I've had to replace a coolant hose to the turbo fix a boost leak and got a oem jdm downpipe. Done at palm tree rotary. 141k miles was kept in good shape. Has enkei rpf1 tein flex and racing beat catback. Let me know what you guy's think.

It's my daily driver so my plans are to keep it as reliable as I can afford and take care of it. I don't know the history of the car all that much. Not sure how many miles are on the engine I doubt it has 141k miles.

Nice FD. You are in bakersfield? I got a white FD and I spend a couple weeks out of the month in Bakersfield for work. I don't think I have ever seen an FD other than mine in Bakos yet.

I'm not sure, I bought the car this way. The offset is wrong because they stick out to much on the rear
