Recently sold my Fd.

Here's the last time I got to enjoy it fully






But I also picked up another. Currently getting the motor built but should be fun.

^^So, is that the AD-9 hood with additional side venting added, or has a follow on to the AD-9 hood been introducted. Crazy venting!

the side vents on the hood are made by a tuning shop called "Ready Go Next". The owner of the shop is Daisuke Aoki, he was the former chief mechanic at RE-Amemiya. He was responsible for tuning the RE-Amemiya Touge monster FDs. He broke off and started his own shop specializing in tuning time attack cars. His own FD which he drives at Tsukuba does 56 second laps with stock twins.

Thanks Jose,

Usually I get "Only thing bugging me...is that engine"
but I'm used to it by now haha

I actually used to have that fuse panel hidden, I moved it back up to try and maintain symmetry(side-to-side) once I added the AC drier to the left.
I'd definitely prefer if I could hide both

Another reason why power isn't everything when it comes to going fast; that's INSANELY quick around there!

Yeah, im sure you lost a lot of fans with that bay . I dont mind swaps, each to their own. I noticed that the AC thing there and kinda mde sense but i personally would still move it

Looks great regardless
