Yeah. I'll eventually take off the plastic (the clear plastic that is on it from the factory that should be removed when it sold) off the sills. Just want to talk to someone before I start pulling to make sure that whatever I use to remove the adhesive glue won't damage the plastic underneath.

BC Sept 11 , 2021 - Vancouver Island Tour

Took a tour of some keen roads on Vancouver Island with some members from Qualicom.

Took the two hour ferry north to Nanaimo from Tsawwassen. Then met up with the island folk and ran up to Campbell River on the "old" Island Highway (curvy and freshly paved).

Then back down the four lane paradise called highway 19.

Almost no cars on the road and those that were were all cruising at 140 kmph.

On the way up island, stopped at Macs at Fanny Bay for "lunch". Went inside, nothing but cold steel counters and they were only selling fresh oysters by the bag.

My craving for fresh oyster tacos will have to wait for another trip.

Black car below is a 1995 Type R Bathurst X. A rare find. (Original car would have had a "whatetail" spoiler, suitable for the location.)

Modded silver car belongs to IslandFD, as seen sometimes in these pages.

Started off with heavy rain, but it lifted and we had mostly dry roads after that.


Killer Whales off to port!

SUV "sushizume".

FD Hot Wheel in the gift shop. A good omen!

^ That's pretty cool, one of my childhood friend recently migrated to Vancouver, she is also visiting Vancouver Island this weekend. I also have a distanced relative retired out there but I didn't have enough time to take the ferry out last time I was there, maybe next time. We did rent a boat out to see whales tho, and one came up within touching distance by the boat!

The whales that came by the boat (the ferry) later went closer to shore and were breaching like crazy!

It was on the national news!

There was a heavy rainstorm and they say the whales were celebrating the end of a very hot summer.

Fall cruising season begins..............

Annual visit to the spawning grounds around Alouette Lake, B.C. Heavy rain last night broke to a clear fresh morning.

Here are a few photos of my 92 Type R. Not perfect by any means but I'm happy with how she's coming along given my full-time student income



Photographer added some fx to this one

No work in the oil field for me haha. I've framed houses and done some accounting work but I am currently a business student.

Great to have shots while the car was still in Japan.

Lets hope the container port jam ups are cleared!

BC Late night Tofu run.

Visited the local Fujiwara Tofu Shop tonight. Met with Billy the owner. Wish them luck!


Fujiwara Tofu Shop is a hit! 50% off if you park your FD in front (more if it is Yellow).

Wow! exciting looking car. Hope to see more of it once it lands up in Utah.

If those are real Ganador mirrors you have hit a jackpot.

Looking at them in other pics & judging by the full list of mods, it’s likely they are. There are several things I am removing, and replacing back to normal though. Wish this car wasn’t gutted, it was definitely a track car once upon a time. Thanks

Well those Ganadors will fund a good deal of restoration. Act fast though. All kinds of imitations coming out.

Watch out they don't disappear between there and here.

Gonna hope the car arrives un-touched. Anyone have an idea of the front bumper? It’s a zenki style for sure, and not a half bumper. Looks like the Aussie “SP2” but not exactly it.

Looking forward to getting into the FD mix, and RHD crowd here seems chill, some amazing cars just in this thread.

I’ll be in search of the rear seats and some misc interior bits too. Feel free to PM me if you happen to see this thread and are stripping down your interior.
