No I really do not. I actually tell all my friends that like my car or want one not to buy one because it is just not for them. I think very few people understand what owning an FD entails, at least owning one in decent running order.

It needs a new clutch mainly but is also leaking oil and overheating. But because I can't drive it because of the clutch I haven't done anything about the other too.

I went to take the alternator wires off a couple nights ago and the bolt on the alternator sheered off so now I need a new alternator.

I wouldn't have a problem if I were not a poor college student, just taking some time to get the money together. I love the car to death though and will get it running again.

22 - part time student/full time worker for a distribution company on Kauai driving, delivery, merchandising, warehouse and handling sales sometimes. But since the comany is part of my inheritance I assume I can get dirty and sweaty for now. Though with an unemployment rate of 2.5% to find workers though. I bought a 93 R1 w/ 5K on rebuild for $10,500 less than a year ago and have put about $6K into it so far. I haven't seen the car yet, but am hoping that I might get a chance to sell it before I see it firsthand and fall in love. For some reason though I'm still progressing with a single turbo setup.
