Gave her a bath(FD pics)

93 Base/tan, 46k original. I love these scuff plates.


VDO boost guage/pillar, G-Tech Comp Pro, Profec-b, OEM radio with 6-disc changer in storage bin(bleah!). Got extra new tan floor mats in the bag but I don't wanna get them dirty.


Needs more bling, other than hardpipes/Apexi intake(not visible).


Tanabe Race Medallion Exhaust without silencer installed.


With silencer. Don't need it anyways. This is the best sounding FD exhaust IMHO. I'll record some wav files/shoot video sometime.



17" Advan Model 5's in bronze with Yoko ES100's. Love these tires!





Yes it was repainted by the previous owner for the August 97 SuperStreet article(I'll scan and post it sometime). It's Caracas Red(Mitsubishi 3000GT). Extremely red with a tint of orange.

Talking

You washed it and didn't even take it to the monthly meeting today? I was working and I even went for a few minutes. You know my exhaust was better sounding than your "Tawanabe" exhaust.

Stick a cork in it, Q. At least I havent popped 2 FD motors(2 cars) in a year and now drive a turbo caravan.

Old 18" Speedline rims in my siggy(still for sale).

*Edit* Bicuspid(Rich) from the West forum works for Bulletproof Automotive and had a container come in from Japan with them. He went with a different style so I snagged them. Very rare rims, actually.

I never popped an FD Motoer. I blew a seal in a Turbo II and my friend blew the motor in my 88 a couple months after he got it for free from me. You just jealous I have a turbo van that is faster than your RX-7.

Thumbs up

Clean car. You need a front lip to top it off. I'm really liking that color. Do you have a side pic of the entire car?

Front lip on order. GReddy 2 row/piping very soon(b4 SS7)

Other than a 99 J-spec nose/wing and ApexI skirts, the wing-less look grows on you.

Ice do you own any rotary car? No? Off to The Lounge with you!

Very nice, cleanest 93 evar!

I love those rims, I wonder how they would look on a MontegoBlue though... agh you are tempting me away from the Enkei Aegis that 'Pianoprodigy' has on his MB.

Nice setup, just the front lip and a steering wheel will look nice??

Not sold on the idea of no rear spolier, can't make my mind up if thats cool or not??
