Ramy, not to jump on you again, but...

Before you start throwing questions at people in old threads, you might want to check to see if the person you're asking is even on the forum any longer. If you scrolled up the page to 93BlackFD's last post and clicked on his name, then selected the "Find more posts by" option, you'd see he hasn't posted since September 15th.

Jim,

That's fair game...but the reason I didn't do this w/ 93BlackFD was cuz I've seen his posts recently (or so I thought...I didn't know the last one was in Sept.). If it was an unfamiliar handle, I'd check to see if they're MIA or not. Thanks for the tip tho.

Oh and I didn't revive the thread and just pose a ?. Someone had brought it back to life, and a few posts later I asked my ? (again, because I thought I had seen his posts relatively recently).

I think he sold the engine to someone in Japan. He had another engine build by Rick Engman (small street port). The 1/2 bridge was too aggressive for his daily taste I guess. :-D

I saw Brian and his car Friday night. It sounds sweet and looks better than before. He has added a rollcage, a rear diffuser, and a killer oil system - among other things. He just hasn't bothered posting on here lately.

If I recall he also had a few peoples parts or had ripped a few people off, I can understand wanting to keep a low profile. Wish he would post more often though.

Killer oil system? You mean like upgraded oil coolers? Not sure what else you can do w/ the oil system?

"can't go single turbo on the stock ECU/fuel system can you? i can't afford a friggin single turbo setup, i can barely afford a good air filter setup."


I do feel your pain, and I am sorry for your bad experience. But I thought you were kidding with this comment at first, then I realized you weren't. And second the best advice I can give you is to sell your car and get another one later when you can afford it. The more you cut corners to save money with an FD them more it will end up costing down the road. I tried to own one in college when money was tight and it was a BIG mistake. Now that money is not a problem, my last FD ran perfectly because I didn't cut corners. Honestly man, it's not good to yourself for the stress, and it is HORRIBLE to own an FD and not know if you can slap a single turbo on the car without ECU/fuel upgrades.

You are the devil. I just devised a plan in my head to seduce you, then steal your FD to save it from being owned by you. And I AM NOT a malicious person- so the fact that I'm considering this tells you that I feel strongly about you not owning your car ANYMORE. Please, go buy a Civic. And beware of any girl that comes onto you from now on; it could be me initiating my scheme.

LOL Damn straight Ramy! I may be petite, and sweet 99.9% of the time, but F*@$ with a person I love or an FD, and I'll take you on!
