that's what I want to have, plus I found a nice hood, doors, inner door panels, door handles, and a hatch that I'm very fond of.

then I'll have to get some interior goods custom made to get the overall carbon theme in! :P. (including gauges, tach, ect...)

the sad thing is,.. I want to keep it mostly stock, except the cooling, until I can safely have higher horsepower. looking good is does not jeopardize the engine.

this should all happen in a year or less, and with my budget, it's a reasonable goal!

Welcome to the forum, read the FAQ's and suggested readings, down;load the FSM.
Say you've driven quite a few, yet your list doesn't show any vehicles (that I'd call cars, these are daily drivers) to be passionate about.

Do you plan on winter driving your FD? Or will you be joining the rest of us staring longingly at the parked car in the garage?

Just an FYI, that's a poor fitting, knock off of a C-West N1 Aero body kit...

Well besides that, this car will pretty much be your new girlfriend. It likes money, treats you nice if you treat it nice, can be a bitch at times, and likes it when you push hard and it will go fast.

I figured with my motor build 3k for a motor, maybe 200$ in parts... No I was wrong, spent 250$ in bolts and gaskets, 2500$ on a intercooler, boost controller, flywheel, counterweight and some other parts. Still need to order a R85 turbo(t04r got stolen), all the fittings, get my downpipe modified to fit the housing of the turbo, get new belts, think my suspension is on the way out, and vacuum lines. So for this build figuring I am spending 9k, it's good for emptying my bank account fast and my college money. If it happens again within a year probally end up killing myself. I got the black apex seals so lets see how good they are
