I voted 1-2 years, since there was no category for within the last month, which is when the weather broke for a day (no salt, no snow) and we took it for a ride.

You guys must be busy with other things to be waiting to get your cars on the road.

Another reason why FD owners need fun daily drivers lol
You have no idea. I park mine all of Ohio's winter, until the salt is gone. My s14 is stock ka and drives me crazy. A stock s14 is so slow, all I can think about is getting back behind the wheel of my FD.

about 5 hours since i've driven mine. i've put 14k miles on my FD in the past year during which time i have done a full overhaul on the suspension including all pillowballs, bushings, and coilovers, replaced the transmission, put in a new clutch, and gone single turbo. Really the only thing left to replace is the motor.... it won't be down for more than a couple weeks as most if that happens. I have a spare sitting awaiting a rebuild.

Mine sat for almost 4 years till I had the money to buy the right parts to make it run good. It moved from friend to friend for storage. I'm glad I have a garage now and glad I'm driving her everyday again.
