I knew it!!!

No way someone has 3 FD's that all run...You have 3 so you can still drive a FD when the other 2 are in the shop :p

No, man.

No disrespect on the thread starter and other people, but one thing money can't buy is....your 'new-ish' structure!!

FD is a extreme performer. Most will 'use' it from 70 - 100% of the performance all the time. Hard connor, acc., etc, and accident. Those contribute to less rigidity of the car sturcture.

Why do I like the rigid structure so much? I just like the feel of driving a stiff car. It's like compare driving FD and cammy.

The mod you can do it as time goes on, but the rigidity can't be brought back (except the roll bar ???).

But, in reality, we all have to compromise one thing for another.

Just FYI

white 99 spec = 26k miles
Other White = 87k with new motor
Motego = 78k

Wow! Very awesome collection!!! I'm struggling to maintain my envy. The '99-spec car is by far the sexiest of the bunch. The flames and spoiler on the blue one are rather grotesque and degrades the entire car visually, but that's just my opinion. Would you mind me asking how old you are and what you do for a living?

It too kabout 2 weeks for our site to recover with the mods cleaning everyhting up. (I'm a moderator on the site) but now we're threadjacking soooooooo.............

RX8 is ok, but i don't consider them as a sports car. is more like a sport sedan like BMW M3.

you asked for it. you link the lounge to the forum then asked us to take care of him so... and whats the point of bringing this back? you hold onto simple grudges... its the damn internet.

edit: and the almost stock internal eclipse thought it can go over "250 mph" with a body kit.

That one pic of the '99 alone on the track is exactly why I love FD's....so nimble on handling and sexy styling! Must be nice to be banking with the cars and garage you have (personal 2 story garage...nice)
