My FD is a fuc*ing racecar and a Minivan
My friend Mad_7tist on here helped me with my whole project. Basically he did all of the difficult mechanical work and guided me on any tough and crucial decisions I had to make because I was more of a newb than I realized. Without him I'd have just a regular modified FD and even then not at its potential and I wouldn't have been able to do the custom setup I wanted without being so frustrated that I'd lite the car on fire. One of his biggest themes was keeping the car streetable because it is my only car and therefore my daily driver. I don't know how many times I heard him say "you're gonna have a 400hp car and be able to go through a Mcdonald's drivethru just like every other jackass"
Well James this ones for you bro. Good time to thank you for everything you did, it doesn't get much better than this and this weekend (without the tv) I'm taking it out to battle the fastest car in gville an 03 cobra trapping 128.
BTW this tv is at best buy its a 27" flatscreen toshiba with clearcolor options and it will fit in the trunk of your fd effortlessly. (not guaranteed for those with bose tube radio)

I'm just always careful when I put stuff in so that I don't hurt the interior. That tv did lower my car about 1/2 inch it was so heavy but I only went 3/4 of a mile with it. I've moved my entire apartment from college to back home with my fd one trip. Really helps when my mom complains about how I should get a more practical car.

The passenger rear storage bin is for your relocated battery! The one behind the passenger for an emergency kit.
I keep around a pimpin' 1984 Mercury Grand Marquis Station Wagon for the serious hauling.

What's up Yanni?
You and I need a second car. How's you're car running? I'm still waiting for my exhaust and Coilovers. I put the Greddy Profec B II in last night. it's pretty cool. I still have to mess with it. See you around. James is coming over to help me change the Fifth gear syncro. If you are bored, come by. We will be there all day.
See ya.

Aldo ask yur buddy for the pics that I sent him it shows a home made tool but the transmission was totally out.
I wouldn't worry too much about it. How many times does James have to prove himself. He could have his own shop right now even rotary specific and make all the others look silly. By the end of the weekend you'll be sportin a working 5th gear
I drove my 93 around for a year and then sold it with the problem. Mine was never really that bad but I can see how you'de wanna replace it I would do the same on this car.
