My new FD!!!
 

Alrighty fellas, I finally got the chance to scan in some pictures of my new ride. After 9 years of a hard-on for 3rd gens, I finally worked my ass off enough and had the money and ability to aquire one. And, after almost an entire year of searching for the right one, I can finally call myself an FD owner. Hope you like the pics, give me some of your honest feedback and opinions.

I found her while I was on leave visiting some friends and family. A friend told me that he saw an FD in the area and it was almost exactly what I wanted. I called the guy up (original owner), and the rest is history.

In case you cant tell from the pics, its a '93 Black/Tan Touring with about 40k miles on it. Except for a small rub-mark in the back bumper (about the size of a nickel), she is in almost perfect shape. Completely stock and original, with the exception of the Enkei wheels.

My plans for it right now are to do just a few mods I kind of like it being stock, so I'm not going to go too overboard. I'm working on some of the reliability mods right now. After that, I plan on putting in a downpipe and probably a nice cat-back. Probably a new intake after that. Anyone have any suggestions for which ones I should use? I kind of like the look of the dual-tip exhaust. Anyone know of a dual-tip exhaust with a really nice (low-tone) sound to it? What about the intake? I was looking at the PFS and M2 one, but I'm not sure.

Also, the car will be garaged in the winter, but I'd also like a nice heavy-duty, outdoor, weather proof cover for it for the summer. Any suggestions there?


Thanks a lot for your input. I'll be around.
