Need helping finding an FD

I need some help here guys. A customer of mine is looking on where to go to get the BADASS 3rd gen of his dreams. He's one of those lucky-to-make-it .com owners. Money isn't an issue, he's just looking to make the scary fastest FD on the planet. How should I direct him to?

Could you direct him to a Supra instead? I'd hate to see someone just want a "BADASS" car and kill another FD just because he doesn't know how to handle it. But if you must, check thepartstrader.com for cars for sale, also sometimes some big ones pop up on eBay, and other than that give the US "tuning" shops a call like Pettit and RP and ask if they have any cars for sale or know of any.

PFS seems to attract clients with lots of $$$$$$$ to spend on exotic FDs. Here's the link to their site.

Why dont you just have him import a type R from Japan, do a left hand drive conversion and then put in a 20b or maybe even a 26b. After all, you said money wasn't an issue.

PF does amazing things. I read an article about an RX-7 me made in Playboy. He can get your FD up to 600HP for the right price!

So can I as well as numberous other people on this forum and let us not forget the rotary tuners in Japan. It just depends on what your idea the "right price is.
