That's Tom Ngo's FD. Here's another thread about it:

I'm not sure if he is a member here or not.

i know what cup holder you're talking about..it's huge...i went to look at this other FD for sale, and that guy had the same cup holder (not has flashy, but same one). he actually drilled holes into the dash to put the cup holder in. i was like WTF, you know that you just ruined the dash right!!! btw, the mag said his car dynoed at 470 hp (somewhere around there) but has no time slip...."but you can bet it ain't a 15 second car"

take off all those gay stickers, change the interior to have some class, then it'd be an alright ride.

If that FD didn't have 80lbs of stickers on it, those two bottles of NAAWWWZZZZ, that dam naked guy on the back, 19 or maybe 20inch rims, and all of the unnecessary mobile electronics; it would be a very unique FD. It does have a single turbo, I believe a T-78 and a Front Mount IC. The owner is a pretty nice guy from the times I've met him at carshows.

I think the point is that some of us aren't interested at getting "looks", especially at the cost of our dignity. As show cars go, I actually think that one is pretty nice looking, but it is still riced out WAY too much to drive around. And I still can't figure out why people want cars they can't drive around.

i like the car, it looks good, that's for sure. i don't think he takes it to the track tho or does any racing at all in it. that's the only reason i don't like it, is cuz our cars are made for sports driving, not sittin there looking pretty. not sayin his car couldn't lay some whoop *** down, but i'm pretty sure it doesn't get used. plus it has airbags on it for suspension, which aren't the best for performance

Ok I'm really starting to wonder what's happening to this forum when 80% of the people think that "thing" is nice..


P.S. With it being a "show" car and all the other crap he has polished he should have polished the LIM

Well, the engine is a whole lot prettier than mine is, and it is more powerful - just for that I give him props. Plus, I like the bodykit (Feed, correct?). The graphics and stickers are overdone, and the rims are too big - but, for a show car, it is very nice. I'm not too big on the interior scheme, but it's not my car, so I can't complain

It's actually not a bad show car FD. The silver and black wore well together. I could do without all the graphics though. Overall he pulled it off well but I would prefer stock over something that extreme as far as looks go.

Yeah, I saw that.

He fits the definition of "assclown" perfectly, and his car helps him in that role too.
