The outside is verry clean I like it!!

Your engine bay is looking pretty mean, like the M2 - I have a very similar setup. Does your strut bar come in contact with the intake at all? It looks like its touching but I cant tell if you had to dent the intake at all to get it in - Im thinking about buying a front strut bar and have the same M2 smic and a similar intake setup

LOL Nice white FD with the "4x4" Handling package

Saw your other post, I have a 94 MBM Touring FD (W/ Glass SR!) as well and mine sits like your friends MBM. Not sure why yours is like that...

Nonetheless, white was never a sports car fav of mine till I saw it on an FD, now time to lower that truck on some gunmetal rims and take new pics! :P

I have the same problem on my IC piping too big

How did you make your own strut bar? Think I could just buy a cheap one off of ebay and bend it so it clears my pipes?

I too like white FD's.. I still dont think I'd want one as the color demands lots of attention though. Pretty nice FD but I noticed your IC is moved over slightly from the ducting, I imagine the battery is the offending party?

Is there something special about the glass moonroof becasue my MBM 94' has one as well...

Hmm, when I origanally researched FD's I came to the conclusion that all 93's had sunroofs (color keyed) and all 94/95's were moonroofs (glass).

So what is the real differance between optioning to get the moonroof then? Touring instead of PEP/PEG, I know I've NEVER seen a 93' with a moonroof unless it was swapped from a later model...

Looks very, very nice! Color-matched mud guards, the glass moonroof, no spoiler to disturb the lines of the car....beautiful!

That car (and all other FDs) have that timeless styling.....styling that will still look great 10 or 20 years from now.

LOL are you kidding or just gay? (JK)

I can appreciate 60's styling, and I'm sure I'll be the crochety old man yellin that they don't make things like they used to,...if my kids think the FD is ugly I'll disown em.

^^LOL thats funny

but its true..its hard to compare cause designing back then is sooo much different from now..so if you want to say 30 years, in the year 2022, about 30 years from the time the fd was developed, you cant say the same thing cause its becoming more advanced each decade..

hahah, I love 60's styling, particularly british cars. IMO the FD has timeless styling as well, just like the 60's british roadsters. My dad has a 66 e-type and he thinks the same thing.

So..? My FD is advanced compared to the 60's cars, heck there's 40x more wiring and hoses! Doesn't change the design and culture of that era.

You see today's vehicles? They're all getting "advanced" to those curvey yet harsh lines and looking futuristic with more, wide, negative space paneling...Yuck.
