pics of my FD check them out

just got my dream car a week ago and thought id take a break from driving it and takes some pics so you guys could see it. I searched high and low for about 8 months until i found an fd that was fairly close and in good condition. the car has been redone from the ground up less than a year ago and the engine, turbos, paint, and mods have less than 3k miles. I couldnt believe the deal I got. I even have a HUGE file filled with nearly every receipt from day one! the mods off the top of my head are 18 in ADR rims(8.5front and 9.5rear), pettit coolcharge II smic, Fluidyne radiator with 2 huge fans running when ignition is turned, odessey mini battery, some clutch upgrade that is new with the 96trans, downpipe, pfs exhaust, M2 intake and M2 stage 3 ecu running stock seq twins at 12lbs. also have autometer boost, oil and water temp gauges. and sweet red interior in awesome shape! I also have a pettit aluminum AST in my room waiting to be installed and forgot to metion that the car also has some nice coilovers, springs and upper and lower front and rear sway bars that make it handle like its on rails!enough reading check it out!





















So what do you guys think?

Car looks great, the wheels look very sharp.

In addition the stuff listed above, a 99 front lip, 99 tailights, and a jdm mazda nardi steering wheel would really make the car look even nicer .

Isn't that the new coolcharge II. Doesn't it come with a duct welded onto it?

Regarless you have the best intake on the market, it is always a start.

Nice ride!

Wow small world, one of my good friends goes to school at Northwestern and told me about you and your car last week. I think he called you a "douche" or something along those lines lol. Regardless the car looks great, congrats on the purchase. I'm going to be down in the area when my car's finished, sometime around a month or so. Maybe I'll see ya around down there.

I noticed you listed your FD as having stock twins, he was asking me about the M2 twins when we talked because you told him your car had them on it. yes/no?

stock twins m2 intake and ecu maybe i was talking to quick and to a lot of ppl at once. i never talked smack about hondas or any other cars i simply stated that i didnt want to waste my gas racing a slightly modded civic as i get about 8mpg under heavy acceleration and a slightly modded civic or eclipse would be no match for any fd. i wouldnt intentionally insult anyone or their car thats not me.

word thats why I edited my post, too much hersay involved in it.

thanks for clearing up the M2 twins bit, I was going to say if you did have them I would def. like to check them out. Regardless have fun with the car, maybe I'll see you down there

BTW: you should check out the Evo/Sti shootouts this year at Norwalk since your in the area. I'll be there, its June 18th I believe.

ooh silver on red with BBs wheels and tint job.... my dream car too (if I had to pic it'd be a 93 R1 converted to spirit R exterrior in yellow with tan leather seats but I'd drive a pink FD with purple interrior if it was an FD) I hope some day I get one these are beautiful cars.

(any FD owner out there wanna trade an FD for a turbo FC I'm willing in heartbeat)
