PICTURES: Some of my fd

Well finally had time to hang around today, so i took some pix of the 7.

In the pix, you will get a chance to see just how sexy our FD's look from the behind. I think its one of the best parts about the car which is good cause thats all anyone will ever be seein. haha.

Youll also see my garage, not bad for an 18 yr old on his own.
and my RC car shell. made to look as close as possible to its bigger self. haha

so check out the car and let me know what u guys think?

I will be getting the RE cf diffuser pro, and prob c-west or bomex sides soon in the next month.

They look like HRE 545's.

The car itself is beautiful. Mad props. As for the paint... I thought it was primer... maybe it could use a little depth?

Are those 275s or 285s out back? Also, what size are you running up front, and do you experience any rubbing issues? I ask because I am looking into Cyphers for my 7.

haha no no no

I dont own the house. rent it out for $1700/month. Its a 4-bedroom in orange county, the reason its cheap is cause theres a traintrack real near by. and i have 3 roomates

my dad refuses to pay for anything other then my gym pass. which is $19/month.

those tires look wide but im running 265s on the back. Its weird cause they look really wide when compared to my friends cobra and my other friends supra which run 275 and 285. I think its cause the rear on the FD isnt as fat.

Thats just 40+ hours a week at work and over 2 years for it to look like that.

It sux tho cause the motor went out at 135,000. and so it took me about 7 months to rebuild it. so that whole time i didnt do anything with the car and it just kinda sat.

thats cool none takin. it is affordable when you have roomates and pay 420 a month.

One of the nicest things about my garage is...the door to the garage runs straight to my room! so all i have to do is open one door and i see my fd right there. It sleeps closer to me then most people do to their kids haha.

You need to lower that baby. But becareful you might have to roll your front fenders. Your rears should be fine. I run 265 on the rear and 225 on the front.
