My wife used to have an old subaru and she'd drive the wheels off of it when we were dating so I knew when she drove the FD she'd deliver some huge action and I wasn't disappointed

Women can drive and most importantly if they can't you might want to consider one that can because most of time things are delivered in equal measure

My sister was the one who taught me how to drive stick so not ALL woman are terrible at cars/stick.

And i did go out with a girl who had a TC 5spd. She was like a pro. Never stalled, shifted perfectly. Even on hills i thought we were gonna die. She managed steep hills while talking on the phone and looking sexy.

I miss her..

yepp and its a rhyme. ^^
Its a well known sentence here in germany.

But Io know. Not every woman is a bad driver.
My aunt is the person who really knows best how to start in 1st gear with my twin plate Carbon clutch... even better than me.
I don´t know how she is doing it.

I can't say that I'm surprised, that sucks

I agree with 99 spec front and new wheels too.

Hmmm... I have no problems letting my girlfriend drive either the LHD FD nor the RHD 20B cosmo
In fact, she drives the cosmo to work every day!

The cosmo packs around 380ish, and she loves flooring it if some kid wants to race! The face of boyracers when they see a tiny girl smoke em in a RHD car they have never seen before, is simply..... AWESOME!

haha, the first time i let my ex drive my FB she was the same. i had to yell at her to go over the limit. she would do it in her elantra, but got scared when i hit turns at twice the posted speeds in the 84. but once i made her hit a turn hard and she felt it grip, she stopped getting mad when i talked about "my baby" to anyone who asked about it.

seriously, anyone thinking about teaching a female to drive stick, dont. thats dangerous thinking right there

lol funny thing is my girl had a Miata that she drove the hell out of like she was on LeMans everyday... She said she just wasn't paying attention... and I just looked at her like... yeah, well you know you owe me period the end. As goes the wheels When they are clean they actually compliment the car.

Looking at what the Ins might give me in terms of getting it fixed do if they come out of pocket then ill see if I can get the 99 spec setup. A member offered me a complete front end for 2,000. So if I get some pics and a guarantee I might bite. Opinions?

Well, she probably didn't go over the limit because FBs are so slow they don't have limits, LOL. Just kidding with you man.

So are you still with the girl or did you drop her ***?

You should definitely get a 99 front end. Corksport is a good place to get it just like the other guys said.

+1 ...haha...I had an ex with a 95 FD and an 08 C63 AMG...sure the AMG was tiptronic but...there was nothing sexier than seeing her behind the wheel of either car...ugh...sure some of it had to do with the fact that she makes more in a year than I have to date >_> haha

^ its funny cause females know they cant affect us with words. so they go for the thing that we care about more then them, our 7s. its not fair. really there should be a law against girls and 7s together. unless of course they own one. then its should be law that we drive it everywhere lol

I recommend leaving your car cosmetically the same and using that insurance money to buy a new girl friend. Sounds like she is a mouth breather, or a knuckle dragger to me. I would leave a girl for behavior like that.

Sigh... Yet another one bites the dust.

There are so many stories like this after allowing the lady friend or woman in general drive these cars...

Go 99'!!!!
