I bought my CYM back this wknd. Drove it 1150 miles home and it is just as nice as i remember it. Tight , solid, smooth. Thank you Simon for taking such good care of it.

That's awesome Jeff! I still can't believe you ever sold it in the first place after all that hard work that you put into it.

Congrats!! Its interesting how many have to come back to an FD after selling their car.

I can't believe its been 6 years. How many miles did the guy put on it?

He only put 7k miles on it including the 1,000 mile drive home. The car is essentially perfect. He added some Defi gauges, Innovate wideband and a PFC which I think I need to tune but it runs awesome and idles absolutely perfectly.

I just need to get some stock wheels and R-compound tires so I can auto-x it again.

Good deal Jeff! I'm sure that's a great feeling to be back with that sweetheart!

I guess the only downside is it needs nothing, just GO!
