Took the FD up the parkway...
 

Well, the weather today was amazing and after my family's giant brunswick stew party last night, the perfect thing to do today was to go for a nice long drive. So I got in the car, gased it up and headed towards the parkway. The road is a lot of fun to drive and there are some great overlook areas. I went on a good long stretch of road here in Bedford County, VA up in the Blue Ridge mountains. It is basically the Peaks of Otter, for any of you out there who are familiar with the area. I snapped a few pictures and thought some of you all might like to check them out. I only bought this car a few weeks ago. I have had my FC for a right good while now, and it has been designated the "track" car, so the FD is the "fair-weather car", or what have you.

I enjoyed reading another thread about a nice trip in the 7, so I figured I would share mine as well. My digital camera is nothing special, its only 2.0 megapixels, but it gets the job done.

Enjoy

niced scenic shots

car looks really clean also

What rims are those, I'm looking at a set of AZA ZR-1's that look similar to those. Nice car. Jack

^^ The rims are 5zigen's, they are listed as being called "typhoon"

17x8 in the front
17 x 9 in the rear

Very nice. I live in Durham, NC and love taking trips up to the parkway out by Boone. Went to college at ASU for a couple of years and loved every minute of it. I was just up there this weekend, too. You're lucky to live so close. Beautiful up there.

I was wondering what kind of front lip you have on there? It looks really good, but i dont recall ever seeing it before. I just got the R1 lip and it looks really nice, but that one really appeals to me.

Thanks for the pics!

Isn't that the Racing Beat front lip? Nice ride by the way.

Do you recall the offset fron and rear ? ? ?

Thanks for the replies guys-

the front air dam is from Wings West

Thanks for the wheel info. Where about in VA. is Forest ? ? ? Ilived in Culpeper for a few years and really enjoyed the trips up into the Shenendohah, usually went up to Sperryville to ride around and such, beautiful this time of year. Jack

sweet looking FD. your sig says 'stock'.....she don't look stock to me, lol :)

Forest is a little west of Lynchburg.

Jake man, you have to get your FD down here for a cruise before winter kicks in full gear. It already snowed today. :(

Hah, I suppose youre right, its stock as far as the engine goes, save for a few reliability things. However, there are some unstock aesthetic pieces on the car.

Thanks for all the great comments everyone,....


Matt, you are right I do need to get down to good ole Blacksburg......Im gonna come up the weekend of the miami game, hopefull it wont be too bad that weekend and ill bring her on up. I did hear it snowed there, haha!!
