hypothetically speaking, say you go to iraq for a while and come back with $13,000. you are single, no bills, no kids and nothing else to really do with it... how would you spend it on the FD?

 

buy the 20b w/ turbo that is for sale in the forums right now

 

spend it wisely and get a 2nd and 3rd motor

 

...oh man, i am not quite that ready for one of them just yet

 

^^ lol Dominic...

Buy the Veilside Fortune body kit (sarcasm)

I would say ported motor, single turbo, and some nice wheels

 

no no the shogun body kit is SWEEETTTTTT

 

i am thinking zeal super functions, advan model t5's, c-west type 2, greddy t78 and mild street port rebuild motor :-/

 

OMG NO!!! that kit screams rice

 

Ls7 swap even tho i would need to throw in some extra money for a brand new LS7 and all parts.

 

iForged wheels =)

 

man, i am not looking to kill my self here. i am not ready for crazy power just yet

 

spend half on the FD..invest the other half (RRSP, segregeted funds, shoebox under the bed).

for the FD half..maybe some BNR stage 3 action?

 

i already have $5000 in stocks, plus i have a military thrift savings plan

 

lol.couldn't hurt 2 save some more man...i wish i did back in the day

but 13G's makes for a WIKID FD...i'm thinkin BNR3's, a whole shabang of reliability mods, and or those RE Amemiya coilovers that ramy is selling in his forum

 

I did just that back in 2003. Deployed to Iraq as a Captain, BN S4. Made some cash, shot at some *******, came home and bought some nice FD stuff. Hardcore motor (none of this mild streetport ***** stuff, lol), rebuilt tranny, new BNR 3s twins, new engine wiring harness, paint job.....

 

what part of iraq where you at? do you know where ballad is... like 20 miles north of baghdad? i was there attached with seal team 1 with the helo squadron. not looking to kill myself now, just make the car a "LITTLE" more fun

BTW, i am trying to drop a package for officer under the pilot program and then merge into astronaut (hopefully put an aerospace engineering degree to good use)

 

Ar Ramadi, Pres. Palace in Baghdad, and Al Asad. Leading combat logistics missions into the heart of a hostile city was definitely an experience, not one I'm in a hurry to repeat. Best of luck with the green to gold !

 

hey, thank you!!!! i am actually transferring to philly/NYC (back home too). i am sure i will see you around at an rx7 meet

 

- Replace every wire in the front of the car.
- Replace every bushing, mount, and check the PPF again, replace that even if it looks mildly suspicious.
- Recover the seats
- CF sunroof panel
- CF hatch, Speedglass in the rear hatch and on the sides
- Rebuild the transmission, lightened flywheel and upgraded full-face clutch/pressure plate
- Plain (or very subtly vented) CF hood
- Paint match all the CF, maybe get a completely new paintjob.
- Save the rest for money that gets eaten up when I start tracking the car (probably buy things like dual oil coolers, SS brake ducts, etc. etc.)

 

Stock rebuild with new housings, new turbos etc. Built with longevity in mind. Complete refinish of body with OEM side skirts, and a set of wheels.
OR
Sell my car, add the 13k to the sale price and go looking for a C5 ZO6.

 

Buy a set of coilovers, rims, rebuild from rotaryresurrection, single turbo.

Try to get as many good deals in the for sale section as you can...

 

id go to the titty bar, but thats just me.

 

I agree. After I get back to Japan after being over here for 6 months, I'm definately going to spend a few bucks at a strip joint in Roppongi

 

hmmmm, 13 grand?

LS1T56 swap
CCWs or RPF1s, 18x10 all around rolling on 285's
Mazdaspeed front bumper
