I like driving a stock-ish FD, its a different animal for sure. I have NEVER said it out loud that i wanted to convert back from single turbo to twins, but i have thought about it...

DJSeven raves about the EFRs and says it is what an FD should feel like, i might go that route one day.

^ yea I rode in his car that had the 8374 and will probably ride in his CW with 7670 when he gets it up and going.

I used to love the way a single turbo looks with a v mount and don't get me wrong it's still cool looking but I now appreciate a stock looking engine bay.

Got a 99 wing in the mail today and will be visiting the body shop soon to discuss paint.



The plans is to get the body shop to paint and install
- Feed fenders
- 99 front
- Repaint and install 99 wing

Hoping to have all this done by the end of March.

Lookin good. Can’t wait to see her after paint.
You drive to the golf course solo I’m assuming? No where else to put the clubs but the passenger seat.

Looking good inside and out! The grey stitching interior really match well with the CW, now you need a silver stitching steering wheel to go with it

Going for the de-badge look? The rear bumper look a little empty without badges.

It's actually blue stitching and thinking about putting an update Nardi wheel that I got from you.

Now if I can just get my CYM to look and idle as good as this one.

Ahh, hard to tell on my phone, but I can kind of see the blue now on my PC. This is a PEP with cruise? Let me know if you want to get the PnP cruise switch to retain the cruise function

Can they make covers "out the door" or do they have to build them on your seats?

Also, car looks great. I feel like the fenders are a bit out of place, but I'm conservative like that.

I'm pretty sure he can make them out the door since he now has a template of a fd seat.
