Another member name Jason with a FD.
This seem like the common theme lol. Anyways, here is some history about me and my FD. I started out with a FC Turbo II back in 04 and sold it back in 2010 (Still regretting it). Went on a 4 year haitus on rotary, going thru a bunch of different cars, and finally back on the rotary game. Finally achieving one of my many life goals. I purchased my 93 touring FD back last June (2014). Here are some info on the car when I purchased it back last June. 93 Touring FD 53k original miles (rebuilt motor at 44k miles) Mods: Hi-Tech dual tip Cat back exhaust Apexi T-Maxx shocks RB sway bar AST delete Slotted rotors And god awful rota wheels @_@ _______________________________________________ Update 2017 -3/17 Stock Twins setup tuned 11psi 280rwhp -2 weeks later beached my car on my drive way and ended up cracking the turbine housing -Finally decided its time to go single and stop jimmy jacking around. -Part out begins -S362SXE coming soon... _______________________________________________ Attachment 625160 Attachment 625161 The first thing I did was the basic maintenance: Oil change, plugs, wires, accessory belts, fpd fuel filter, trans and diff fluid. Attachment 625162 This is how my plugs looked Attachment 625163 Magnecore Spark wires Attachment 625164 Neo Trans and diff fluid Attachment 625165 My attempt on the replacing the FPD. My attempts were futile and end it up having a shop to do it. (Got the FPD, Injectors, and OMP line replace in April of 2015) After a month driving around on the rotas with stretched tires, I decided to get new tires for my chrome stock FD wheels that was suppose to go on my FC. (215 on 17x9 = no bueno! Not about that stance life) Attachment 625166 Dunlops DZ102 Also picked up an R1 lips from a close friend of mine Attachment 625167 Around August I picked up R1 strut bar.

That hose came with the fuel pump and it was initially attached to the fuel strainer to the pump. (I had to purchase an OE style strainer, the R33 style strainer will not work). :icon_tup: |
What a good looking silver FD! Great build!
