My Cars Build Thread: Project Roxy
hey guys
well its been about 3 years that i've had my FD now
first the reason why i bought this car is because when i saw it for the first time, 1995 on south beach, i fell in love with the car
take your pick...the lines, the big tach in the center of dash, the pop up lights, etc... they all started a life long relationship with this car, then when i got my license, the hunt started
i found my car on, go figure, miami beach in november of 2008 and heres what she looked like, it was the cleanest one i've ever seen
bone stock besides the wheels and an aluminum AST
67k miles (body and motor) original grand touring SSM with black interior and glass sunroof

-wheels
-99 spec lip
-more low!
working with a 3 piece wheel company the first thing for me was take care of the 2 things left on that list to make the car look perfect
so first things first...got me a 99 spec lip and some Racing Beat lowering springs (definitely the best lowering springs for the car)
then she looked like this

the one that we all know is coming but none of us want to believe is coming
yup...roxy needed a rebuild...water seal went bad
and the best part was it blew on the way to a Mazda meet out here in So.Fla
so my reaction was documented...

i get to take out those shoddy stock twins
butttt i love having twins so i figured the only proper thing for me to do is to go with a full twin turbo upgrade

Twin Greddy TD05h-18g
Twin Greddy/Tial Wastegates

This is a more ideal design plenum for forced induction
