Poor College Student Build
 
After going through many FCs... I finally got myself a FD. This will be a slow build.
Pick this up from another member on this forum. Since he lived in Norcal and shipping company didnt really do their job I decided to rent a Truck and U-haul to tow it down myself. I started the drive to SF around 9pm. Got to SF at 3:30am. Got Back to L.A around 11am. Late for work and clocked in at 12pm.

This FD is mainly going to be my weekend/track car.

Wow, that is a heck of a drive to do and then go to work after. I am sure I'd have called in sick. Nice car though, congrats!

Like you, I know how slow a build goes while in college. Do the basic reliability mods and have fun with the car, but get through college so you can make real $ and then mod the car!!

Alex Rodriguez 03-25-12 03:05 PM

Damn I know someone who has a VR red front bumper skin and was throwing it away. I will let you know bro.

Wheels seem a little Need For Speed
