Wheels seem a little Need For Speed

Go with Apexi EVX over Stance. My brother was just in the same boat and based on the research we did the EVX are a better quality setup.

Wheels are nice but a little 90ish. I say rock em :)

Oh, and this one is for Tom :D

i'll look into the EXV over the weekends. But for right now i've been looking at the stance super sport +. Since the company i work for could get some or little discount from stance. Does anyone have any input on those stance?

[QUOTE=for a poor college student this i going pretty fast..........:icon_tup:[/QUOTE]

HAHHAHA! Its only because i had this motor from before. I wanted to do a REW swap into a fc. But since i saw the FD for sale i couldnt help myself from getting it. And also this block i originally had gotten from a buddy of mine for free because it was a blown block. I got it rebuilt and streetported at a local shop, Garage Life.

So I guess from here is where the slow build starts....

FolsomSam 03-30-12 12:00 AM

Following this build closely, as this is what I hope to do in a few years!! I love what you are doing so far!!

Kiku 03-30-12 12:55 AM

i was about to say...this isn't a poor college build with that motor xD but damn thats sexy haha

Ride_drz 03-30-12 03:08 AM

I love it! that motor is killer looking!

Did you tune that Godspeed turbo yet? My friend runs one of their 20G's but I'm opting for the PT67.

dannng 05-02-12 12:33 AM

Sorry I haven't been updating. Recently I bought some used parts.
Cusco Comp-s Coilover
Act 6-puck clutch.

congrats in your find.
same thing i did , moved from FC's to FD's
dont be disapointed if your build takes double than estimated completion time.
FC parts are less expensive and easy to find but with FD's is a different world.
at the end will be worth it.

dannng 08-06-12 12:38 AM

Sorry haven't had time lately to post up an update. Been collecting a few parts here and there. Bought a nice set of rims and misc parts from fellow members on this forum. Now I have a car trunk full a parts I need to install to get it running for 7stock.

Well hurry up!! you've got a little under 2 months!!

dannng 08-06-12 07:06 PM

@ mannykiller. Trying to do as much as i can before dropping it off at the shop it finish up everything else for me. BTW nice build thread, I try to keep up to learn as much as I can from it. Hopefully your car is get finished for 7stock as well!

funnyscreenname 08-06-12 07:38 PM

may i ask how much you bought the car for?

i'm looking into buying a 93 and it's going to need some engine work. the asking price is $5k. the body looks good and the engine only has 100k on it. really would like to know about how much these cars usually go for as a shell or not running.

I bought this rolling chassis for 2k. But a buddy of mine gave me a blown motor for free. I got it rebuilt and port about 1k. I haven't really kept count of how much i spent so far but I'm sure its around 3-4k on parts.

Just make sure you know what you're getting yourself into. Because a FD is like a super hot GOLDIGGIN' girlfriend.

mannykiller 08-07-12 12:06 AM

Double quoted on that one, spent 5k in a month on single turbo conversion.
