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

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..........[/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....

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

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.

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.

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