FL '89 Turbo II Pearl White Street Build

Hello, I've been building this car for a while now and thought I'd start a progress / build thread about it.

My car is an 89' Turbo II. I've had the car for around a year now with the intentions to build an aggressive Japanese style street car. Unfortunately I have done a lot of stuff to this car that I haven't recorded or taken pictures of. So I will do my best to keep up with it.

Thanks for looking!
-Alex

If you have any questions feel free to ask



Pictures from when I first bought the car -

*Car was super dirty, it rode on a car hauler for a week.


*After I washed and cleaned it for 3 hrs.


*Also spent a bunch of time cleaning under the hood and fixing up some loose ends.


*Found a decent deal on VRWheels for a set of Work VS-SS wheels.


*Then finally received my Stance Super Sport coilover that I waited on for 3 months.


*Took a full day to install and fit everything.


*Found a set of JDM fog lights for a good deal and couldn't resist.


*Bought a very quality LED tail light kit from AZRX7


*Had a bit of luck and found a damaged RE-Amemiya Type II wing for sale. (Re-Did)

Update:
RIP to my carbon fiber lip. Just got ripped off.
Secondary injectors also are pretty much dead.
At least I have new speakers -_-

Replaced my old junky looking door lights with new bright white LED lights today. They are way brighter than the photo could capture.

The car looks super clean. How many miles does it have?

Those old TII wheels looked to be in fantastic shape. Did you save them?

Also, you're not far away from me. I live up in Ruskin.

Thank you!
Car has 85k miles. I still have the turbo II wheels and they have also been refinished.
And sweet! I've been up there for cars and beaches.

Damn.... I sold my FC, thinking that once I graduate from SIU, I will just pick up an FD because I've always thought that's what I really want.... This TII is making me reconsider. =) Sweet ride!
