Update -
This week I ordered silicone radiator hoses because I am tired of the marshmallow oem hoses that are prone to break.
-BoSS hub adapter kit is in .....decided swapping to a FD steering wheel was not in best interest because I want the functioning horn. There's a way around it but I am sold for a early 90s Nardi 330mm my buddy Jesse got me in Japan . Just waiting for that to arrive.

-scored a brand new in the box duckbill sport wing!!!!! Yes new.
-I also lowers the car on springs just for looks an daily use no need for coilover on a daily.

Beautiful vehicle man! I'm incredibly jealous of how clean the engine bay is. The mods are tasteful and true to a car of this caliber. Keep it up!

Car looks great, couple of questions for ya. First, what springs did you end up going with? I know you mentioned racing beats a little earlier in the thread. Also, was the engine, and in particular the intake manifold that clean already or did you have it blasted or painted? Very clean car man, super jelly.

What a clean score Alex! She is a beautiful FC. Once I get a bigger garage in the near future I too want to find a N/A FC and restore it. I miss the pur of the rotary ..... I need another FC with a little more tame manners.

Looks like you are having a blast with your new toy! What did your FD ever put down for power? BTW the FD looks vicious!!
