Who needs a DD??

Hey everyone, This is my FC build.

I'm taking my once useful daily driven FC and turning it into some sort of ridiculously impractical bastard of a car. It's a 91 Turbo with a bit of work done to it but soon to be a lot more.

Existing mods:

Zeal coilovers
Racing Beat sway bars
3" Exhaust
R-Magic ECU
SS brake lines
etc etc

I won't get into all the boring details because I'm sure you'll see them at one point or another through this build. The plans is to turn it into a track worthy car. Fun for track days, occasional weekend blasts up the S2S and maybe even try my hand at drifting if I feel like it. Who knows, I just want a car that is solid, reliable and a little bit retarded.

Plans so far:

Streetport & pinned motor
Upgraded turbo
ECU
6 point cage
Lucky-10 full suspension kit
and other supporting mods

Through this forum and our wonderful friend Instagram I'm going to try and chronicle the journey of building this car as well as the fun I'm going to have with it. Feel free to follow me on Instagram for more updates. Anyways, onto the pictures.

Picked up an FD manifold setup to run as well once the motor is back. Will be painting it soon.



Thanks for reading and I hope to be bringing more updates soon.

Thanks, I'm still early in the learning process when it comes to photography but it's fun to learn new things. The rims in the first pic are XXR 530s.
