Tell me about it. Just hope the weather turns warmish so I can get to work on the cars already.

I just hope the combustion engine scene is not completely ruined by the electric revolution.

Hopefully they’ll keep an enthusiast class available for petrol heads like us.
Absolutely nothing wrong with the electric car. I know for a fact I'll have 1 of each. The other fact I know is I'll never get rid of the FD. She's mine until the end. Nothing beats an analogue car...

Hi Chris
I hope you are well.

I don’t think you understood my point. I didn’t say there was anything wrong with the electric car. My concern is the driving of combustion engine cars could be banned in our lifetime.

I have two kids that drive now and neither care about cars as I did and do. They would prefer electric as will most of their generation.

Nobody will prevent you from owning your FD forever but what’s the point if you can’t drive it.

So hopefully enthusiasts will lobby together for at least an enthusiast class of some sort that wouldn’t impact the environment due to low mileage usage or allowance.

But hey what do I know. Sorry to clutter the thread but I did start this one many years ago!!!

I seriously doubt we'll see a ban on ICE vehicles within our life time. While the electric revolution is coming, its still going to take awhile before it becomes so mainstream that it'll be the only means of transportation. We'll be knocking on heavens door before we see anything happen to our vehicles.
Nothing to worry about.. keep on brapping!!

You put together a very beautiful car that I'm very lucky to have the opportunity to own.

I'm glad the other owners after yourself cared for it as well as you seemed to. Unfortunately the car did get stripped of a bunch of parts to make some quick money before I had a chance to buy it. But I've been trying to put it back to the way it was.

Nice to hear you've got the itch for another rotary. Can't stay away forever lol. I know I couldn't.

Plenty warm enough to be working on the car.
I've been tinkering all winter long in the garage.

you are hardcore. I can’t bare the cold weather. Just waiting for the temps to hover in the teens before I attempt to get out in the garage. I’ve got all the parts ready to go. Just need some wrenching time.

I figure the traffic is so low here now I won’t be annoyed by moderation anymore. I’m not good with authority.

Awesome to see this thread revived and some old friends and names back on the forum. Been a long time. I lurk as well still from time to time but don't post much. Glad to see this car back in good hands. I was lucky to have this car around me for a few years while my buddy Dave owned it. We took good care of it. Was sad when he had to sell it, but financially at the time he had to do it. Just made sense. At least it was around for my wedding. Hope to see some of you around this summer season.

Welcome back Charn.
Your more than welcome to have a look at what I did to your FC.
I’ve put a mere 1000 kilometres on it since I purchased it from you. The car is turnkey it just needs a nice tune right now.
I would put it up for sale if the price was right.

Wow Tony, hope you’re well, cant believe you would sell the car. I recall you having some of the best parts anyone could dream of on your car. Once we get off lockdown I’d love to see the final product.

Ceramic coat that baby if you haven’t already!
Buddy at work just did his car and I wasn’t a believer until I saw it for myself. Best paint protection out there.
1500 cars is super low production number, your should fair very well in value in the coming years.
