HKP: If they have a br stamped on them then they are most likely black racing.

FDmuri: anything you are after feel free to let me know. I still will be here for about a year. The plan is to move back in Feb. of 2013 at this point.

Redrotar23: Ebisu has 5 or 6 different courses. Some are pretty slow and some are definately fast. You should definitely try to make a trip out there sometime.

Well all good things must end and this weekend is going to be my last outing in my drift FC. I will spend the day drifting it at Ebisu and then bring it home to be torn apart and sold off piece by piece... or if I find a decent shell in the next week or so I may swap it all over and sell it as a complete car. Anyhow I will update this thread with pics of the destruction after this weekend.

Do you have any cars you are planning on getting rid of? Ones that aren't crunched up, that is. You are mainland, right?

I will be around till at least August, if not longer.

the white one can be for sale as well, it has panspeed front fenders, mazdaspeed white leather sets, and MS01 wheels. Not much done to the engine.

^only care about differential, wheels, suspension, gauges, cooling mods... although having a Power FC (or at least a limit cut, etc) and a few basic mods such as exhaust, intake, boost controller, etc would be great. Basically something that can hit the track as is. Well, ehaust is pretty much a given... Leather seats isn't really a plus for me.

The rear bumper is a little hmmm though. Is it removable?

Either way it's probably out of my range.

I am in no hurry to sell that one. It will either stay here for me to work on some other time as a project car or cut up and put in a container. I get a decent offer on it I will sell it.

If you are looking for a cheapo FD that can do some track time let me know a budget and I can see what is available for you at your budget. You can lowball your budget and I will just tell you what I come across that is within your range.

Go ahead and PM me so we dont turn this into a classified thread.
