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.

Just to let you know. Powervehicles has opened up a lodge about 5 minutes from the track.

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.

I have a 400hp FD that I am putting some finishing touches to before selling, a BH5 Twin turbo Legacy (pic below), and a Honda Fit daily.
FD sneak peak, still have some things to do now that it is back from paint.

Legacy: looking to sell it for 200,000jpy still has a full year of shaken

^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.
