New FD Project
Just picked up another 1993 Vintage Red FD3S 
It is currently a rolling shell which was parted out by the previous owner after tweaking the frame slightly in a ditch. So here are some pictures of the car from last week...
The car is now at my friend Anthony's body shop, Select Automotive, getting the car straightened out. Him and his Dad do EXCELLENT work!
Thanks,
Andrew

Since Cosmo intake manifolds are getting harder to find and pricey, does anyone know if the REW manifolds bolt up. I guess I will just port them as far as they will go :/

The shop I have the car at getting straightened out just lost there good body guy :/ So work on my car is going slow.
BUT, I did buy some Nagisa seat rails in the mean time
Still debating on sourcing Cosmo manifolds or not...I REALLY want to keep the Cosmo look + torque!

A couple JDM boxes showed up this week
Got some Nagisa Super Low seat rails and some JDM intake manifolds. Couldn't find any Cosmo manifolds for the right price, so I'm just going to port match these.
The JDM lower intake manifold has a "little" better flow, since it does not have the EGR on the runners as well as having less of a "dent" on the rear intake runner.
Mine...
USDM/XS Manifolds...

^NOW you ask me
I'd like a set of 13B-RE intake manifolds. I have yet to find any in decent condition for a decent price though :/
LMK!
