I'm going to have to agree with slowgxl, that thing looks pretty damned straight.
Reminds me way too much of my first base FC, on 280ZX wheels and a 'vert hood.

Thanks for all the nice comments!!! I had a great time today just practicing, meeting new people and having fun! SO much fun in fact, that I'm now running on one rotor :/ But what do you expect for an original 143k engine revved up like a top
The car performed ALOT better than I expected for an old engine and a questionable clutch haha. May end up starting a NA build thread...
Thanks again,
Andrew
