Thanks man.

It's an interesting black; it's like a root beer black, lol.

But I'm going to paint it white soon

Haha, I too came from hondas and still own a bugeye. Just got myself a FD that needs some work. How does it feel driving all 3 platforms? AWD vs RWD?

FD3SEJ 07-23-12 04:05 PM

I also went from fwd to awd to rwd. Except I started with a Nissan 200sx, then two wrxs and now I have an fd rx7. With a couple 4wd jeeps too haha

Very clean car! Could use a little lower! :)

pandaboy50 07-28-12 11:31 PM

I went from FWD to RWD x 4 lol I swore that every car I owned would be RWD

PUNISHER TA 07-29-12 02:31 AM

Nice looking car!

ganglyy 07-29-12 03:31 AM

that is one beautiful car...

dohtem8 07-29-12 08:47 AM

Thanks for the comments guys! I'll post a new picture of the car with the FEED Side Skirts later.

As for the lowering, I'm still unsure about that, haha. I plan on buying another set of wheels even all around because these ones are staggered. I'm going for a track set up. The stance on the car is fine with me though. I don't plan on going any lower.

I'd like to upgrade my coilovers as well, haha.

Nice car. I too went from FWD > AWD > RWD. 97 Eclipse gst converted to AWD and now soon to be 93 Rx7 owner. Pretty stoked. Not sure why my intro thread didn't get posted but oh well.

dohtem8 07-30-12 01:36 PM

Nice!

Was it a hassled to convert your GST to AWD?

And yea, the admins have to approve a thread before it actually gets posted.

dohtem8 07-30-12 01:39 PM

hassle*

It wasn't too bad actually...it was just labor intensive. The 5 spd swap was the part that kicked my ass. Clutchs are so touchy. The whole process took 9 14 hour days to complete. Time isn't an issue when it comes to passion. Definitely overcame a ton of hurdles along the way.

The car I am getting is an Auto....the 5spd deal fell through since the guy wouldn't come down on the price even though I had proof that the odometer was rolled back....what an idiot. I hear the 5 spd swap is pretty easy on these cars so theres that.

Hows RWD feel in relation to AWD?
