Talking Hello from TN

Hi everyone. I bought my girl an FC3S for Christmas, and I was told to come over here and sign up. The car is an 1989 S5 non turbo FC3S convertible. It has 130k on the body, and 10k on a fresh rebuild. Runs like a champ, and she loves it to death. I myself am in the market for a FD3S roller to build my own. After driving hers home from FL I fell in love with it.

My current daily is one of 700 or so White Chevy C1500 454SS trucks made, Horrible gas mileage but she will pull a house off its foundation.

Here are some pics of hers, I will get some better ones in a day or two all it looks like now is a red car covered in snow haha. *note* I am not a fan of the body kit, or exhaust, but she is in love with it how it is.

The body kit is not terrible.

That exhaust is definitely civilized.
The rotary is very raspy in its sound. It flows a lot more air than you'd believe based on its 1.3L displacement.

You get big 2.5-3" pipes and some presilencers and it'll have a nice deep throaty sound... It'll also wake the neighbors up when you floor it.

It currently has a "custom" cat-less 2.5" exhaust, full header back. Its going to be going back to stock for a few weeks to pass emissions, then I am going to look for a RB exhaust for her. Next winter, she is having me swap a TII motor into it, so it should be even more fun. Oh, and the current exhaust is LOUD!! It does wake up the neighbors, but it sounds beautiful at 8k+ rpm, I just hate the tips sticking out 3" from the bumper.
