Just a quick how you doing post. I've actually been a member on here for a while but using an old email and dont know my password

Anyway, if you havent noticed yet I live in England. I'm also a Super Moderator on the FD owners club over there, FDUK.

I've owned my FD for over 4 years now. I bought it in need of TLC, £11000 later and it was going well and looking good. After a year I got bored of polishing and started to use it properly, doing track days. Then I found I enjoyed it most when I 'lost the back end' going around corners, so now i'm using it for drifting The engine threw a tip a few weeks ago so its off for a rebuild. At the same time i'm going for a single turbo conversion using a Garret T60. The engine is being built and ported by one of the most respected guys in the business. He is porting it specifically for my turbo and what i'm planning on using it for. Also getting the engine dynamically balanced. Hoping for something special when I get it back

Here is a few pictures:










I've also got another toy that you may like. Its a 1975 Datsun 260c (Cederic) Lowrider:






And then my everyday car. I drive a lot for work and these things weigh next to nothing so returns 42mpg on a run. I also use it for the occasional 'grip' track day.




Chat to you soon

Damn, I love the old school Datsun. Any more pictures of it? Did you build it from ground up or did you buy it like that?

Cheers dude.

As much as I would love to say I built it I didnt I bought it like that. Apparently it is quite famous in the UK as it was one of the first Lowriders over here and was built by Eddie Ratley? I love it
