AR I am a sellout

Seriously, who likes the FC's? I didn't, until i rode in a friends 7.
Personally i drive a turbo 1.8T VW, N/A 7's are slow compared to it.
But the potential of the 7's, the RWD, and the asthetics grew on me like i
never would have thought.

So the 10th I'm picking up my 91 N/A 7 Fc...

Yep, I'm a sell out.

Sad thing is, this 7 needs some TLC. Money that WAS going to the VW is now going to the 7... I feel i betrayed my VW, but hey... RWD!!!

yup
especially when you have a good engine and a bad chassis and then you find a nice chassis and then you wana drop yours in it and then you find one mint and want to drop these two and pick that up and then you do and find out yours was better and then you dont want it and start all over again

or you do the same from b to the c to the d and then you miss your b lol lol

enjoy

I'd gladly take a 4 rotor rex...hahahaa

Honestly I don't really like how the ls1 soudns so much, I love the buzz of a 16v 4cyl or rotary...

My 90 jetta with a 2L 16v with goodies sounded like an angry chainsaw, I loved it..hahah

Car is showing up today, super excited.

ha, my friend has a 455 buick built for drag racing. after taking him for a ride in my FD he got out of the car shaking and said "that car is scary fast! I couldn't even pull my head off the seat." when i asked him if it was faster than his buick, he said most definitely lol. big blocks are torque monsters, but a well built 13b can take one, much less a 3 rotor 20b. see attached picture for a veiw of what a well built 13b can do with just 79 cubic inches

Don't consider yourself a sellout, your just being more open minded with other cars.

the 93 was the r1. ours are the easiest to identify cause the 93 was the r1 and was the only year they came stock with two oil coolers in the front, on either side of the radiator. you have the 13b-rew with twin sequential turbos. any mods done to it yet?
