Talking New FD victim from UK

Hi Guys,
I am James, I live in Huddersfield in the UK. I am an Aerodynamics Engineer for Cummins Turbo Technologies (and a massive petrolhead!!!)
I have always wanted an FD but never had the guts to take the plunge and buy a rotary.

Always flitted between Starlet turbos and Evo (with a Skyline, and S14 thrown in along the way

However I saw a very nice FD in work and hounded the owner for a year and today we struck up a deal and I own my first rotary


Some examples of my previous money pits:

Now onto the rotary....
Its a 95 Import with approx 60k miles on the clock (no engine as yet so I am already budgeted and prepared for a refresh)
It has:
Radtec V mount setup
Power FC
1600cc (ish) secondary injectors
Aeromotive fpr
HKS super dragger
Tein coilovers
AVS model 6 wheels
Sanai Works bodykit

So I would say its a good base to start with, I just need to decide on whether I want a later spec rear wing, or GT wing

Nice car. My intercooler is vertical, not flat. Your engine bay picture reminds me of how much space there is in there!

Does your number plate have to be mounted like that? Looks massive that way.
