New owner of one old FD
Hi guys, I'd like to introduce you my latest acquisition, which is '92 JDM-spec FD. I brought the car two months ago from UK. It's a quite DYI car, because it has probably million little quirks to solve, but as a whole, it runs great and pulls hard. Documents are getting finally solved in the UK, so I can finally enjoy her on public roads.
Here are couple pictures of her
Yes, I know, the front bumper color doesn't exactly match the rest of the car
Not usual to see 25 years old car being towed behind a 20 years old car across the Europe.

Welcome to the club and it looks like a lovely blue colour, more modern than the colours available in 1992 perhaps? Looks like the front and rear fenders are wider than stock as well.
What are your plans with the car? Keep it as it is after fixing any issues that pop up?

Yeah, the car has been painted by the previous owner. I really love the color. It's way cooler, than that dull red every other FD here has. Unfortunatelly, it's some sort of garage paint job, so it looks great from distance, but it's not that great when you come closer. Therefore I'm not mad about the front bumper (which didn't came with the car) which has slightly different color than the rest of the car.
I'm not sure about the fenders. I can compare them to friend's super clean stock FD with zero mods.
I'm planning to keep her as stock as possible except the powertrain. The engine should be street ported according to previous owner and has Knight Sports ECU, so I guess it has couple more horses than stock. The engine compartment looks completely stock on the other hand. There are couple HKS bits and pieces, but they are on the same spots as original parts.
As I mentioned, she has many little quirks. There are tons of snapped bolts around the car, however they are not on any dangerous spots, so I'm going to address them one by one soon, as well as the oil change and thorough inspection from the bottom.
