Everyone has their opinion. I've had 3 FD's and have been around longer than most. Take it for what its worth. If you want your car to stay togeather, don't go to KDR.

What does "stay together mean"? Its okay though, bro like you said eveyone has there own opinions. I just prefer to work on my own car!

san diego is cool and all to visit, not to live. there are 12 miltary bases in socal so the guy to girl ratio is insane, like 4 guys to every girl. you really have to go to LA to get away from everything... if you have the money for that and the time. 4 years was enough for me

I beleive that JR's Auto is Joe Perez out of Philly, and they are no joke they have a Toyota Starlet called party time big HP. And another Datsun 1200 Guinsito that is a low 8 sec car. Great builders and tuners.
