drove an FD for the first time today!

Well, today Jenkins and I finally figured it out and got his FD running. (After uninstalling and reinstalling the spark plugs... ohhh 5 times haha)

All I have to say is WOW. Wow, a working sequential turbo system is pretty intense. I'm having second thoughts going full t04e single turbo on my 13b-re. I am thinking that maybe I should just stick with the stock REW twins! Anyways, thanks Jenkins, was definitely worth the time to get her running. (even if it was an automatic running stock boost!)

BTW, were you able to start it again after we did?

Yeah, I don't know what it was, but I have been thinking about it all day. haha I really like the interior of the FD also, I think that my girlfriend would actually enjoy being inside an FD, compared to the FC. I think, that if I was able to sell all my 7s, keep my 13b-re engine, e11v2, and buy an engineless FD, I would.

Twins are fun. I run non-seq and my buddy runs seq. I'm always surprised by seq.! Fun stuff!

Uhhhh, yeah. it idled for an hour or so and then died. Restarted and ran smooth for a couple of seconds and then started cutting out. I think that the hesitation and stumbling that we experienced was due to a low gas situation (the gauge really does work!!). I guess I'll run out and get 10 and fill the tank.
Maybe I should work at getting the title now! You should talk to chris, I think there is an fd in Yakima complete for around $8K. And it is not an automatic.

I looked on ebay for an FD sold within 100 miles of Yakima, and there were none. Maybe there is hope?

Well, darn he sold it for 15k. I bet he is glad he didnt sell it to someone here. Looks like I will just have to stick with the FC, and have a semi sleeper with the 13b-RE. Too bad, I still think the FD crank trigger, interior, body, and suspension are far superior to the FC. :\

Maybe after college I will have enough FCs to be able to trade up to an FD.
