right now im ripping the motor completely apart lol i got it mostly apart, just gotta get a few odds and ends off the block so i can take it out. rebuild it here in the next few months. im thinking about a small street port but we'll see about that.. my plan as of now is really just to get it going . needs a little more than i had originally thought but im up for it. the end goal is 250hp and go to auto x school in bremerton. would like to make this my DD instead of my corolla haha.

I love having my FD as a DD its a lot of fun. but I'm ready to break the FD down to the frame so I've been looking for a MX6 M-Edition to be my DD while i work on the FD. Once the FD is back on its wheel's then the MX6 becomes the project car.

the mx6 is a lot of fun to drive. i drive them quite a bit at work and i've got to say it was impressive. it exceeded my expectations. what do you have planned for your FD?
