Well this will be quite funny for you martain. On friday i was challeneged by a turbo gsr swap? civic for some money. He would not pop the hood but he had the biggest ricer intercooler ever, why i say ricer because KNEW that the turbo backing it up did not need the worlds biggest intercoooler. Im sure he was pressure dropping and loosing power. Anyhow ill post the video later tonight

I see FC's running there all the time though and they do well enough considering their mods.

http://highrevcustoms.com/phpbb2/vie...874bca28b43987 Here on my car club, you'll see a guy with a V8 FD won his local autox competition, beating out a C6 Z06 to do it.
You'll also notice that the top 3 cars were FDs.

If that's how well FD's are doing in your area that's great, but that doesn't change the fact that I haven't seen any do good.
EDIT: I just read the link you gave me and he says he's only showing the RX7 times and the ZO6, so where do you get that RX7's took the top 3 places? I'm seeing that 3 RX7's did better than a new ZO6.

No reason to be all touchy, I'm just putting the info out there so you can stop thinking that the FD is strictly a 1/4 mile car.
