So, my 1st gen sold and this is what I replaced it with.

Came across a deal I couldn't pass up. My best friend offered me his car at a too good to be true price and I jumped right on it.

It runs and drives so nice, so much better than my old tin can.

Steve Kan tuned, 501whp

T04R
3mm seals
Pinned
Ceramic Coated Rotors

Volks LE37K
Coilover Suspension
New Transmission

Bumps in the bins

Custom White/Blue Pear Paint Job

Ahhhh, too much to list; this thing has it all

U already sold your first gen? Did you even get to run down the 1/4 mile? Congrats on the new ride, but you spent alot of work and effort on the first gen and it looked good. Why the sell?

Yeah, I jumped on this quick. Totally unexpected; just last week I was bidding on a BMW. Like I told you, I thought I was completely out of the game. But, I guess not anymore!

Let me know when the transport is coming to pick up your new 1st gen

Yes, it's sold. I'm just waiting for the carrier to pick it up. I originally wanted to sell it because "The scene wasn't there anymore". I honestly think it had more to do with dumping thousands of dollars into a car that I couldn't enjoy everyday. I began this journey thinking that I could have the best of both worlds (A drag/street car), I was wrong.

Then, I came upon a deal that I couldn't pass up.

The car came with a set of stockers with ET Streets mounted up. Hmmm

Skids, I dunno.

Something fun that my old FD would never do. When I roll into the throttle in 1st, 2nd and a little 3rd. When it gets into boost, the assend kicks out sideways. Kinda fun, but like I said; this is all new to me. My old FD never did the fun stuff.
