Bought an FD!
Hey guys. I'll be joining you all soon ^.^ Just pulled the trigger on a black on black FD, 5 speed from allrotor up in NC. He's building up the motor and will be shipping it down here in the next couple of weeks

Jon (All Rotor) is a great guy to do business with. You will be very pleased with your purchase I'm sure. Out of curiosity, are you married?
And no, I'm not married. Why, are you proposing?

yes she is. She said, and I quote, "Stop wasting your time with that car, cause no matter how much money you spend on it, it will never be what you want. You want a rotary, go buy one. The only condition is no ghetto mods. Spend the money and do it right."
She is F***ING amazing!
and congrats on the FD man. No ghetto mods, do it right or do it twice.

Yeah I don't intend to do any real modding to her, for the time being. I do intend on doing the reliability mods... one of the issues I'm thinking of is the intercooler for the turbos, I read on here that a FMI would be good, but will be blocking air to the radiator, so I'm thinking a top mount would be better. Would just have to get a hood with a hood scoop in it... and a mild one at that, I don't want anything like a subaru's humongi OMGIMAEATAIR scoop.
Beyond that, maybe some aero, and suspension mods for the autocross.
The rotarty is new to me, so I don't wanna screw things up.

Just a stock location upgraded intercooler will be fine. I've had the Pettit CC3 for something like 8 years with zero complaints. Only other setup I would consider is a V-Mount but I don't want to redo the engine bay. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Congrats on the purchase! Just drive it and enjoy it.
