haha yeah blame the previous owner for that one :p. I didnt like it too much at first but its grown on me. Since I'm getting an FD soon I was wondering if anyone could gimme a list of some good shops in GA (if there are any) for me to take my rotary to. Cause as you may know FD's aren't always "reliable" plan on doing some mods to fix that of course and up the power a lil but I wanna take it to a reliable shop

Best one I know of it the Twisted Sister parking, first Tuesday of each month. All kinds of expert advice and minor repairs happen.

Photos of the FD?

that one in athens is probably a scam. no one in their right mind will sell that cheap. i've seen lots of ads that read the same way.

There have been a few on Atlanta CL just like that with no text and just an image with all of the text in it. I'm assuming that since there isn't any real text and just an image it's easier for them to scam... who knows.

I'm assuming that if I remove some of the parts and reinstall them myself, as well as reuse the original badges, I might be able to put that money saved towards repainting the roof and sunroof. One, because it is slightly faded, and two, I don't want to see the burn line right there every time I get into the car.

Brett be careful how you setup the deal with the body shop. They may just say "We'll do it for the insurance estimate amount." and then you'll get into a fight with them when you do your portion of the work and then want to pay them less.
Ask me how I know.

Will definitely do. The insurance company is sending me the check, though, so hopefully the body shop will go off of my wants and disregard the insurance estimate. I actually learned tonight that there is a reputable body shop here in Dahlonega that my uncle has done some concrete work before for the owner. My cousins have both had their cars fixed and painted there and I've seen them first hand after and the quality has held up well. I'm still debating though. I'm wanting to get the rear quarter, back end, roof, and drivers side door repainted now. I'd really like to put my tax return towards just getting the whole thing repainted, but the current paint is in great shape besides the roof, under the rear hatch area, and drivers door...

We'll see. Thanks for the info, too.

I'm back from Hawaii. I was actually on Kauai, the most northern island. I highly recomend a visit to this place.

We went with 3 other couples. In addition to having a great time on Kauai, we got a bonus. All of our children were back here in GA stuck in a blizzard. It's about time I got one over on the kids. No offense to you OGTAs who had to endure the weather.

I checked the forum while I was there to see if I might find a local rotorhead (don't tell Michelle). Dave, I should have checked with you before I went to Hawaii. I couldn't even find any recent posts from someone in Hawaii. I did see an RX-8 two times, it may have been the same car.

Peter, that guy knows how to teach! Did you see the way he motivates and inspires those students? Very rare talent indeed. I'm taking notes on that dude's techniques.

Mike, got any photos of the coconuts?

Stratos, this would seem to be the perfect occasion to take about $3000 of that cash and go out and buy a really nice FB. Pocket the other $7000 for a nice little profit.

FD's are nice but FB's are way better. Less money to buy, insure and repair = way fewer headaches and way more fun. 12As Rule.

Mike, I won't tell if you don't tell. Let's see the coconuts.

that check is no different than one u'd get from a loan company. go cash it then pay with the cash. and i agree, get an fb and turbo it. lighter weight would make it more fun than an fd.
