There's a bunch of us, but it's mostly the FC guys that mess around with their cars.
The FD guys don't usually work on their cars, and they are the ones usually looking for people / shops to work on theirs.
I don't touch FD's myself - they are too much of a pain in the ***.

Man, I wish I was back in HI. I stayed on the Big Island for two or so years slaving on an Anthirium (spelling?) farm. I got to surf over on teh windward side (by Hilo).... I miss the beautiful locale and tan skinned local girls and fun waves Dunno how many FD owners/shops are out on Oahu though.

thanks guys.... this will definately help if I decide to spend the $$$ to ship one. ANyways, I've only had an FD before, but I enjoyed doing what work I could myself.... for example, thjough I hated it, I installed my downpipe... but there is definitely a level I can't do...

anyways, back on Oahu in 7 days or so.

I know a few FD people who works on their cars. We just did 2 motor rebuilds on two fellow FDs recently.

Im from Kauai but will be in Oahu for part of the summer.

And that comment about FD owners not working on thier cars? Pssh I own an FD ( 1 of 2 on the island) and *have* to work on my own car because no one here even knows what a rotary is. :P
