do you mean its not cool anymore? i was gonna rock them on my benz

 

The fucked up part is I know a guy that actually tried to that^, R32 tails on an FC Tii. But I think he's a bitch, because his car is an 87, but he did everything he could to the exterior to make it look like an S5 and now he tells people he has an 89. But his first car was a Kragen rattle can orange Integra LS auto, so I guess we know where he gets it from.

 

You know, as much as I respect Hondas, I know you can't make a Civic or Integra as fast as an RX-7. Pound for pound, HP for HP the better design chassis will always win. Sometimes you have to be an ******* just to get the point across. If my car was built correctly and some one who hack jobbed a 240sx together asked me if I drift, I would be pissed. Theres no way the two can compare, yet there are hordes of trend hopping idiots who think half-assed is the only way to be. Just got HIN, you'll see what I mean.

So to all the drifters on the forum

I'M STILL FASTER THAN YOU AND MY CAR LOOKS BETTER BECUASE IT DOESN'T KISS WALLS!

 

Me and Dave were talking about an Idea for one of the next upcoming meets. Theres a Park right on redwood Road. So some combination of having a cruise and BBQ and groups of people could go for some spirited drives during the bbq as they wished because the Park is a turn off at the halfway point on the road.

Just a rough idea throwing that out right now.

 

Can anyone please let me barrow there cats and exhuast system so i can pass smog ? PLZ!! for a 91 FC !!

 

which one is that? mmm and this is in the O town ?

 

yea Redwood Road in oakland/Castrovalley. you know connects with skyline and pineshurst

 

there's a 240 meet at redwood next Saturday. My friend invited me so I'm probably heading there then.

Just tell me when you guys wanna go, I live really close :P

 

Hey guys my friend and I are looking for a project car and we'd like that car to be an FC.

I've been looking online for the past week and nothing worth buying has shown up so far.. I didn't and still don't think it will be easy to find one so we might end up going with another car.

Main things were looking for is that it be a Manuel, Non Convertible, and a 89-91 model.
It can be a roller but the body needs to be in good shape and and it needs to have a clean record.
We don't care so much about the interior as much because were thinking we'd gut it out.

Can you guys let me know if you see a good candidate pop up?

Thanks in advance!

 

Well guess what guys.. It just might be fate.

Today I seemed to be in the right place at the right time.
I took the FD up about 2hrs from my house for some job training and after the day was done I went to go get some gas. So I took a detour to find a station... And whata ya know, a Red FC was parked right out in front with a For Sale sign on it!

I talked to the owner a bit and just got a bit of info from him:
1991, N/A, Red, 5spd, 109k orig mi , and from what I could see completely stock. The asking price is $2,800. He says the car has a clean title.. I wrote down the VIN so we'll see.
Body is in decent shape; from what I could see it would just need a new front and rear bumper as they looked like they got bumped on the sides but not too bad. The new owner was telling me the original owner had put too wide of wheels on the car and it rubs. So I'd need to get new wheels and tires aswell (the ones on there look like **** anyways lol)

I told the guy I'd want my mechanic (ricks rotary) to look at it before I buy. That place is around 1 to 1.5hrs from him and he said if I was serious it would be no problem.. Which is a good sign. He doesn't seem to know much about these cars so he couldn't tell me too much.

The guy selling it is a mechanic and he's had the car for 6months now. He's the second owner so the original owner has had it since 08. The 1st owner apparently got it smogged recently just to sell the car.

We're thinking about it... **** this post is long

 

2800 sounds like a good deal. I just picked one up a few weeks back for around 4k. Mine was very clean though so definitely depends on condition.

 

Like the S5 tail lights. Just put JDM and Drift in the title and you're guaranteed to sell to some kid for $1000 plus. S5 is just that cool

 

Not so much a hatred for S4s, but everything that makes an Rx7 an RX7. Exhaust leaks? RE-A Mirrors? Whats next, you wont like a Tii hood because the hood isn't in the center?

 

Sounds good man, but why not just do a compression test on the spot just to get an idea?

 

An exhaust leak is not good for performance either. We're losing like 1/2 a hp right there, AND it smells. So, really I'm just trying to make the RX7 all it can be.

RE-A mirrors...yeah, I don't like them. Hassell's been trying for years to convert me on those, and it hasn't worked. They are visually unappealing. Just like the S4 sport wing that you love so much.

The TII hood is actually not on the list of things I hate—despite the OCD

 

Technically its a spoiler not a wing, and it helps the S4 sport achieve a lower CD than any S5 FC or R1/R2 model FD. But, the only wing that belongs on an FC is an RE-S GTC wing. S5>S4 Don't let your neck get caught in the auto seatbelts.

 

Are you trying to FLY with that wing?

Speaking of seatbelts...you wouldn't happen to have an extra pair laying around that you're not going to need anymore you'd be willing to sell me?

 

Yup, as low as I can.
Would you like my faded RED interior for your red car?
Black S4? I though grey was the only "dark" color they had back then.

 

That I know, but there were on 1500 in the US right? And that black is basically an S5 interior in an S4 car. Atleast thats what I thought, so if I'm wrong it wont surprise me.

Red looks great in the inside of cars. 20 year old, been out in the sun red, not so much.

 

To be honest, the best place for interior parts is the second gen classifieds. I only say that because there seems to be an average of two cars parted out a week in that section.

 

Hey wsup pplz im down my coolant seals popped. but i will be attending the next meet thats if i can catch a ride with some one.

 

Just push the car. You wont get there any faster than any other S5 FC owner
Sorry, I had to.

 

Well my friend bailed on me.. No go on the FC project
For now at least...

 

You still haven't explained to us why it HAS to be an 89-91 coupe. Not everyone who drives a White a S5 with Feed lip and stock spoiler is an instant driving genius

 

Mileage of when this happened?

Damn that sucks dude.

Was it while you were smashing or driving normal?
