Super clean red S5 GTU in Chico

Been seeing around town, just wondering if the 7 club knows about you.

That S5 driver was the stupidest noob/douchebag ever!

Of course they do! ...everyone knows that guy he is one of the stupidest noobs ever to drive an FC. Like, when he heard about DTSS he posted it up as if he was the first person to hear about it... and he used to complain that his oil pressure dropped when his rpm dropped... go figure?

Oh yes it was clean He restored that paint and polished those wheels himself with a lot of elbow grease. It took him 3 hours to wash and detail that car and he used to do it twice a week lol.

I miss my GTU though... this is all that I had done to it...

Momo Steering wheel
modified shifter-**** from a 79 corona... wood with lead filler.
short-shifter
S4 Turbo drivetrain
ACT Prolight Flywheel
ACT HD clutch kit
Energy suspension bushings (front suspension only)
Racing Beat Swaybars
Racing Beat DTSS eliminators
KYB AGX shocks
Ground Control coilover springs
Mazdatrix (AWR) Prototype Adjustable Camber links
Turbo brake swap
Stainless Hydraulic Lines (brakes & clutch)
Hawk HP+ pads
Full Racing Beat True-Dual Race Exhaust

and probably more I am forgetting lol...

I miss that car. It died 20 miles from sevenstock. It had an epic coolant seal failure, coolant was jetting out between the center plate and the housings. But considering how many track days, drift events and 'spirited' driving I did 186,000 miles isn't too bad...

I had slpin tow me back up to chico, but it cost me so much renting the trailer and paying for the gas that I couldn't make rent. So I sold it to FD-Paul's brother who lives in the bay area... And according to him his brother is still driving around happily in it.

That's cool he was able to get it fixed and is making good use of it now.

that's right, I couldn't find a red S5 bumper. The original bumper got ruined when the car kissed a mountainside. My beautiful racing beat exhaust was also bent. The overbuilt stainless piping saved the car from getting totaled though. I had it repaired but it won't ever be perfect again.

Next time you let a friend drive your FC folks make sure you tell them NO DRIFTING! You would think you wouldn't have to say that... I dunno what he was thinking?
