Finally Picked up a FD
 

Some of you have seen my threads on thinking about getting a different car. Well I finally bite the bullet and picked up the car ive always wanted and never stop wanting.

Finally got the FD I been waiting for. Picked up a really good 93 FD roller. It has only 70k on the chassis. Got it for a really good deal and it isnt a stripped roller like most rollers I have seen. Only reason motor was pulled was because they were going to do a V8 swap =(. One of the cleanest interior/exterior roller I have found.

This will be my new project car, Unfortunately I cant have two projects and the 8 will have to go. At least I can have a boosted car once again. Only pic I have is of it on the tow truck coming home.

Nice! Congrats! Looking forward to more pics

congrats man

jayscoobs, nice pickup.

I too have always wanted an FD, just can't seem to get the damned clamp off the wallet to do it.

Can't wait to see a build thread...you are gonna include us, right?

Clean roller!

I miss my FD sometimes, but my pockets are only so deep so I sold her and picked up the next best thing IMO :)

Whats your plans for the FD?

Keep us posted!

Very nice, should be a fun project.

beautiful car! did you happen to ask the guy what drugs he was mainlining which caused him to think putting a V8 into the car was a good idea?

O man. Another one bites the dust.

What's wrong with putting a v8 in the car?

beige interior?! NOOOOO! :P

We call it tan. I call it low ball tan. As soon as you see it in an FD, you get permission to low ball right off the bat.

Yeah I saved another FD from getting a V8. The guy is actually really crazy and happens to have a Veilside Fortune kit that he still needs to get on.

Plans is simple, in the beginning keep it close to stock as possible. Just reliability upgrades. Plus I need it to pass smog. Im going to take modding part by part, I don't want to end up with boost creep/spike. Im most likely just going to 99 spec the car. Nothing crazy.

Ill try to have a build thread on both forums haha.

i agree with this 100% :P I'll get my FD when i have spare cash. spirit R spec that thing probably. but got to work on my "daily driver" XD

Try? WTF? :)

Haha I'd be lazy to update two build threads.

Sweet car!

..kind of a monster truck. :lol:

Haha yeah monster status until motor is back in.

i was going to get this in ohio...dude wanted $6500 for it. am i talking about the right one?
i was literally going to sell my 8 and then buy it within the same day but plans didnt fall through.

P.S. youre a lucky man

This was in Hayward. Paid 4k for it.

ah shit there was one looked exactly like that 93 70k miles for 6500 out near me...enjoy your FD dude

Haaa I'd like to see how far you get Spirit R specing it! It's harder than you think unfortunately. I down know anyone that got further than me and I still have quite a bit to go.

I have relatives over there.

Anyway, drop it like its hot!

Hoping to get this thing running before Sevenstock. Ive had my 8 for almost 2 years and still haven't gone to Sevenstock.

congrats keep us posted.

So What details Spirit R?

Congrats...not bad for $4k.

Me like, me like! :)
