Smokey Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Anyone who's talked to me about cars for more than 10 minutes has probably heard the story about how I've always wanted a FD and would own one someday. Well, that day has come! My camera was dead so I couldn't get any new pictures of it, so I took some from the FS ad. The car is a 93 touring with the R1 lip, wing, and seats. This car will be a nice day/weekend/track(the ones with turns) car. It is built very close to how I would have done myself. Stock ports, still stock turbos, still sequential, PFC, SMIC, full exhaust, no A/C, no P/S, and pretty light all around (2820 full of fuel). It also has a nice brake upgrade, and GC coilovers with Advance Design shocks. I would have preferred a no-roof car, but I suppose we all have to compromise somewhere. Hopefully I can make the R1 seats in it work out, if not i'm sure they'll bring decent money cause they're clean. I'm not the biggest fan of the hood, but it's a necessary evil on these cars so it'll stay. At least it's painted. The exterior condition is not quite up to spec in my opinion, but for a FD it's in good shape and it'll clean up nicely. And yes, I'll paint the front lip back to black. Anyway, on to the pics. http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z56/kutschca/FD1.jpg http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z56/kutschca/FDside.jpg http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z56/kutschca/FDUnderhood.jpg http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z56/kutschca/FDinterior.jpg edit: Mods, sorry if this needs to be moved to pics & vids you can do so.

HotCarl Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 WOW, very nice. But, why paint the front lip back to black? i think it looks good color matched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokey Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 But, why paint the front lip back to black? i think it looks good color matched. it looks passable in the pictures, but when you see it up close it doesn't match very well, so it'll be painted black when I get around to it, and then probably replaced with a new one (they come black) sometime after that because it's getting beat up as well.

SpaceGhost Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Pissed off weed eater! Seriously, looks like a sweet car. You kept the M3 too? Baller! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I wouldn't sell the M3 to have gotten the FD. They're just two different cars with two different purposes. I'm also glad that I didn't try to find a really nice FD and have it as a nice street car, because it's just not what the car was meant for. For now, the M3 will still be a track car as well. Mostly for schools and what not, and the FD will probably only see Fundays this year. (such a shame to have 2 track cars huh?). I'm hoping with time that the wife will take the reigns behind the M3 at the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObliqueFD Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Looks good! My dad might be interested in your seats for his 7 if you decide to sell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I'm no FD expert, but I've detailed my fair share of them and for a For a 15 yr old FD that's lived on a track it's in outstanding condition....and when I'm done with it, it will be immaculate.
