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.

 

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 **** 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!
