Going down the motorway coming home from Edinburgh, think it was the A720 and seen a red FD going the opposite way with i think it was a scoot bonnet.  Looked like Donato\'s car very nice :D

IKEA was ridiculously busy I kept getting lost in their! :reallymad

Im in the middle of trying to find a good rx so I went to JVS about 3 weeks ago they have two red FD’s their just now! have you had any experience dealing with them? I spoke to Andy and he seems to be a decent genuine guy who knows a fair bit about jap cars.

Hi mate,

No probs, i assume its working fine?

I did really wash and polish it! Took me 3 hours yesterday! I will try and get pics up to prove it! ;)

Yeah got the car back together fine, the new rad is making such a difference in temps, they are much more constant. The temps have not got high enough to bring the fans on since i fitted it, thats in town too! Very happy with the results. and it looks a lot better than the stock rad too! :D

How is your new arrival? Everything going well mate?

cheers

..thanks for asking.

Hayden is doing fantastic, he\'s due home with Julie today. Not be long before i get him interested in rotary engines!

Glad you got the radiator\'n\'stuff refitted.

Dials looking great, although the rev needle idles right at the bottom, rather than at the marked 900/1000rpm....the idle is fine though.

Good to hear it mate.

First toy - remote control FD, dad can \'look after\' it until he is old enough! ;)

Thats strange about the idle!??! we never even removed the needle?
I will be taking mine apart tonight to fix it and paint the dash. Its never ending!

Cheers
