Looks like a nice, original car. I wish I got Christmas presents like that, even if only from meself! Hope you\'ve got a short drive home with it, suppposed to be the coldest night of the year so far or something, isn\'t it! Should be fun! Just now drove home from work in the FD and scared meself silly a couple of times!

Very nice mate with leather as well. Don\'t go to mental as these things bite in the wet and frosty weather.

Thanks guys, it is nearly all standard, just alloys n cat back exhaust. What i was looking for.

Its a 4 hours round journey so its a long one.
I was thinking of keeping the egi and maybe converting it to a trackday car.
Not sure yet, will decide in the next month.

welcome mate,

As already said, take it easy on the drive home, be safe and have fun.  Nice to see someone else who likes them fairly standard.

That was a great trip home.
Bit scary with the wind and rain.
Didnt want to push it to hard as it was sat for a long time. Its so standard its great. I luv the look of the standard car and i was thinking maybe just a thew suttle mods, with some essential engine mods.

I need to get the brakes done, there pitted rather bad and the bads only have about anouther 100miles left, was just wundering if anyone knows of any good cheap options, i found these on ebay.

Yeh, thats the one. It was brought up on here sometime ago with the rear wheel stearing bit. I was looking at other fd\'s at the time but none of them seemed to be in as good condition as this one for the money.
