Title: my new fc
Post by: redgti on December 20, 2009, 09:13:28 PM
Just bought this on ebay, hoping it won\'t be too much of a dog didn\'t go to see it and my mate picked it up for me the other day. he said its pretty cool, not too bad, but it has failed its mot on a couple of rust holes so hopefully it won\'t be to rotten. if it is i will patch it and drift it for a year if its not too bad then i will get it up to a decent standard.
 
Does anyone recognise it?
 
the wheels wil be coming off as soon as i have an mot on it.

looks tidy, though the rear wheels look bit too small..

the number plate might be worth a couple of hundred to a chinese person

new picture update, just the one for now, the wheels i got off adam and brett are now on. and i have given it a quick wash. I have spaced the front wheels need a 20mm for the rears and then a set of coilovers and looks wise i will leave it, but on the hunt for a decent exhaust, an egi diff i can weld and coilovers. On a budget though at the moment unfortunately.

cheaper than coilovers and it will drop it about 30mm

Post by: redgti on February 12, 2010, 10:06:03 AM

Definatly worthwhile,so what are your plans for the car?
Title: my new fc
Post by: redgti on February 12, 2010, 10:18:00 AM
just get it handling nice, new bushes all round a welded diff then hit some drift practice days i think. Learn to skid then possibly turbo or engine swap when the need for more power takes over.

i have no idea mate - can you think of a good nice deal ( and a good price on the repair - cheaper than you were expecting ;) )

and we all know how cheap i am !! LOL

trying to think of anything else that may be of use for your EGI ??!?!

yeah was so relieved at that price, he said he didn\'t need to weld any material back on so got away with it. a swap would be nice i suppose.
