Here\'s my FC\'s history.
I bought 2 FCs to make one.
First one: \'86 Turbo

and second one for parts: \'88 Turbo (series 4)

Then, I welded the diff, and start drifting. Full stock, f**king hard to drift, but still, lot of pleasure!

Lost my windshield wipper...
Months later, I bought coilovers, wheel spacers and a Mazdaspeed 1.5 way LSD. I also installed home made rack spacers.
Pretty good fittings^^

So, bought a new Exedy racing clutch!
Then winter arrived, time to play on the snowy roads!
