Hey y\'all,

Was sent a link from simo1 on here with some parts so I had to join. A lot going on...

Just  bought my first rotary off Simo in January. Always planned to buy an FD  but I had to have this....only a handful over here.

Bought it like this....

Originally an Auto but the guys in DI Motorsport (and simon) swapped it to a Manual.

First thing i did was put in some BC coilovers

Did a track day.....Most fun ever, I used to have a civic track car that was fast but this was soooo fun

Then I put on some GTR-R33 rims.

And custom made an S14a lip to fit as my OEM one blew up at the track

Since  then its been running like a bag of nails so Ive stripped off the  exhaust manifold and in the process of buying new gaskets. Have a  feeling its a vacuum leak too.

On the look out for a standard diff as this "one wheel spinner" auto diff is shocking!
