Just picked up my 1995 White fd
she\'s loverly, first thing I want to do is meet some other fd owners and get all your tips and advice LOL
Think the first step mod wise is an apexi power fc and commander so I know what\'s going on a bit more. Need some boost gagues as well I think hehe.
It really is an Amazing car to drive, the steering feels spot on, nice and fast.
I can\'t believe how smooth the power delivery and engine is! I\'m startled why we still have piston engines in production, the fuel isn\'t that bad either, not for the fun you have!!
I know you probably get posts like this all the time, but its exciting having Anew toy!

QuoteImpossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.

Hi Trev, can see why you didnt want to sell yours in the end now! :-)
Had to hold out quite a while for a decent one at the right price.
 
Taken a bit of a chance with the engine, but i saved in the initial costs of buying it to subsidise a rebuild cost. but the exterior and interior are top notch.

trevtubby

thats good to hear mate, looking forward to seeing the piccies :)

has the car got any modifications at all or is she nice and standard? any recent compression results?

how much did you pay for her if you dont mind me asking :)

Welcome to the club mate
 
I swapped from vtec to rotary about 6 months ago and have never looked back.
 
beware though they are very VERY addictive:3gears-rh

Where abouts are you, there are members all over the country, there\'s sure to be some near you.

I paid 5k for it but the body Is mint, I dont have any compression results, I brought the car more on feel, and it felt right, I want to do all the fluids and plugs and check over all the vacuum pips for the turbo\'s.
I had a budget of 7-8k so if got enough for A rebuild if needed.
The car just has a cat back exhaust and 18\'s and lowered slightly
I want the re-A side skirts and rear splats and a c-west front bumper, bit I\'ll just build it up over the year. Its my first car if brought as a bit of a project so should be fun

O yer I\'m in herts, just near enfield

AMH

There\'s plenty of people in Herts. :Thumbs-up

Some of the boys are organising a tunnel run - good chance to meet some fellow owners. see here If that\'s a bit early for you I\'m sure there will be more meets as the weather gets better.

Be careful though - don\'t want you damaging your new Rex!

Welcome to the club matey!!

I know exactly how you feel after getting mine in September....you just never want to get out of her!! And the power and noise is just addictive - i\'m gonna get a petition started for a red-lining rotary to go on the banned substances list!! lol

But be warned....the fuel consumption WILL go down if you drive her like yshe was meant to be driven! I\'m averaging around 14mpg just now!! :O
Work hard, play hard house :D
