Looks good mate, very nice wheels with the car.

Looks well \'ard, but you\'re gonna wear out your shoes pretty quick if you stay with that spoiler mount technique! :chat

Oops, ignore me, missed your second post before! Looks excellent, I love black FCs

very nice.. that spoiler suits the fc also. seldom see many high spoilers on fc as they dont usually look that nice.
maybe u should consider the knightsport supercharger once u done. make it a bit more pokey
2 doritos on a stick woohoo :rollin

It\'s going to be a nice motor - and probably quite a suprise for someone when they realise it\'s not a stock EGI ! :spank:yes

is that a TII front bumper+lip? looks awsome


\'91 FC TII - Drifter... Under construction :D
:burnout

Well she was an egi & in need of a rebuild so straight away looking at 2k for the rebuild, so searched about to see what 2k could get me, found the engine & 6 speed box for 1k, so went for it also thout it would be something different & fun but still keeping a turbo out of the engine (insurance for a 21 year old sucks a bit). Yer not a huge fan of some of the insanely high spoilers on fc but this one just does the job without looking silly. Will def be looking in to chargers for her next year :) Running a single 3" straight thru all the way, can\'t wait to see what i sounds like with Renesis, hope she still pops & kicks flames!! Not sure what the lip came off but found it on good old eBay. Thanks for your comments guys. Just waiting for my calipers to come back from being powder coated red.

1K for the engine and box was a very good find, you would pay half that for a box alone !! That was definately worth the while. have you any write ups on the installation?
be nice to know for the future

Sounds such a sensible choice for the money and it\'s certainly a very interesting combination :) Hope you will be bringing it to some of the shows? ;)

Good luck with the project and do let us know how you get on!

Quality job, good to see original thinking.
Great choice imo, you would have to plough loads of money into 13b and seriously compromise the driveability to get that kind of power.
I\'d love to see how an FC handled with N/A delivery at that sort of power. Could be a great weapon (especially if you put it on a diet!)
