Haha, you need to check out the american forum mate there is a massive gen 1 community on there with a few REW FB\'s floating around. 400BHP FB\'s look like a lotta fun.

thats great news to hear you back in a rotary

i\'m liking the 1st gens also since spotting one around my area!
kinda tempted to try pull him over and see if he want to sell lol.

forget bridge port, just go PP :p
so whats your plans for it?
keep it stock or mod it?

i think, after the 1st gen, you need to upgrade to the best. FC :p
(no rivalry, honest :p)

Yeah whats really in at the moment is removing the moonroof and replacing it with a random colour steel jobby-which is handy as I have a gold one that would really complement your red.

Quote from: skybusr34;705267hi peeps.

ive always owned fd3`s. had 4 of them and just selling the last one . i spotted a gen one in my city for sale. so thought i`d take a look. on a Y plate. red with glass roof. got a bit of rust bubble but its a toy.

engine is coming out. its done `133k miles so a refresh and a full bridge i feel is required.. im not a full member and i cant post pics up!?!

Welcome to the club - the best one around. You couldn\'t have chosen a better model to be seen in - far nicer than the FC & FD.
If you\'re not keen on the moonroof I\'ll take it off you hands for a good price. Cliff

skybusr34 · July 18, 2010, 11:10:45 AM

lol im getting the impression the glass roof is a nice feature. im sending it striaght to garage for them to do a proper check over it. replacing any hoses etc that look suspect. its first trip will be rotorstock yay :-)

skybusr34 · July 18, 2010, 11:45:18 AM

ok you guys will prob get sick of the questions off me . but i`ve already found the look i want...

where do i find these arch extensions etc please :-)

captainbizzaro · July 18, 2010, 12:22:34 PM

They are 240z extensions from memory-there are usually universal JDM arches on ebay which do fit with a bit of tweaking but I can\'t find any on there at the moment,although I only had a quick look there may be some hidden somewhere.

Me Too, Me Too, but Silver instead. In fact I\'ll give you 2 Silver Roofs, One for weekdays, one for best. :wave

Your car was in Herefordshire I think.....Has it moved far or stayed in that County?

A Warm welcome as well....Dave.

Thanks for that mate. :driving

Ian65 · July 18, 2010, 03:03:59 PM

I think it\'s disgraceful how you are all trying to land our newest 1st gen owner with a mutitude of different colour roof panels for his car which will clearly clash with the red coachwork.
I, however, have a lovely black roof panel which will look a treat on this red car and compliment it perfectly!
I\'ve always thought how good a red series 2 would look with a metallic black roof panel!

skybusr34 · July 18, 2010, 03:39:10 PM

surely there is enough of you guys that would want a glass roof to have a glass company make up a batch??

syebba · July 18, 2010, 04:20:27 PM

You\'ve all got the morals of a sewer rat,you should be ashamed of yourselves.
I\'ve been appalled at what i\'ve witnessed.
Grown adult men behaving like delinquent brats in a candy shop.
So you don\'t wanna sell it,hehe:Giggle
