I\'m getting that itch...

I\'ve always loved the look of FD\'s...they are sexy beasts!!

My name is Wullie, I\'m 27 and been car daft since I was 18. I\'m on many other forums, but the place I call home is the SXOC. I\'ve been an S-body owner for about 5 years (on and off) and love them to bits even when I can break them by looking at them.

I\'ve been looking more and more at FD\'s and considered trying to get a swap. Can a Mod or Admin let me know the rules regarding selling and newbies?

He\'s a quick car history in pictures for you all :)

1996 Toyota Starlet Glanza V


Added a front mount, E-Manage (Blue) and some other odds and sods. Had it Dyno\'d at 1.1Bar with Stock manifold and CAT in place at 183hp :) Pretty nippy when I was only 20. I ran into some issues with the boys in blue after a year and a half of owning the car and it left me with a sentence of 3 Months of public transport :( Bad times....after taking a year out of exciting cars. I started to get into this whole "Drifting" craze and decided I wanted an S13. My mates old car came up and I knew it was a good car deep down so bought it... a 1993 UK S13 200sx. It looked like this when I got it...



I gave skids a go:



It then popped its HG. I fixed it up and at the same time decided to make it look like it used to.





I then sold the car, because I was going to settle down with a girl. Which went pear shape a few months later...was bad times, I then decided that buying a car was the only way to solve my issues and I got this, a 2003 Honda S2000.




I then bought an exhaust and some wheels for it



And gave it abuse on track


I then decided I wanted to do skids again, and came to a deal with a guy on the SXOC for my S2000. I came away with this 1994 JDM RS13 180sx:



I then decided to give it my own touch



The 180sx is currently running about 350hp using a GReddy TD06-20g. Its got all the usual drift associated goodies (adjustable arms all round, 1.5 Way diff etc)

Anyway. I am gonna take a look about and read some threads. I know a little bit about FD\'s and the rotary engines, but there is always more to learn.
