New from Ireland

Hi,

Just said id give a quick introduction. Been on the lookout for an FD for a while now so hopefully should be an owner in the next few weeks. Have been thrawling the jap auctions so just waiting for responses on a few.
Looking for a totally stock gen 3 in white preferably. Car will be garaged and brought out for the summer months only. Its my aim to have some of the top jap cars of the 80\'s/90\'s (and some others!) bought and locked up before i have to settle down and get sense!
Currently have an Impreza 22B, E46 M3, Evo Makinen (Halves with the brother), Carlos Sainz Celica(Rally Replica Project).

22B: Bought it in 2009, #59/400

M3: Bought it in 2011, great car love it, sounds amazing

Makinen: My brother is in Oz and we came across it. Absolutely immaculuate and totally origional

GT4 Sainz: I bought it on 2012, always wanted a rally replica in white so thats next to finish once the MK2 is finished
She will be resprayed totally white..

Also have do some rallying and currently have a Ford Escort Mk2 2.5 Millington Diamond been built, should be ready in the next month or so.

Just missing an R32 GTR, DC2 Type R, MkiV Supra, might find a stock EG6 SiR II aswell somewhere.

Most people will think i\'m nuts but would be nice to have the garage full with these in 10-15 years time.

Each to their own i suppose!

Few pics anyway..





Under wraps for the winter!

















New compomotives for her



Origional Sainz book..



This was the Escort about 2 months ago, it has been fully fabricated and sprayed now so will get up some new pics when i have them..
Sprayed Giallo Ginestra (Integrale Yellow)

Hi, great cars you have there

Yeah, the late 80s into the 90s were an amazing time for Japanese cars, their economy grew spectacularly through the 80s and they were thinking big.  The FD definitely deserves a place in the pantheon.

When you say gen 3 FD, I guess you mean the one with the facelifted front bumper 99-03, right?  They\'re typically referred to as either 99-spec or Series 8.  (8th counting from the original SA RX-7 back in \'79).  The most \'collectable\' are the Spirit R cars (the runout special edition), but they\'re pretty pricey, and any 99-spec in good near-stock condition is very desirable.
Good luck finding a good car.

Hi Dave, cracking collection. Have you looked at buying in Ireland, cracking 1999 black FD for sale in Dublin, not on Done deal yet. Guy selling it is called Dizz, might recognise him from some Irish forums.
