Hey guys!

First of all I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Borja, I am from Santander (North of Spain, the city where ferries from UK arrive at LOL)

I bought this FD in UK in March. As I am from Spain and despite that I am working for a UK based company, I still live here, in Spain. So I am now in proyect of register the car here.
I was not sure about buying  one of this as I always had AWD cars but I falled in love of this beauty as soon as I saw  it even with the second turbo kicking in properly and bad condition of some things...

Here some pics












And one thing that got me mad was this Panspeed sticker over the ECU cover. I hoped to had been remaped by them but unfortunately.. standard ECU was behind it...



After this, started my project... I'll be uploading pics soon as I've already fitted a half roll cage, bucket seats, suspension, wheels, and lots of bits :)

Welcome to MRC,

The sticker may be good, not bad, as a company like Pan Speed was able to get into the stock ECU and remap it.
All the best Clive

Many thanks :)

I thought It wasn't good enough. Myknogledge, that might not be correct is that these 8bit Ecus needed to be opened and chipped and couldn't be remmaped directly. That's why I thought it wasn't remmaped and have to say that this FD was the first one I drive so I am not sure about if it is pulling 100% properly.

More updates...
I found struts and springs in this condition so the upgrade was something necessary




A good clean to whole interior
