hi guys!



first up, i'm Ferdi aka Furb, age 24, from Holland.

don't ask me why i haven't found this forum untill today, but i am the proud owner of a 91 FC3S TII for 2,5 years now and i'm totally in love with it!



i will give u a quick look into my project from feb 2005 untill this day and will be doing regular updates! please sit back and ENJOY https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.gif



Bought it in feb 2005 in an original and remarkable state

Car was imported from Germany in 2002 and then had a full rebuild, the rest of the car was also brought up into shape

When I bought the car, the engine had only 9200km on it



This is what it looked like back then:

Did some minor changes over time, but saved my money for a long time and then it all went by pretty fast in a short matter of time

Jan 2006 the car was pretty much still stock, but the spec list has grown quite a bit since then!



Some gadgets:

Then the suspension was in for some major changes.

Silkroad coilovers from Japan, custom made strut-braces, vented brake discs.

And ofcourse a nice set of wheels, I wanted to go as wide as I could possibly go without rolling the fenders. After searching and researching for a long time, I got what I wanted!

Only thing was: they didn’t come in black, so I had to get them painted right away…

Front: 18 x 8,5J offset 25 with Falken FK451 225/40R18

Rear: 18 x 9,5J offset 25 with Falken FK451 255/35R18

I had just finished that, when i ordered my aerokit. Wasn’t too convinced wether to put on any aero stuff, but when I found this one and was offered for a good price, I just couldn’t resist!
