CB Radio

6' CB antenna

Naca duct headlight cover ($7 junk yard special)

HD2 SPL front Lip

street clutch (dont remember maker, i think it is exedy)

OSH Olive Drab paint

OSH Flat black paint

Vibrant green (when clean) Tow Hitch

Removed Pre-cats, and Hollowed Main cat to a High Flow Mustang Muffler



i think there is some other stuff, but i cant quite remember all of them now...

all of this work i have done myself, i have also swapped in another engine as well as 2 trannys. this car has never been to the shop to have any work done on it. the only place i go to is Martin's Garage, which is a garage at my friends house, with normal hand tools and such.



This 88 GTU is daily driven, and makes frequent passes on the mountains, usually 4 times a week, as far as battle damage goes there is a perfect formation of the gaurdrail on the rear driver quarter pannel. how it happened; Martin and i went black Ice drifting on the mountain. damage on the font fender, hitting the gaurdrail, then hitting the rear of martins car. also from martin hitting me at drift day 21. the front bumper is from many things; hitting martin at a bunch of stop lights, pushing an MK3 supra to a shell station after he hit the mountain wall, pushing an AE86 to a shell station after his car died, and many other things



the Tow Hitch has been used to Help an FD that was stuck, pull martin from the mountain to his garage, approx 20 miles, also it saved my car's life at dd21; on the dirty course i had a steep angle and was holding it really well, but the dirt caught me and i just kept sliding, hitting the concrete imbankment all it did was bend my muffler (picture below).



and now for the pictures

Do you have any waterpump problems with only 1 belt on it?

nice sunroof..lol

u just made baby jesus cry.

well suddenly 'rusty bitch' my pet name for my car looks good

no i dont at all, the belt has never slipped or whined or anything. i am thinking about getting anoter belt on there, but i dont want to put one on until after i get an underdrive pully

BORO CRAZY OCTOPUS!

loves it.

-M

seriously, that is one of the most beautiful fc's ive ever seen. do you have AIM id like to chat with you i have a s5 that soon will become my drifter bitch... my SN is Crassfc3sdrft, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the paint, ******* dirty all business no bullshit

lol man that car is sweet.

I'd recommend splurging and spending 5 bucks on another belt. If that one belt breaks, your engine is gone. Its happend to many people, including myself. Sometimes even a brand new belt will break. And then it becomes a costly belt....



I understand you dont want to buy a couple cans of primer spray paint, but atleast get another belt on it. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

i am going to put on a second belt. it is a 3L220, it connects the main pully to the water pump!! i am stoked that i found out what size fits!





my aim is swickdrifter

I agree with crass, all buisiness, no bullshit, nice! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

ummmmm ok, think about this.



you have a choice between 2 women.



one girl is a pristine girl, goes to sleep at 10pm, calls her mom every night, rarely drinks and when she does it is one sip of champane, and an ultimate in clean perfection



the other girl is a little dirty, parties all night long, great fun to hang out with, she looks good but only few can really see the beauty underneath.



the first is a girl that will always be there stay up late when you are gone, a girl that you might marry and pop a few babies with.



but the other girl is more fun. she will blow your mind in every situation, and possibly blow other things. you will have more fun with her that you would with any other girl imagineable.







we might say wthat we want the clean cute girl, but we will forever be jonesing the dirty little party animal.

Wow, just wow, i guess thats one way to put it. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif

i cant see the pics.

Car looks good, nice and tough. Only thing I would recomend is switching to an S6 alternator just to be safe. The stock electrical system often has trouble dealing with an electric fan. The only other thing is a dual alternator pulley to keep a tight squeeze on your water pump. Good job on the car all business is what it's about.

That is, um, a very interesting car. I completely agree that a car must be driven and when you own an FC, that is especially true.



I like the dirty girl as much as the next guy, but to clarify, I prefer the dirty acting girl, not the dirty looking girl https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Or you could find something in the middle....
