Like I've been tryin' to get to my garage to do one little thing...pull the engine out. All I have to do is pull it out now and I was thinking my dad has a chain-fall so I might actually get to do it myself! And on that note I probably couldve done it a couple weeks ago...

 

yea i used to plan things out like 5 weeks before doing them, then wind up not doing it because of some tiny detail. it was hilariously stressful sometimes. I swear i learned a new method to doing **** when i bought the fd. i bought and had that car torn all the way down in like a week, 3 months later a car looking like it was in a junkyard for 5 years is driving around on big *** power now just looking ugly. the car came with nothing but a waste of a core of a motor and a good trans. now its huge ported big turbo'd beast just dying to crack 500whp....my yellow fc on the other hand is the pretty bitch always too good for me, always feel like im not doing the install the cleanest best way. so many little details i feel like i cheaped on so i go back and go all out on.



wow, no idea where that came from, im wasted.

LOL! My 1jz is gonna be the cheapest looking swap ever...

 

everyone says my engine bay in the fd is rather unspectacular, i always tell them the guy 4 car lengths behind me appreciates the engine bay pretty decently lol, for a big turbo the fd spools and takes off promptly, especially if i have room to drop to second lol.i've lost traction with 245's in 4th gear, 1st is a joke lol.

Jesus Lee-Marvin'-Christ!! Unspectacular is something to aim for, ownage whilst looking unspectacular is icing on the cake! Although imo FD's arent exactly understated...if I see one even a shitty one I generally poop my pants.

 

i prefer the more subtle engine bay, im torn on getting rid of the polished IC pipes but im just not sure yet so I leave them alone for now

 

having the best of both worlds imho...

nothin better than to see one that can move AND be presentable.. it speaks volumes

 

trouble with these cars- there is always someone out there with more "GO"!



I built the car to be a good, reliable driver, I know its not the fastest, or the lightest, but I tried to make it show all around.

There will be more power in the future, eventually I want 400hp.

 

dont touch it rob... there was a reason why you won those shows... its easy to acquire high hp.. its another thing to be able to control it..

folks have always wondered why im still on stock twins... ive always responded with.. its what i can handle at this point all out on a course.. no bragging rights for her...

 

My engine bay is going to be flat black and black and than one rarely used offset bright colour.
