def agree with that, but that wasnt what slowed it down the most. they got the turbos installed and then one broke and had to be replaced again. i know that is not necesarily the FDs fault either but it seems to be the way things go when you own an fd.

Should of done the work himself. Don't blame slow shitty shops on his car being down for 6 months over some leaky turbos.
bens a good friend of mine, gotham is a great shop, but as long as ive known ben, his fd will run 6 months, sit in the shop 6 months, and repeat that cycle, but he has non seq. twins, im trying to explain that going single will be a little more reliable
i know fd's are about as reliable as any turbo car, they all have their quirks, but if you have only 15k in cash, it would be pointless to buy an fd and not have repair money put up, same for any other turbo car.

Not trying to open a can of worms here, but how long are you TII guys letting your car sit at Gotham Racing? Just curious if the turn around is any quicker. I know they do good work, but I keep hearing how long it takes.

SO YOU .....
sold the prelude just so you wouldn't be called a ricer...?
OR
sold the prelude and bought an rx7 just to fit in on a website
OR
got the rx7 so you can post more in the 2nd gen. section, (where your posts are counted) so your post count will be higher and you will feel better about yourself ?
OR
you sold the prelude, bought a lot of alcohol and a 7 and expect to impress people if you share the booz. by throwin a big party and braggin...
OR
you are really just 16 yrs. old.. thought you wanted to be a ricer.. got ragged on in Gen D., decided you wanted to be a "rotor", and bought a 7 to fit in... you've probably just discovered a cobra, and now that you are probably on your way to join a cobra forums, your gonna turn into principleofinsurancefraud, rape some old lady out of money for your own fault and get ragged on even more in gen d., end up with a pos firebird esprit and tell everyone how great you are ?
