I want your car Jim



1500 dollars for an oil change? Christ, do you have to take the engine part to change the oil?

I have a LOT of money into my FC. Its my do all. It used to be my DD but now its only for weekends, Autocrosses and hopefully some open track days this winter. It gets the fastest time as the Autocross usually when I am not brain farting and not forgetting how hard I can push it.



Including the purchase of the car I have over $35K into it. It has over 400 HP and with the tune I have it at will run a very very long time like that. MY AFR is solid in the 10's all across the power band at 1 Bar putting about 370 to the wheels.



I toyed with selling it and getting a "higher profile" car like a Porsche 911 but I love this car too much and love what it is capable of doing to high end cars w/o them expecting it.



After the last Autocross I gave it a hug.



Its kind of a brutal DD because of the racing clutch and suspension. Its ride is VERY harsh its very loud and the clutch, once heated, is a bear. (6 puck w/ extreme PP).



I have Daily driven it but it wears you out. Especially in Hlorida in the heat and no air. I keep fighting a battle to put the air back in. I think I will soon.
I wouldn't mind the clutch or suspension. Plus, the weather here in Bay Area, CA is really nice. Not Florida weather that's for sure.



Now I gotta choose between an FD and FC.
