yeah FDs just arent very practical, i still love them though bc they look so good and drive so well... when theyre running.

 

i hafta raise this on ferret boy



he didn't sell the lude and settle for a base model 7..



he's a crowd pleaser.. thats why he's in the rice crew to begin with

 

well from what he said he bought the 7 a day or 2 before selling the prelude. doesnt mean i believe it though

 

FD's aren't practical coming from people who don't own FD's. Just as practical as a TII or any other rotary car.

 

ive seen first hand how they are. ben(viper1308) who is in iraq had leaky turbos and his car was in the shop for at least 6 months. if that was an fc and the problem wasnt easy to fix you could just part it out or sell it and buy another one. they are just a lot more disposable.

 

Should of done the work himself. Don't blame slow shitty shops on his car being down for 6 months over some leaky turbos.

 

well the shop was gotham racing, which seems to be one of the best shops in the country. the job was slowed a little by a warranty company who wouldnt pay, but not that much.





how many fd owners have actually not had their car down for at least 3 months at one point or another?

 

Thats not the first time I've heard it taking forever and a day to do a job there. I know they do good, maybe just understaffed compared to the work coming in. And again, can't blame the FD for a warranty company.

 

as the rotor turns:

A genD story.

 

OH and in the 5 years i've owned FD's, I've only had my car down once for 3 months and that was because we rebuild the motor, sent the parts out to be ported, did a haltech install, and a single turbo conversion at our leisure.
