I bought another old red Japanese car.

Hopefully you will be back someday because I truly enjoy your take on each chassis you end up with=)

anyway, with a 4c in the driveway, seems to me like he was betting on the wrong horse. Another build thread that never went nowhere.

'Build that



never went



nowhere.'



Sorry that I don't keep up with the forums, have a lot going on most the time. FC is gone, got offered twice what I paid for it by an older guy who had an identical one back in 1990. Went to a good home. I'm out of the car game now, selling off all my wheels and cars. Stock life it is, who cares about the internet.

Too bad he sold it lmao.

[Evan_Holtz]

Yes, FC's everywhere. We need to build a cult. Like a legit cult where we drink spiked koolaid.

Yours is so clean! I'm excited.

[RowdyRoddinRyan]

So heart eyes rn for this car..

[labuffness]

In 4 moar FC brothers. Excited to see where this goes.

[Earl]

So did you end up selling this during your hiatus? =/

[SnazzyQ]

Dang that paint turned out really well.

Hurry up and finish it.

[Daffy]

Hand buffed and waxed the whole car last night, came out way better than expected. I still need to go over some parts with an actual buffer to get the swirls out, but for 1 stage paint from 1991 it's going pretty well. Also I'm back in WA with the car now so expect shit to slowly be done. But for right now I'm rather enjoying driving the car stock and clean, I get a lot of thumbs up from everyone and all the older guys are saying how nice it is. Shame that I look homeless most the time while driving it.

Looks killer Elliott!

If you buy another engine, pick up a 13bt. No point in rebuilding an NA 6 port unless the stock one is popped, or you really want to go crazy NA.

Have you started premixing it yet?

Oh yeah, what kind of wheels do you plan on rocking? I know a place that has some RE Amemiya wheels for sale for $600.

13B-T is the plan, I want to learn how to track properly on the NA engine before bumping up the power with a built 13B-T. No premixing yet, I don't think I'll be on a track for a while (probably won't be until I'm back down in CA next fall).

Please can you link me to them? I'm planning on either Advans, Buddy Clubs, R33 Skyline wheels, or Regamasters. 17x8.5, 17x9.5. Or something like that. I don't know if you noticed but the car is already 5x114.3 which is incredibly helpful, and since it's a GXL edition it does have the nicer brakes too which is nice (but they will be replaced).

Had the apex seal inspected right after purchase and it looks in really good knick, but I will purchase another one and learn how to rebuild the engine myself.
