Well I've always wanted an FD, and an opportunity arose. I bit |
|
and started to make arrangements in my plan to reluctantly sell |
|
the s2000 (still miss it!!!). |

It's not much to look at now, but over winter I'll work on the |
|
styling. For now I just want to drive it around and make sure it |
|
runs good before winter. |
|
So far all I've done is: |
|
-Drive it around the block |
|
-Mount new tires on |
|
-Re wire the fans |
|
-Remove thermostat |
|
-NRG steering wheel and STi shift knob |
|
It seems the fuel pressure regulator has ruptured its diaphragm. |
|
So it can't hold fuel pressure. Ordered a replacement should |
|
arrive early October. Hopefully throw that on and drive it open |
|
header around for a little while. Then build an exhaust and put |
|
it away for winter. Then cage, wheels, aero bits, hydro. Set to |
|
jet for next year. |

Made some progress. |
|
-Skud built an exhaust for me |
|
-changed spark plugs |
|
-mounted radiator |
|
-work emotions |
|
-vinyl over hatch wing holes |
|
-99' front bumper + 93' lip |
|
-headlight covers (no more Feed scoop) |
|
Car runs really good now. Too bad it's winter. Here's a pic |
|
before the lip and headlight covers. Also my rear tires are 45 |
|
series sidewalls so it looks stupid. |

|
Dual 3" all the way back. H pipe. A muffler for each pipe at the |
|
very back. It was pretty tough for Skud since the trans |
|
crossmember hangs really low on the hinson kit. |

93' lip on a 99 bumper. I ordered the wrong one, but I like that |
|
the 93 doesn't have the slit in the center of the lip. |

Probably not going to get the wing or that aero, but it set the |
|
vision in my head of where I want to be with the tire sizes and |
|
fitment. |

What's the difference with the 99 bumper? And what's the exhaust |
|
look like coming out the back? |
