      damn...two FD3S!!! You rich biatch. I'd probably have to sell a arm and a leg and a kidney to afford half of one FD (i'd take the front half if i had to choose). That FD is nice though.

        Nice FD. I wanted to go single on mine but its way too expensive. Why not go 1600cc secondaries?

          1300s are just fine for around 400rwhp on pump gas and after that I would use race. The reason I am sticking with 1300s is because it doesnt add complication to the fuel system with the need of resistors and the like. The purpose of this project was to get rid of as much complication as possible.

                Well, thanks for the parts. The FLT-A2's are deffinatly my favorite part, the car feels like its on rails. Ben has been really helpful in getting me the stuff I need for this car. Tell him I think I deserve the carbon ti exhaust. We should start filming the car for HSR Type-C pretty soon.

                  I will let him know. Again, the car looks wonderful. Do you have pictures of your car on the track or any kind of action shots?

                    not as of yet.. soon as it gets tuned we will. I tried out the old setup (upgraded twins) but the transition would always mess me up so I went with the single. The great thing is that we have some nice turbo weather comming up in the mid-atlantic area.

                      Sweet, so this must be the fd that I saw at Fed Ex field Maryland Drift showoff at the parking lot. We were just walking by and took some pics of it, and you were sitting in the car.

                        yeah, that would have been me.. unfortunatly I wasnt able to participate for that one because I origionally had other plans and missed the registration for it. I will be there next year. I am going to start really practicing with the new setup in Jan with the lookoutdrift guys down in richmond. What sucks is that there are no legal practices in the DC area or then some friends that have parking lots that they let us use.

                          That's sweet, I would love to see you drifting that thing. If ever get a job and have actual money I'll enter some of these events and show everyone what an open diff can do.

                            yeah, they can get expensive to say the least with around 100 bucks for even a practice.. The drifting is going to be pretty ragged the first few runs since its basically a different car. The powerband will be different and even the weight as the car shed around 100lbs with all the stuff I removed. But that said, I cant wait to get out there...
