Yes thats a wooden wing and a nestea can on the exhaust. The best part was I wrote the local honda import stores name on it with rice.

Oh yeah I also added some z28 emblems to the side for the whole rice feel. Also it had a 1.8L Isuzu 80HP engine in it with 4.56's in it. My max speed was 73MPH lol.

I had to reply to this thread! lol. I used to drive a H22(prelude) powered civic hatchback. It got hit and I got tired of breaking axles twice a month so I bought an FC with the money. Heres a pic.

My '87 LeBaron GTS - Turbo died of unknown causes Feb 01 so I bought '96 5spd Mustang (V6) which died Jul 01 when I failed to complete a passing manuever, so I bought an 88 Celicat ST (n/a) which needs new thermostat and Water pump gaskets but is sitting in the parking lot right now. The FC is the best of the lot.

I thought that all TT 300s had spoilers. Did you take it off? Or is that not really a TT?

you can barely see the wholes from where i took it off. the 90's came with those shitty hard rubber spoilers like on the 944's, and the person that repainted it didnt use flexible paint or something so it all started chipping off on teh corners leaving black against white. i just took the sumbitch off.

first car was a 87 325 that was in perfect shape, I hated to see it go but the parents were just letting me drive it until i found something (i took my time). Worst part is we sold it to our neighbor, so i see it when he decides to take it out for a spin every now and then. can you tell i am bitter? then it was my 85 fb, now my 90 gxl...

I drove a 93 Nissan Maxima (friends called it he maxipad) It was nice, it had the same v6 that was in the 300z's so it was pretty quick. It was fully loaded with everyting you can think of, Bose sound system, leather, heated mirrors, eveyhting. But I handed it down to my little sister when I got my 90 GTU. The maxima has 200+ miles and still going strong. The only thing that I had to replaced was the transmission.

My 86 stock RX7 is my first car, but I owned a 81 Yamaha Virago 750 (bike), and I now own an 01 Honda Spirit 750 (bike). This car was a gift from my wife, she figured I spent enough on jewelry that would equal the cost of the car ($1700, but I actually spent more than that). Man, she's great.
