Talking Cheapest Power FC?

Okay, I just picked up my power FC for my FD...

...got hooked up by Dragon since he went over to Metal Speed a little ways down from his house(spitting distance). Flirted with the girl behind the counter and she told of him of someone she knew that was selling a Power FC for an FD with commander....in Yen it cost me Y85,000.

...the exchange rate right now from dollars to yen is $1 to Y130...

...for all of you who don't want to do the math in your head, or are too lazy to push the button on a calculator, that comes out to a WHOPPING........$653.85!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


...so my question is this...anyone got me beat?

You might hate me more if you found out how much I paid for my FD.....


...which was roughly $6300 with the full exhaust system, re amemiya front bumper/rear wing, side skirts, intercooler, fuel pump, intakes, gauges, re amemiya cpu, OS Giken twin plate, MazdaSpeed powerplant frame/rims, ...

...FDOkinawa's got my beat cause he only paid $4500 or so...but I think I have the cheapest power fc yet...

I really don't care since Power FC isn't for FC's (well at least not reasonable for the limited availability, hardness of tuning, and price compared to others)
So great deal!! Keep on posting those great deals on FD parts prices you got

...they've got the power FC for FC dude. Just that they're hard to find or impossible to find in the states. Soul assassin had on in his FC before he used his F-CON V Pro...

...and I got the power FC because Dragon and Igy are a beta tester's for the Datalogit system, and I saw what the power FC can REALLY do...

...I can't wait to get my own...or at least break into a Yellow FD parked across the street from McDonald's so I can borrow it for a full tank of gas run to tune it... ...


...because there's no way that I'm trying to run from Igy

Whats really funny, is that our American President (Which I do like..) got you that deal.

His little goof caused the japanese market to plunder. I laugh my *** off everytime I read about it.

Power FC

Guys,

What is the difference between Power FC here in the US and in Japan?
Are they the same?

Thanks
Reza

Exactly the same, people were saying that the US version was tunned for lower octane gas before, but now that the data logit is out we know the truth. The US and Japan versions are identical...
