I saw a red FD on 401 yesterday. It looked to be lowered with aftermarket wheels. I tried to speak with him at a stoplight, but he was too focused on the road to even look at me, Im kind of hard to miss!! Silver, loud, low, flashy 1st gen....the guy lookedt to be in his 20's or so must not know his rotary history. Was it someone on the forum?

Oh by the way, if that happens to be an S5 NA engine and you don't want to use it, I may be interested in taking it off your hands.

It involves a relatively cheap 'bond' through a bonding co., probably some kind of Bill of Sale, and an affidavit or some such...
Jes a suggestion...

Actually, I'm recollecting that it's the length of the pinion that's different and if that's the case then it wouldn't help me in either case.. too much trouble for what I need...
Im still working on getting you that video. I have to burn it to a DVD and drop it in the mail. Carl
Thanks...

Just go on DMV's site and check it out, or call up their head title guy and ask him, or his asst.... I actually got through awhile back about something and they were amazingly helpful...

Joey-
Thanks for the pic.
IMSA-
Thanks for the info, I'm going to give that a shot.
Carl-
I want those wheels, haha. Those are pretty hard to find though right? I kinda figured it was photoshopped, did he lower it too? It looks lower in the PS pic, like you're tucking quite a bit. From what I can see that's a pretty damn clean car too, good job.

When ever you can is fine... I'd like to make it out to your Dad's shop for a visit sometime soon, perhaps even next week if I can, and it suits him... If I know I'm coming and you've got it by then (don't worry about if not) and can give it to him I could pick it up and save you the trouble of mailing it...
Thanks...

And NO, I wasn't trying to sneak anything past anybody, else I sure as hey wouldn't have posted it on here... ;)
Just couldn't resist at that price... as for SM'ing it, I got to get the main basics together first, that being the roll cage and suspension... in the meantime I've been looking to get a Torsen in the Ratty Red Rac'r Wannabe soes I'll quit failing rear tires with too much tread from over heating due to spinning them so much... ;)
I've got a spare '96 w/ a Torsen and had planned to swap them around, but need to work out some way to get both up on racks at the same place and time and do it together...
Thanks for the input...
