Thought I'd make a more up to date thread here. I have heard a few FD owners around the Fort Polk area, but I am interested to know if they are also members of this site.

I drive the MB Fd.

 

*Crickets* As suspected....nothing haha.

 

I just moved to new orleans from south florida. Cars running working thru tuning and a couple of small problems. Be a couple months till she's street ready.

 

BR/Nola owner here with a black fd. still trying to troubleshoot small issues and waiting for the hot summer to pass, especially with no ac!

 

Good looking fd3s wowzer. What are your issues?

 

im rebuilding a 1990 gtu with a s5 tii swap not bad since i bad 700 for the whole car and engine and transmission. Did a half bridge port and ported the exhaust. Since it my first ever engine build i plan on building second engine to keep on the side.

 

I live in Prairieville (Baton Rouge essentially. I have a Black FD with a LS1 swap. It's my daily if you can believe that.

 

1982 FB in Baton Rouge. 95% original, just exhaust and MSD ignition everything else is stock.

Anyone know of any wrecked or junked first gens around here? Currently I have to go to a junkyard in Nola for parts and most of that car is in my garage now, but I do sneed more parts lol

 

Oaky8, Th
eres one at pull apart here on the west bank new orleans west check the site it has been there for a few months if you'd like i can go get pics if its still there and if you go i can go with you to help you pull parts its not far from my house

 

Thanks duggie
But that's actually the car I HAVE been scavenging all of my parts from for a while lol. Got the steering box today. Someone has taken a gear or two from the rear diff since the last time I had been there. An older gentleman I met the other day said there were a few sitting around in Livingston parish years back.

 

Np i got luck and found 3 verts in there and was able to find 5 good vert rims with center caps for 160 im trying to find a t2 so i can get the rear diff and intercooler piping.

 

FC verts? That's a surprising number for one yard. I really like that they have a classics section. Wish the BR yard did.

 

You already know where I'm at Tony. For those who dont, I've got a white FD and I'm on Fort Polk.

 

yea i was shocked also ever since then i havent found a fc close by

 

Im in prairieville, got a project fc for now. Haven't had any time for it lately. Probably going to part it out and sell it. Any local FC guys need some coilovers?

 

Anybody going to IFO Baton Rouge this Sunday?

 

There are a lot more rotary owners around, they just don't care to post or rarely get on the forums.

I'm still kicking.

 

Hey j I heard your working at Nola speedway now

 

Me? Negative. Though, up until earlier this year my shop, Gorilla Race Engineering, was under contract with NOLAspeed and was responsible for their dyno tuning and custom fabrication work. But I was never an employee there.
