I bet Ray and all the other old guys would agree. I feel so much more... hmm... modernized in the FC compared to the FB. You'll understand since you've had both (even though yours were more similar power wise).

Yeah, well I'm going to have Ray's old car soon,so I'll have the power of my old Fb, with the nice tight tolerances and S3 dash of Ray's immaculate shell (also all the electrics will work, the weather stripping and stuff is preserved and well looked after, so maybe that gap will continue to lessen. I also think I'm going to replace some suspension bushings while I'm pulling everything apart. That;ll REALLY make the car feel new, I also need to source some cheap hockey pucks for good motor mounts since I'm going to have the motor out for the swap anyway.

I remember Collin telling me about hockey pucks. How much are new motor mounts anyways? But yeah, in the end it's going to be an awesome car. I'll lend a hand too if you guys set up a meet/swap/chill day.

That's exactly what I meant, lolol. Fuck FCs. If you have an FB, why get rid of it. Later, QD.

Hey now. Mine's got the bling rims now, what yo shit got huh? lol. True though, I'd love to have your FC. Get a header, remove the emissions, fab up a CAI and I'd be good to go :)

I'd be glad to drive it instead of mine for a while so it wouldn't have to just sit at your house...

I've got CAI, I have to meet emissions ( Damn Gwinnett) and a header could be done quite easily. I need new tires though

Are you talking about the stock S5 CAI? Ehhh... Yeah, I hear you on the emissions shit. Forsyth is the same way, but Dahlonega and Dawsonville aren't :) Move! lol. You still on those bald tires from a few months back?

Too bad I'm too tall for an FC, I almost got a 91 Turbo but my knees were on the steering wheel with the seat all the way back. Nice car and nice work!

Those cars have tilting steering wheels, but the release lever is hidden, took me 8 months of owning my FC back when I owned an FC to realize the wheel tilted lol.

I finally swapped a tilt column in the FC about 2 months ago when I swapped locks and keys and everything. It wasn't so helpful before, but now with the new wheel it makes everything sooo much better.

Thanks man. I'm actually about to park it (if the plan goes on like it should). I'm swapping blocks from the 275K one to a 115K one, removing all the emissions bs, and possibly swapping in an LSD, aligning the wheels, and doing some body work too. It's gonna be much, much better once I get everything the way I want it...

Why'd you take the Blitz off? If it's a whole CAI combo or whatever, I might be interested in buying it if you don't want it anymore and I'm not poor :)

The seats are from a 'vert RX7, and I got a deal on the hood for $60 since it has hail damage. It's aluminum though, so it's a win in the end. Nice ones go for around $200.

You're welcome! I took off the duckbill and sat a stock wrap-around one on a while back, and I didn't like the look, so now I've got an extra wrap around one :)

Hey, I've finally got a decent paying job :) If you really want to sell it, what's it all god? Like a CAI box and filter? I'll buy it for the FC, since I'm about to park it since the coolant seals are shit...

Thanks, you too. I remember seeing your 'vert on CL, and a buddy of mine (Blake) with a bike talking to you about trading in Dawsonville wouldn't stop bugging me with questions about your car :) How'd that end up anywho? He's not the smartest crayon in the box... :rolleyes:

No box, no aftermarket manufacturer has included a box with their FC intake.

So I'm parking the FC either tomorrow or Friday, and starting to DD my new Maxima. Motor swap, LSD rear end, emissions removal, body work... it's gonna be sweet.

It's not really fun at all, but the smoothness and electronic junk all around make me feel like I'm in a Lexus. It's rather nice.. :D

I wish. I got the Maxima for $1800 with the graduation money I got back from paying for my first semester of college since I got the Pell Grant, I've had the FC and have gotten deals on/ bartered for everything that's on it for almost 4 years, and I bought the FB non running for cheap and haven't put over $100 in it. What drugs you talking about? :D

For an update, I'm delivering one last time in the FC tonight before the insurance drops Tuesday. Then she'll get ripped apart and molested (in the good way...) lol
