Hater? I said each to their own didn't I? Post it on honda-tech.com if you want to see haters......

To me a car is something to be driven, not so much a piece of art to look at. But hey, everyone's got different tastes, and if your kit makes you happy then great. IMO there's too much going on and in detracts from the lines of the car rather than enhancing it, but thats just my opinion and I'm more of a function-over-form kinda guy.
I haven't posted pics of mine because I havent taken any for over a year. Here's some old ones, not much has changed apart from the mileage, trying to decide if I should sell it or keep it and show it some love...

1992 EG6 SiR
96 B18C-R motor
98spec S80 close ratio box
JUN light weight flywheel
J's Racing style carbon intake
4-2-1 TRR header
*****ty 2.25" exhaust (needs bigger, it feels strangled at higher RPM)
D2 coil overs
Black ITR recaros
15x6.5 Regamaster Evo's or 15x7 SSR Type X (currently being refinished)
Spoon style carbon wing

If I dont sell it a decent exhaust and a tune will be next, followed by some bigger brakes and probably not much else other than some slicks for the rega's and some time at the track.

Hey! that's a pretty cool looking EG. I was thinking of getting white rims before but opted not to. Are they hard to keep clean??? I know after I changed to High Performace Ceramic brake pads my rims gots so dirty quick.

I know mine too.. Next one I might make a couple year project and just throw the 20b(w/single turbo/stand alone ecu/bridge port/etc) in myself.. But yeah working on getting another..

My big question how do you know so much about FD's rally? You must have at least studied up a bit..

lol You're right. 188 cars.. holy crap..

Again suprised you guys know it as FD and not Rx7 or "what kind of car is that?"

Actually I've owned two.. within a year of each other.. sold the last one a little while ago to move and do other stuff. Stupidest thing 'cause can't find one as nice as for what I sold it for.

The car for me is an addiction, anyone who's owned a FD or sat in one or drove one understands. But I'm sure alot of people feel this way about many other cars. Every car has it's own feel I guess. Some have a better feel than others. And I'm a fan of all cars really so I respect everything from old til new.

Oh well third FD is a charm.

Pop's truck. '33 ford pickup, '32 grill shell, Model A frame, 307 sbc, chopped/channel'd/z'd frame.

Was built probably 20 years ago and he started it from a $30.00 body shell probably 25 years ago or more..

I just had a new kit installed.

Looks pretty good, def. a big wing. Glad to see you still have it and enjoying it! I posted pics of mine on here - I think they are on page 12 or somewhere around there. I finally lowered it and got a new tranny w/lsd =] I prob. gonna leave it stock look other then adding a lip. I rather do more engine work XD

Looks good I just saw it but your hood looks like it's fading a bit. the color seems a tad off from the fender. It might just need a new coat of clear. I had the same color integra before and the hood did the same thing. Funny it was only the hood.

you should just get a 20b ported engine with the normal turbos and what other upgrades you need to handle that engine. The 20b ported TT engines get like 550-575 hp and to me that is perfect. Arnt putting 20b engines in expensive, like 40g
My dream car is also a rx7 with a 20b or a 2002 spirit R

I personally hate TT systems, especially those on Mazda rotary engine. The stock 3rd gen TT system is crap. (33' of vacum hose on that thing) And 20b in a cosmo only came in automatic so the ecu/wiring/trans is pretty much worthless. And makes it complicated to run the stock 20b turbos in sequential form which means non-sequential conversion at the least.

You need a specially designed subframe or mod your own. Everything else bolts up but getting close to 700hp the stock FD tranny starts to make noises that it's in pain. At 550hp-575hp on a 20b IMO you've maxed out those stock turbos.

Besides I've always wanted a bridge ported engine, already know the turbo I'm using and will do most of the work myself even engine porting/manifold fabrication/etc. If this is a car I'm gonna be whole hearted in I can't half-ass it even if it takes me years to finish. Might as well shoot for the moon.

And no 20b engine itself will set you back about 4k. The subframe/ecu/fuel system is what can set you back 40k but that IMO is if you're paying someone to switch it over. IMO brakes/rear end are sufficent for a while at least. Do stuff yourself and you can mod the heck out of that 20b and still come in under 40k.. But you have to have the tools/know how to do alot yourself and not be afraid to tackle it.
