Ok so i've been on the lookout for a fc, mainly a vert, to use as a daily driver. So i started looking and I quickly decided im to picky I wanted a s4 white vert with under a hundred thousand miles, a decent top, bone stock, and would pass emissions. Needless to say i was basicly looking for a virgin that was a pornstar in bed. So i quit being so picky and just said i want it to be a fc thats stock that would pass emissions, so to craigslist i went. After a few weeks of hawking craigslist and people not texting/emailing me back i found this
http://bgky.craigslist.org/cto/2585644601.html
It was in my price range and he actually replied to my email. So after texting back in forth all day jfaplanet(charles) and i decide to make the trip and drive up there, roughly 2 hours one way, so we get up there and it is in a little rougher state then the pics showed(or he said via texts) but anyway i drove it down the street it drove great decent idle, smooth rpm band, and started when warm. So i agreed and bought the car. So got it back to charles and cut out to replace the water pump, after purchasing we stopped to gas it up and realized it was leaking out of the weep hole. So i replaced that with a new one thanks to a buddy of mine.

So to give you a quick timeline i bought the car on wed, replaced the water pump on thurs, and passed emissions on fri. So ive been driving the car for almost a week the reason i wanted a fc is because i had hopes to not mess with it needless to say it needs some tlc, so here is the build thread part its gonna combine both maintence as well as upgrades because i can't leave well enough alone.

so cliff notes
- bought a fc
- its rough
- needs lots of love
- its a base model 4 lug, no bins, manual windows and mirrors, no spoiler, has ac,

so heres the good stuff
- 5 lug swap
- turbo 2 front brakes
- either springs and shocks or coilovers (rides like a caddy now)
- s5 taillights
- new windshield (current one is cracked)
- turbo 2 seats (current driver seat is ripped)
- s4 duck bill spoiler
- tinted windows
- clutch and new trans (throw out bearing is screaming)
- s4 steering wheel (horn button is mia)
- bbs vert wheels
- some kinda of lip for the front bumper not sure which one yet
- stainless brake lines
- stainless clutch line
- poly bushing kit
- upgrade sway bars
- ill probably leave the paint alone for now but we shall see

soo what yall think
