My FC so far

djmtsu · 02-18-2008, 06:37 PM

This is my 1990 FC. Started its life as a decked out GXL (minus leather) and now is just a bastard.

After the motor was pulled, and awaiting the TII swap, someone decided they wanted my stereo more than me.

Moving on.....

Who needs a rear wiper!! Not me!!

At the Dragon, DGRR 2K7

Thats pretty much it for now.

Mods list:
Rotary Resurrection rebuild, TII swap
Rotary Performance RX-8 5spd knob
Red Dog Motorsports Miata short throw shifter
Racing Beat FCD
Racing Beat DP and Pre-silencer
Apexi N1 Evo catback
Corbeau seats
1FasT2 Gauge/Stereo DIN panel
Autometer Boost/Oil Pressure, Water Temp, A/F gauges
86 base rear hatch
No emissions
Banzaitoyota dual alt pulley
Ceramic coated turbo manifold and hotside, both ported to hell and back

Suspension......

Lookin good, dj. I need to hook you up with some chemical that will bring out the white from underneath that crust on your firewall an dinner fenders. Just spray it on and hose it off and it's safe for the electrical system too.

It looks a little better now. Its amazing what something as simple as 409 can do!!

Also I had an OMP line leaking for a while and it totally stained the firewall on the passenger side of the engine bay.

Let me know what that stuff is, I could use it!!

your car looks so clean!!! mine has rust everywhere but i can never take care of it because my fd gets all the attention....

DJ, if you are ever down this way (Birmingham), just bring you a bottle and I'll give you a sample.

Nice swap... it must be pretty unique having the S5 N/A tach with a TII swap. Do you still try to limit revs at 7? I know mine doesn't push very hard after 7 but then again it's stock. Anyway, really clean car.

Nice clean FC, sucks about the radio though

djmtsu · 02-19-2008, 12:44 PM

Yeah it sucked, especially because it was an Alpine flip out DVD with bluetooth and everything. Not a biggie though, it came with a car we bought for parts.

RS- I limit revs to whenever the buzzer goes off!!!!
