Well I've always wanted an FD, and an opportunity arose. I bit
and started to make arrangements in my plan to reluctantly sell
the s2000 (still miss it!!!).

It's not much to look at now, but over winter I'll work on the
styling. For now I just want to drive it around and make sure it
runs good before winter.
So far all I've done is:
-Drive it around the block
-Mount new tires on
-Re wire the fans
-Remove thermostat
-NRG steering wheel and STi shift knob
It seems the fuel pressure regulator has ruptured its diaphragm.
So it can't hold fuel pressure. Ordered a replacement should
arrive early October. Hopefully throw that on and drive it open
header around for a little while. Then build an exhaust and put
it away for winter. Then cage, wheels, aero bits, hydro. Set to
jet for next year.

shape.

Made some progress.
-Skud built an exhaust for me
-changed spark plugs
-mounted radiator
-work emotions
-vinyl over hatch wing holes
-99' front bumper + 93' lip
-headlight covers (no more Feed scoop)
Car runs really good now. Too bad it's winter. Here's a pic
before the lip and headlight covers. Also my rear tires are 45
series sidewalls so it looks stupid.

Dual 3" all the way back. H pipe. A muffler for each pipe at the
very back. It was pretty tough for Skud since the trans
crossmember hangs really low on the hinson kit.

93' lip on a 99 bumper. I ordered the wrong one, but I like that
the 93 doesn't have the slit in the center of the lip.

Probably not going to get the wing or that aero, but it set the
vision in my head of where I want to be with the tire sizes and
fitment.

What's the difference with the 99 bumper? And what's the exhaust
look like coming out the back?
