So I broke the Glanza recently and told some people I was moving away from the car scene for a while. But, you know how it goes .. Once you have the bug it's there for life whether you like it or not lol.

So went to view an fd on Wednesday and go to collect it on the 16th when he is back from his holiday (as I was pushed for time and obviously he was going away we decided to arrange it for when he is back so nothing is rushed).

Some brief history of the car. It's a HKS team Kansai rx7 when it was in japland, got imported in 2012. Obviously got stripped for some bits before it came over as it was a fully fled racing built car over there.

The guy who im buying it off rebuilt it back up to where it is today.

Current mods and nothing OTT, but a nice base to start with:

Year 99.

C-west front bumper.

Tein coilovers.

Blitz nur spec exhaust.

Snap off boss.

Full weld in cage, through dash, door bars, gusset to A pillars and gusset lower B pillars.

And a fucking horrible Momo steering wheel that will stay at his house as i'll be taking my OMP 300 to drive back with lol.

Unsure what wheels they are.

Plans:

Wheels of some kind (undecided yet).

Full custom 3" turbo back exhaust.

V mount set up.

Apexi ecu.

Paint cage white.

Aero package.

Braces etc.

Remove rear seats.

Drivers side fixed bucket & harness.

And some more shit. Probably will single T it but not immediately.

Cools as fuck mate.have you driven it yet? How does it compare to the micra?

Yeah test drove it, feels amazing. Insane sound, insanely balanced car, handles fucking mental. Just sticks to the road. Turbos are real nice, first one comes in around 2.5k revs and the second around 4k and you can definitely feel it lol!!

The driving position is awesome too, proper in there, especially with the cage right next to your side. Having a little trouble fitting in there though lol that is the only thing haha but eh, it's worth it. Fine when you sit down but getting over that door bar is like climbing over a farm gate lol.

Can't wait to go for a proper drive!
