New (ish) owner from Kent

[spenser8797]

Hello!

I've been lurking on here for a little while and thought I'd introduce myself...

I bought an FD on 7s day last year:

It wasn't in the best nick - faded paint, tatty arches, kerbed wheels, leaking exhaust, a rubbish intercooler setup and a few other niggles. It was a good running base though, having been rebuilt by Rotor Torque less than 2k miles ago at the time.

Not too much has changed over the last year, I've been gathering single turbo parts for the most part. I'll start a thread, but here she is now:

It was also nice to bump into some of you at the 7s day event last weekend!

Thank you! I won't do much more cosmetically until everything mechanical is sorted out, it will do as is for now...

I think they may actually be my old wheels ha

Haha do you have a yellow FD? That's what I'm told they came off at least - 7Twenty Style 14 18x9.5 ET22

Yeh that was my old one

Ah nice! The wheels were pretty battered when I bought the car unfortunately, so I went for a refurb and colour change. So much easier to keep clean being gloss now so I'm happy

Out of interest do you get any rubbing. Especially up front

At my current height yeah a little up front. Only on big compression and full lock though, isn't too bad really. Rear is absolutely fine with rolled arches but the fitment is weak. 225/40 fronts and 245/40 rears
