I would have bought the car asap. Good deal. Very fair on your part. I was just wondering why did you start and decide you wanted a project drift car? How did you do it? Seems like it took a good amount of time. Could you put a list of mods also?

Well , i had a old s13 drift car about 9 years ago and i kinda missed it so when i sold my track car ( Evo X ) i wanted to build a drift car again i got this one with 85k miles it was pretty much pristine and had a stock blacktop sr20det swap on there, i got it for a fair price and started modding my next step was going to be a cage and 6 point harnesses but i could not resist the FR-S so i had to sell to keep my wallet and wife happy. The project took me about 2 years and i had my ups and downs the swap the previous owner did was horrible the harness was screwed up so when i rebuilt the engine i fixed everything.

I hope FR-S is exactly what you want. Ain't nothing worst than being unsatisfied with your purchase then wailing about the lost of that beastly 240.

I hope you won't have to live through that pain, lol.

Damn, if you mod your FRS the way you did that S14...I can't wait to see what you can do

I'm sure you will miss the power of your old car, but there is nothing like that new car modding experience...it's like turning that hot virgin chick down the street into your own personal bedroom freak...

Very nice... I had a super clean 95 SE, miss that car more than any other I've owned, if I had to do it all over again I probably wouldn't have sold it.... but here's looking forward to the FRS!!

Im sure i wont miss the power since im sure it will be replaced by the handling and this is what i was after. I cant wait to get my hands on my FR-S!!! The first one is being delivered at my dealer this wednesday its exactly the same configuration as mine, if the buyer backs out for what ever reason its mine!! If not im gonna have to wait till June
