Spyder, I want you to know that this image was single-handedly responsible for me buying an FD. God dammit.

Larrymer posted:Pics!  I only have a few tiny pictures, because in addition to other amazing life choices, I bought this from a Japanese export-craigslist thing, and it's all I've ever seen of the car.  It's a '94 R2, 60k-ish miles, as unmolested as they seem to get in Japanland (still has the stock steering wheel). Has what I think are old-style Ohlins DFVs, and some other tasty treats. I'll do my own thread for this car so I don't poo poo up Spyder's with my shenanigans. the spyder posted:You have made a terrible mistake Ironblock, lol. It's... it's worse than you know. I live on a tiny Caribbean island and commute maybe a mile to work. The highest speed limit on Grand Cayman is 50, as far as I know. There's no elevation change and hardly anything you could call a corner. My coworker and my boss have a CL65 AMG and a G65 AMG (  ) respectively, so while I'm not at the pinnacle of moronic decision-making, I make up some of the lost ground with the fact that it's a 19 year old twin-turbo rotary that I've never laid hands on.

I can vouch for the effectiveness of the solar water heaters. My parents live up in the mountains/forest of California, and they use a solar system to heat their pool and hot tub. Most of the time, the solar is able to keep the water in the hot tub well above ambient air temperature, and then they use the heater for the final push when they're going to use it. On hot days, they pipe it away from the pool or the whole thing can end up north of 90*F.

the spyder posted:Correct- Harbor Freight had one for $7. I already got one nail in a tire so I decided to try it out. Works pretty well. When I was a kid, my parents remodeled their house. My dad gave me a hard drive magnet tied to six feet of string, and paid me a penny per nail to go "fishing" between the floor joists. I think your thing probably works a lot better than that did.

Deoxit is the only thing that was ever able to get the 300ZX ECU in my 280ZX to make good enough pin contact to actually run the motor. It's expensive, but that poo poo is magical

Practical... wagon... hmmm. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cadillac-CTS-V-Wagon-4-Door-2013-cts-v-wagon-manual-6-speed-black-diamond-ebony-recaro-9380-miles-/221355760067 In all seriousness, the regular CTS Wagon is probably just as good and costs a lot less.

How interchangeable do 13B parts end up being? For owning an FD, I know actually very little about the nitty gritty engine stuff.

Finally caught up on this thread, and it's making me want an awesome shop, and another FD. It blows my mind that I was able to get one with 60k miles into the Cayman Islands for $5000, and they're two or three times that here. Makes me wonder if I should have tried to import FD-chan...
