well here's some pretty ordinary pics from my phone of the car that I bought

only real issue is the throwout bearing is a little noisy, just gonna do
the clutch while i'm at it but.. what do you guys recommend as far as clutches?

So apparently I have no idea how to post a picture so I'll just go search how to and hopefully figure this out >_>

yep, it's a 1.8 :P haha
Just finished polishing it >_> rear spoiler is a bit faded but no big deal..
I work for a company that owns a panel shop so that's easy fixed

I still can't work out how to get my pictures to show up -.-

thanks guys!
I already love it haha, huge improvement from my old 93' impreza
I've tried searching for what clutch I should get for this thing but I can't find much about it..
can any of you recommend what I should be buying for this? figured I'd just upgrade the clutch while doing the throwout bearing

Most clutch kits come with the throw out bearing.

I had NPC create a custom clutch which was 275 IIRC including throw out bearing. Otherwise you can pick up an exedy clutch

Give Greg from GSL Rallysport a call. You'll find his details in the traders section.
He is normally pretty good to the AGT folk.

look at all the other applications for the other cars...
it won't fit!
I have never heard of an exedy clutch kit that fits the FP-DE... only way is to buy another brand or mazda

just because the FP-DE uses the F word box, doesn't mean it uses the same clutch as the other engines!
