    Even though I'm just here to watch cars go vroom & literally don't get any of the jargon this is still highly entertaining and interesting.
    This dude literally won a bunch of races but keeps all his trophies in a dim corner of his workshop, he's got parts he bought brand new probably straight from some factory rep back in the day and he builds custom parts for a very specific type of engine.
    Dude has world class experience and knowhow and yet his place is just a small, cramped and dingy workshop that looks like nothing special when you drive by.

    I genuinely loved this video. My first car was a 10th AE FC, my second car was a 1990 GXL FC and my third car was a 1989 GX with a turbo swap. Out of all of them the second car was by far the best. It was a full package GXL with electric adjustable dampers and every single piece of electronics on that car worked. It had Desmond Promoda ZR-1s in 17x8 +35 and an Abarth 3 spoke wheel from an 1965 Abarth 1600 OT. I miss that car every day. I've been searching for an FC similar to it for close to 10 years. I found a couple but they sold before I could go see them. Maybe one day I'll buy a new FC to make memories with.
    Thanks for the video Alexi, you gave me some pure, unrefined nostalgia tapped directly into my veins.
