    Hello from the frozen tundra!

    Hey FFR community / logging in from the midwest. I sorta did the build/forum thing all backwards because i'm just wrapping up my build now and registered here this week!

    Built a FFR MK4 base kit- ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE CAR- i wasn't sure how i would like it but i am so so happy with how it turned out / the FFR design. Hindsight- i don't think i would do anything different / the build was a journey but in the end, it all came together for me. Some of the details...

    8.8 / 3.55s
    5.0 Exploder motor
    T5z
    elbow grease

    Looking fwd to participate with the on-line community / help where i can with questions-detail my experience. I think the #1 thing i learned is not one of these cars is the same / they might have a high level blueprint for building, but in the end the customization really makes it unique to you- the builder. I added a couple pics/looking fwd to meeting some of you-
