Title: My new FD!!
Post by: André on July 26, 2005, 07:39:13 PM
Here are some pictures of my new FD. Have changed a lot outside the car since i bought it. Still some to come inside (paint) and engine parts....

Plans (some already innstalled): Uppgradet ECU and fuel pump, Greddy IC, filters, pully kit, boostcontroller, turbotimer, 5Ziegen exhaust, Trust Brake kit, Tein coilovers, Sparco seats, Defi instruments and 18" Nissan R34 GTR wheels.. probably more, but dont remember now...

Pictures with the new paint (like the carbon and white look  :) )
The paint is all House of Color, white base with light blue and green flake. Its hard to see on the pictures..

Ace car Mate.

Thats all I need to say........

Nice choice of mods and the white looks ice white which is cool.

What suspension are you running with those wheels? They look like 18s or 19s on there?

gees that looks awesome...whats the offsets on those rims...are you using spacers... cheers

Post by: André on July 26, 2005, 08:20:02 PM
Thanks!

Using Tein Super Street Damper Coilovers... The rims are 18" R34 GTR rims, 9" wide. Think the offset are 32, have small spacers in the back, put other than that, they are a perfect match..

Be careful not to overdo it Mate !

The car looks ace with the R34 wheels on, thought I recognised them.

The more I look at it the more I am impressed.

Hehe, thanks. I`m not going to overdo it. Going to repaint the wheels in the same color, or maybe a little bit darker... The front diffusers are easy to take on and off, so thats no problem. Going to paint the plastic inside in a dark silver/grey or titanium color... Under the bonnet its going to be all polished aluminium  :D

Got it from Japan, not very cheap.. Its actually a lot wider, but removed the stuff sticking out on both sides, don`t know if a want them or not..

You can see them on the picture below, but its not mounted there, thats why its hanging..

Thanks everyone! It has taken some time, 5 weeks og fitting and prepering for paint, but I`m happy with the result so far. Have also been removing the antenna, rear wiper and so on.. Still want to paint the plastic inside, dark silver or titianium...

Can`t wait to get a polished Greddy FMIC and some more goddies for the engine too :D

That is amazing, I really like the look of your rex.
Those wheels nicely fill that gap in the arches, they should look pretty nice too in white.
