Title: My MazdaSpeed GT-Concept FD3S - UPDATED
Post by: D CUPS on November 12, 2006, 11:05:23 AM
Hey fellas:Typing ..

Here\'s pics of my ride i took today 12/11/2006.
Id like to thank all the boys from the FD thread at Ausrotary and the FD Guru\'s, BLACK TALON, DAIONI, IBLI7Z, KOTTER31, CRAYSUS, JIM6, RICE RACING, FD MAN, ADJUST, PLYRUF and N1RAY for all the help with parts, knowledge and support with the build so far. Its only 40% done, a long way to go to finish.

Its a J-style race inspired build. The 2000 model Series 8 was originally imported from //www.japandirect.com.au .

[size=18]THE ENGINE BAY [/size]- Still Stock...at the moment.

....Well, except for the D1 Aluminium AST and HKS IC pipes (thanks Marcus |SPII| ).
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/djchesta/DSCF0962.jpg)

....Still managed to run 218.7 Rear Wheel Kilowatts @ C&V\'s dyno dynamics (around 270-280KW\'s at the Engine), with just a nicely tuned Apexi PFC and HKS EVC 5 with high/low adjustable boost 14psi. It sits on 10psi most of the time.

[size=18]THE INTERIOR[/size] - sorry, its abit blurry; My Nardi Deep Corn s/wheel, HKB Boss kit w/Airbag relay eliminator, CF Mazdaspeed g/knob, Addzest Double DIN, PFC, EVC and HKS turbo timer. Soon will be filled with a pair of Red Bride Brix\'s and CF Scuff plates (if I can find the right price for them)

[size=18]THE EXTERIOR[/size]- So lucky the car was imported with the MAZDASPEED edition GT-Concept exterior wear, minus the GT-C Front lenses which they cracked when the car was on the boat and the so, so looking rear pods. I\'ll be filling up the rear soon with a Diffuser.NOTE: The rear wiper and nozzle were never part of the car when it came from Japan  :shock:

Car looks very tidy!!

Did you know your second toe is longer than your big toe?  Does that mean your big toe isnt really your big toe?

Very nice and understated, that. Looks like someone\'s had the same idea as me regarding the red silicone hoses, though :)

i had the HKS hard pipes on my car when i bought it, and mine were red.  i have also seen other rex\'s with hks and i tik they are all red.  i therefore assume they come with red hoses.  

very nice car, cheers for all the pics.  have you any plans for the future for it?

thank you all!

...hehe, weird fatty and skinny big hairy toes.

Haha, thanks Shaf, at least you still have your MR2....wish I couldve kept mine.

Thanks....I like to keep the garden clean, I hate it when cat\'s, dog\'s or kangaroo\'s (
I have more plans with the engine, saving dollars up at the moment, pretty happy with the power output but cant wait for more!

I love RE-A\'s Greddy V-mount on the baby blue FD, i want something like that.

what a difference a year makes eh? :spank
