Car looks awesome mate.:InLove   Is that a mazdaspeed spoiler?

Hahahaha mental oriental! Nice work bud! Im loving the CF Kick plates! Looks better wet btw ;)

Nice ride mate............:InLove

You seem to be a bit of a MazdaSpeed fan, so I will ask you a question.
Do MS do uprated internals or a full gearbox that will take my power. See my sig. As I and a number of other FD owners over 500bhp or near to it are killing the standard FD gearbox. :cheers

thats a real beauty mate! mine would be very similar if i had won the lottery or taken up bank robbing.

keep us posted its nice to see beautiful examples like yours.

all the best.

That is lovely!! Probably one of my faves around!

What\'s the front bumper? I\'ve seen it on a few but never asked before...

i thought it was cwest but i could be wrong. :)

Mmmmmmmm that is awesome! :-D

Rgds

Ant

Quote from: gsb876That sits beautifully dont it :cheers

Great looking FD, certainly does sit well!

Lovely lovely car.  Wheels really work well.  Could just do with a big break kit to really set it off!

Ride height looks perfect too.

Nice car, I like the carbon scuff plates!! Where can they be bought from?

I really love this car!!:InLove

..after going through numerous seats, Bride ERGO I\'s, Bride PROS..

Bride GIAS stayed (the driver loves the tight hug) and the new Bride ERGO II got the green light from the Missus (More comfy than the sweaty stick-to-your-skin leather Bride PROS and reclinable, quick recline access for the backseat pasenger for my little ones - which the GIAS Doesnt have)

For my GIAS, ERGO II and Bride RO-Type rails ate $3,700.00AUD out of my wallet (and weeks of waiting from Japan), that includes convincing the missus all the time that the our kids are priority 1st which I have done so far hehe (its so hard trying not to blow all the money on the car).

I have joined the black club.

RE-XTREME - Nice mate!!, cant wait to see what you do with this one.
Can you suggest an aftermarket big brake kit (fronts) for my car (anything other than brembo\'s) ??

Sick car, really tidy man :)


:Thumbsup!

Awsome motor there....:god

we want more pics???....::2Confused Giggle

Mate,

You will want gold now to match the wheels or red to match the seats.?
There are some amazing kits at the moment.

Endless are making some excellent kits at the moment.
http://www.endless-sport.co.jp/brake_caliper/6pot/index.html
400,000 odd

And there\'s Greddy GREX 6 Piston.
309,000 in Gold
http://www.trust-power.com/07brake/index.html

Project U
457,000 6 piston Green
http://www.project-mu.co.jp/product-folder/caliper/racing.html

Why not Brembo
Miguel runs Brembo I think and they are awesome.
AP-Racing gave some problems.
Give him a call at newera. He\'ll set you up with something.


PS. I hope the Fujita image on your Myspace is an indication of your plans.
I\'ll be ordering my Feed wide kit in a week or so.



Russ.

Wow, nice selection there Russ. Thanks for that. Oh the reason why I didnt want Brembo was because I thought Brembo cost double compared to the other. Im really feeling the GREX 6 piston, oh my. If Brembo sold them in gold like on the 350Z\'s then im sold!

Nice, post pics up when you fit the kit. I\'ll be keeping the Mazdaspeed kit on mine, still contemplating whether I should put a CF RE diffuser, a MazdaSpeed R-Spec rear bar or MazdaSpeed diffuser which attaches to the stock rearbar.

Chester

R Spec = I dont believe you can get the R-Spec Front or Rear Bumpers any more.

There is one company that does a Copy of the front now. but not the rear
http://www.aeromaster.jp/index.php?cg=23

The Mazdaspeed diffuser works just as well as the others. I saw an article once comparing lap times and handling.

You will scrape on a lot more stuff though if you have a big one.

Russ.

Darn it. I should have got into the FD\'s abit younger when alot of things were still available. Hope that mazdaSpeed diffuser is still available, I can see what your saying about those bigger diffusers like the RE-A one, reversing out of steep driveways and stuff.

I think I spoke to you once on your mobile phone when you were still in oz, because when I buzzed you, you had just sold your FD about a 1 week earlier to some dude in QLD.....i was spewing, think it was about sometime in 2005.

Oh btw, what wide front guards did you have? Is that RE-A? and how did you manage to flush them with your front bar?

I want to go wide front and rear with mine but also keep the GTC front bar and skirts (even modify them to fit if I have to)

I dont know where my old car is now. Haven\'t seen it. But I hope someone\'s enjoying it.

I think there is more variety now than ever. Every year there\'s a few more kits around.

Does anyone know for sure? I think Mazdaspeed R-Spec used to be injection Moulded I believe. If you have have ever seen an injection moulding tool and how much they cost to make its insane. They basically carve a bumper mould out of alluminium. I think they probably pressed a couple of hundred and then that\'s it. No more.

Some where probably has old stock but they would be about 400000 yen just for the bar. But i wouldn\'t like to try to find one.

RE-A Guards Just bolt straight on. I fitted them in my gravel car park. Then refitted in Oz when I painted the car.
The rear guards really needed to be cut, but I just lipped the guards underneath so the car could be returned to standard.
