:burnout :Laugh
Just moved this into its own thread before I prune the \'How many FC\'s are out there\' thread.
:wave
is this the FC that has been in the drifting competition this year??
Yup :yes
Looks very cool :D
Is this Pip\'s 3 rotor FC?
Nice drifter anyways, good luck next year.
Nah - Pips had a Mariah bodykit IIRC?
Yeah I saw this car at RS4.

Lookin good. I must say you looked like one of the the top 3 drivers at RS4. Im not sure of the results but it was good to see you out there. Who did your re-spray and how much did it cost?
Not had it respayed yet, still debating on a colour?!?!
Need to find someone in the UK that can supply me with a kit that\'s on stupid money.
Looks really good mate. Have you got a cage fitted, if so where did you get it from or do you know of anyone that can make one?
we have some kits here
http://www.rotaryart.uk.com/acatalog/Shine_Auto_FC_Body_kits.html
Gary I see that you do a cage for £663.88
If im reading it right would i have to drive down to sunny Kent and take out my dash? what about seats and stuff?
How long would you need it for?
regards Andy:WaveBye
Fitting is approx 1 week, lead time is approx 4-6 weeks.
Need it stripped, nothing in it, guys dont want to be stripping cars before they can work on them. Usually come down on trailer, would probably work out no different than the petrol to drive her down.
John has one in his FC
what sort of diff do you use? Im thinking of welding mine and doing some drift practices. :)
welding the diff is a good quick cheap fix, but makes it a bar*stard to drive on road.
Save up and get a 2 way.
http://www.rotaryart.uk.com/acatalog/Kaaz.html
Hijacked!!!!! lol.
Yer get a 2way if you can afford it, I got a Cusco 2way LSD.
But welded works well just not all that practical!!
My cage is a custom cage, fits really well. Im not sure who done it though as it was in the car previous.
Rotary Art, The fronts are ok but im looking for something a bit bigger like the BN or Chargespeed.

Do you think you could help me out??
Or anyone know of any companys that might do anything what im looking for in th UK?
Thanks Jon
:Hammer anyone
I\'ll ask if anything lined up.
Right, Hopefully get some bits started on this car now!!
Well i got some new wheels last week , Compomotives 17x8 ET30, so iv been sorting them out...
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k182/Jon_minis/21102007367.jpg)
A bit of a rub down, spray up and some orange tape WELLA!....
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k182/Jon_minis/21102007366.jpg)
Iv took most of the stickers off as i will hopefully start preparing it for paint:o
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k182/Jon_minis/Clean-1.jpg)
Soz the pics ain\'t all that, i need to invest in a camera:rolleyes:
Just done some bits to the inside!!

Whats the spec under the bonnet then? :wave
Any chance you could give us a little talk through about what you\'ve done and why?
also is the first pic of the handbrake where you\'re gonna mount it? Been wondering about the position for a while..
I was thinking;

Ignore the laptop and crap etc.
Ok Ben!?! its being mounted on the tunnel but bolted to the body, if you look you can see from the first pic what i have done, and Why is to tidy up the inside!!!
Brett the engine is about 300rwhp, Vmount, 550 and 1000 injectors, 2 fuel pumps, power FC, some bigger turbo runnging 0.9bar but a GT35R coming next year. Rebuild ans some porting hopefully end of the Year, funds depending.
Ah right cool I see. (Didn\'t mean for my last post to come off as rude by the way! Just very curious as im trying to add some finishing touches to mine)
Congrats on running an FC in the EDC :), how is it compared to the silvia? (You were drifting an s13 before right?) One of Phil M\'s friends was saying they\'re a bit twitchier coz of the shorter wheelbase?
Also, you had any luck finding a bodykit yet? There\'s some on envy performance;
http://www.envyperformance.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=6446 (http://www.envyperformance.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=6446) (Pretty extreme)
http://www.envyperformance.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=6447 (http://www.envyperformance.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=6447) (Quite liking the front bumper, bargain @ £211)
-And on SRB power;
http://www.srbpower.com/gp-sports/g4/rx7-fc3s.php (http://www.srbpower.com/gp-sports/g4/rx7-fc3s.php) (Awesome G4 kit, Prob. more what you\'re looking for?)

:god :god :god Just ordered that front, cant believe iv missed that on Envy\'s site!! :Santa
Yer so much different to the S13, i drive the S13 today and its so more predictable then the FC. The FC is on lock to lock and out straight away!!! Also the FC so much faster in and round corners too, its a car full of grip and once your use to it its a right weapon compared to other cars!!!
You going to Drift/Track yours?

Dammit! I\'m planning on ordering one this week! And my fc is red too... :mad: :chat
Funnily enough, I plan on drifting my FC (nothing as serious as EDC) - and I\'ve gone from S13 to FC, although mine is an NA.
Good luck with the car. What else do you have planned for the bodywork? I\'ve been looking at Shine Auto Project stuff in the US, have you heard of it? it\'s basically \'similar\' :rolleyes: to other kits but it\'s all refinished before final moulds are taken so the fit is apparently really good on their stuff.
ps - have you done any mods to increase steering angle?

Yer iv got sprung spacers on the rack and cut the stoppers back, just had to beat the inner arch in a little to get the clearance.
Where about in Kent are ya, get ya self down Lydd on the 26th of this month there\'s a comp and practice day on. :3gears-rh
:eek :eek :eek http://www.envyperformance.com/index...roduct_ID=6447 (http://www.envyperformance.com/index...roduct_ID=6447) Is Discontinued!!!! :( :( :2Mad
Looks like i wont be gettin that now then, i need a good lookin front!!
Man! That\'s sucks :(
You could try Dan at SRB Power or the Driftworks guys can import you something??
I\'m definitely going down to Lydd. If I can get my diff welded up before hand I\'ll have a go. Otherwise, I\'ll be taking pics/video I guess.
Welded diff + winter coming up, lol :driving
ps - I\'m in Gravesend, you?

What do you mean by \'lock to lock and out straight away\'?? As in it spins a lot lol? Or its shallower steering angle means you reach full lock quickily?? :Hammer
I\'ve been building the car from the (almost) bare shell up since about march (bare engine bay and interior), using bits from a doner uk car put into a very very tidy jap shell. I decided I should make it as focused as possible (as building a car to be all things to all men just doesnt seem to work!) so that means as little weight as possible, whilst still being road legal.
Going to do a real progress report some time but it will take me days as theres hundreds of hours of work and photos to write up!
mods include;
Kazz 2-Way Diff, 3 inch straight through w/twin exit, HKS mushroom filter, rewired fuel pump, walbro 255, blitz bov, electric fan, Big Koyo Radiator, Greddy Fuel Pres., Water Temp, Exhaust gas temp and boost gauges, rolled arches, blah blah blah lol lots of other little mods.
Got a T04E turbo, Stainless T4 manifold, 1000cc secondaries and front mount IC all ready to go on once my Microtech LT10 and dash unit turn up from OZ and I get a T4 Turbo Hotside sorted!
Might have to meet up for a bit of practice!
Really looking forward to seeing it skidding up close :)

Ben Lewis, that sound like a fun bit of kit, a diff man is a good thing to have iv got a cusco 2way up mine, i mean in the steering its so fast to catch it stop spinning it a real snappy day, must be the 50/50 weight issue
