It was once red but Top Secret re-sprayed it the gold/orange colour. These are the pics from when the car was in japan.

Ive just done a dribble:yes
Ah wow you bought this, saw this on driftworks......absolute car porn !!!!!!
A brilliant choice mate !
how cools it that - nice bit of work :cheers
looks awesome, i dont usually like gold or yellow but that colour looks really good :yes
woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
thanks for the coments guys, i fell in love with this car as soon as i saw it and had to buy it.
I was actually looking for an FD at the time but this converted me :-)
Yeah I agree with you mate, I considered selling my fd for that.
A real piece of history with that car too !!!
Wow, very jealous, saw it in Banzai and then later on the Driftworks website. Almost **** a brick when I saw the price. Just amazing.
That would be mine right now if I wasnt hemorrhaging money to finish of my project FC. :) Lucky man, and congrats for bringing Inada\'s beaut FC into the country, now look after it! (Or I\'ll TWOC it :D)
Oh My God.
Give!
Now that is rather nice :cheers
Saw it in Banzai too, annoying though as the Power vehicles site you cant view unless you are a trader ???? somewhat annoying :Grrr
stunning, whats the spec
Pimp.........
stunning car
I\'ve looked at this thread 3 times now, and each time I like this car more and more and more. I wasn\'t sure about the colour but it is defo growing on me and I bet it looks even better in the sun shine.
Sweet looking car, cant wait to see her.
hehe im glad you all like, cant wait for my next paycheck so i can start throwing some work into her.
Its running on Kei Office Coilovers but other than that the car is totally standard. It was re-built 6 months by RE Amimeya ands hardly been used sinse.
Only thing is im not keen on the mirrors, what you guys reckon? I\'d rather take them back to standard but not sure if it will go with the kit :-s
Woodsy
Totally mate, get rid of them mirrors....... and sell em to me:mmmm :Giggle
haha ok G@ndy (G@ndy), ill keep you in mind :-)
lovely car, all it needs is some nice big power figure ;-)
what is the kit called and where can i get it,stunning.
The kit is the Prototype Bomex Aero Kit resprayed by Top Secret 2. Before i owned the car it was actually used to demo this particular kit (apparently :-s)
Its in this months Banzai magazine. Page 56. Not a big write up but it gets a mention and a pic.
Thats a lurverly car! :cool :cool
Ive spread the FC love. Got a friend in the same village as me who just brought one too :-)
Theres now 2 of us in the space of about 2miles that own them.
Anyone know when the next show is? looking forward to getting them all together :-)
Ahh mr woods indeed u have spread the fc lovin, but alsa u spread it and i gt it! and now u must b soooo jittery as i let u bhind the wheel of mine 2day! i will admit a classa ct of a car and ur makes mine look kinda short standing but ehn agen who can beat it! amazing cars! gt my bk end out 2 day 4 lots of fun fun fun! but gt 2 keep it kinda tame as i cnt afford to loose this car! lol
Good plan, dont put this one in a wall eh? :Hammer
yeah loved driving yours, got me in the mood :-D i\'ll return the favour when mine arrives
Hardy Hardy Har Har! look im not impressed with writing off my teg but it enabked the move onto this lovely machine! adn hey i gt u dribblin!
the back lights are different to mine and a lot nicer too,are the just on the imports or can i get some from a later uk car?
as far as i know they are one of the perks of the JDM spec but i dont see why you cudnt source some and fit them to yours. May need a slight bit of modifying but id say its possible :-)

I believe they are import ones only, to fit a square reg plate. There are some for sale on the Crescent auction website at the moment. I agree they do look better.
-and they fit straight onto any fc. I did a bit of modifying to my JDM lights; removed the right hand clear reverse lens (with a drill and dremel!) and glued in the red lens from my UK car... (very far from-) instant rear fog! Now theres no need for those cheapo \'screw me to your bumper\' conversion kits. Just wired up the fog switch and security LED by the arm rest to come on with it, and the jobs a good un
:eek: Ahhh yer man, whats a tool you got!! :eek
I see this a wile ago and thought it was sooo nice!! Will be good to see it out and about.!!:Thumbs-up
Whats your plans for her?!
haha thanks mate, looking forward to taking her to some meets.
Im planning to first tighten up the handling, she\'s already on coilovers so thats a good start. Then i\'ll be looking for a big break convertion and finally maybe an engine change.
I havent done my research yet but id like to drop the TT engine in from an FD. anyone know if this is possible without having to totally re-modify the engine bay?
After all this she\'s ready for some track days :Thumbs-up

The engine swop will work but is the FC engine really fookied??
Leave your stock brakes alone. Until you start getting brake fade, your stock setup is good enough. Get some Wilwood EXP 600 Plus fluid and some Hawk HP+ if you really want to spend money on your brakes. Hell, buy yourself some Castrol SRF brake fluid if you want to bling the car out. Fluid and pads should always be addressed first before rotors and calipers.
Yes you can make the Rew engine fit. You need the engine loom, ecu (assume apexi + mod\'s) new engine mount\'s. There is a lot more to it that that though. A chap on this forum (T2Rew) has done it :Thumbs-up
Ah ok, obviously ill be doing alot more research before taking on such a project. Nothing wrong with my current engine, just something im guna be thinking about in the future :)
It\'s something I wanted to do before plans for the FC changed. The Rew has quite a few little differences which add up to a lot in the end :)
dum dee dum, dood sewn enuff u will have her and then our weeks will b full of meets, driving 4 fun and finding that abandoned airfield she mentioned 4 drift and drag fun! lol lets hope the 200sx can keep up! lol
haha as much as i love martins 200, NO CHANCE! hahaha
Rotary power rules baby. Thanks for letting me drive yours again bud :)

There is not a lot of point in fitting a TT FD engine, you can get virtually the same power from yours with the right turbo and porting. Just fit the FD stationary gears when its built. Search through some of my old posts on my FC build. Even T2REW will talk you out of the FD engine swap, I have worked on 2 FC/ FD swaps. Very minor differences but they make it a pig to fit.

If you are going to bother doing that, fit an RE engine, it fits easier and is actually a better engine.
Ok Tony thats great. I\'ll probs have a bit of a chat with you closer to the time. Maybe you could give me a hand with some of the work. This is my first rotary and wanna do as much hands on as poss but cud do with someone that knows what their doing for some guidance :)
dooooood in all seriousness gt rid and i mean burn or rid sum where of those wing mirrors
i know i know! they\'ll be off the car as soon as i get it and get some replacements.
Anybody want em???
I quite like them actually (the mirrors) hmmm,
QuoteAnybody want em
:rolleyes:
i like them aswell - would be great on my cab ( and make it a bit narrower to get up the drive way :D )
Stu
well if someone wants to swap for a set of standards id be more than happy to do that :-)
Just a quick update.
Had an email from the exporter who have loaded the car on the boat and watched it set off :-) great news apart from the fact that the port staff have somehow managed to break the door mechanism and are having to ship it with the window open :-(
I knew things wouldnt be as easy as i first thought. Nevermind, im just excited its on its way.
Hope everyones xmas was a good one
Oh i think someone asked a little while ago where the bodykit came from.
