Finally the day I have been waiting for weeks now.
Flat battery wont stop me.

I also came across manual boost controller.  Anyone knows how it works and how to use it?

Her she is:

But in black right ;)

Love that kit. Have no clue about aero stuff, is that an RE A front? think the lights would need lenses and not sure of the mirrors. But love the skirts and bonnet and wing :)

Front has to be RE-A aswell as side skirts and ofcus keeping the car mat black. I agree with the lenses.... without them it just doesnt look right. Anyhow will see when it all comes here.

Love the wheels as well and almost similar to the style I want for mine, nice and deep rims at the back, gives it a really mean but graceful attitute.  The mirrors are RE ones by the look, sold a pair to Grinder for £50!!  worth double that but you are buying the name as there is really nothing to them.  Looks like we are going to have some really nice FC\'s on the roads and at shows.  Its about time we started to out do the FD\'s on numbers.

so far 3 issues with my FC....   Looks like clutch needs to be replaced, air pump is very noisy and battery doesnt charge :)   Still very happy with it. Ramp is coming next week so can start with the projects.

any updates on ur black beast..?

With the manual boost controler you have found, it basically bleeds some of the pressue from the wastegate actuator so it opens later, giving more boost, don\'t touch the boost settings until you have done all the safety mods else it might go bang and you will need a rebuild...

They look like Rays.... But which ones I cant remember, think they may be LM\'s or GT3\'s.... try checking out the Rays wheels site.

Looks very nice dude. Like the kit a lot too, although i hate the lights! Does anyone know if that kit fits with standard pop up lights?

as far as im aware the front bumper will fit with stock headlights.
i think looks better with stock lights on that bumper.

ps with the stock lights u\'ll be able to see 1/2 the headlight, look kinda like sleepy eye but flush on the hood.
if that makes scense..?!:xconfused

cool car,the red one has the RE a fc2000 kit,you have to remove the standard lights to fit the bumper,you could cut the bit were the lights are and fit the pop ups but it wouldn\'t look right due to the shape,i did think about doing it to my bumper for about 2 seconds,the kit comes with clear covers for the lights,they look great on,very expensive body kit

Worth it tho. I\'m getting that kit for my TII next year, hard to find a supplier tho. There is an american company who do a VERY similar copy kit at half the price, not sure you\'d even notice the difference between the RE A copy and the re-make. If i remember who makes it i\'ll post it up.
