wanted some work doing to it ie bodykit and a one off paint job so off to Stu - Scratchies on MRC for the work to begin. Many a stressed out all nighters

Then at mapping session with Max we found the turbo had a tip chucked through it so decided to go big big on the turbo front and ended up putting a GT4202 in

Few more bits to do then its finished......
Thanks again to Stu, Maz, Si, Karen,Lawrence, Ben ( Initial D ) and Jay Dee for helping and putting up with my mood swings and changing my mind with bits lol
ahhh so its your rex that the designs where for! SJS put them up on driftworks!
car looks spot on mate!
Cheers Steve
hmm that front bumper dose look the dog\'s bits! i didnt think it would look that good with out the rest of the wide arch kit, what bonnet is it mate?
dunno its a dry carbon one i bought from Martin at Speedline. Thing only weighs 3kg, so light but it is beggining to lift as the outlet pipe from the turbo to I/C is so big that Stu had to cut the vent to a custom size so it would fit. Biggest turbo we could fit under there
i heard about ur car on the forum but nvr seen it.. worth the wait.. i like.. esp the graphics.. though personally think a deeper rear bumper would look better..:Thumbsup!:Thumbs-up
Cheers for the comment, tbh i havent seen a rear bumper i actually like. I wanted to keep some of the original lines of the FD
mind if i ask for a ball park figure for ur graphix..?
all in all £700, they had it for whole day. Nice thing is they arent cut into the paint work. They are put on layer by layer to get the design you want. Could peel them off tomorrow give it a polish and it would be back to how it came out the bodyshop
cool thx.. tho dunt think u\'d be in a hurry to be peeling them off after spending that amount of money on them lol
your right there. I see as it protecting the paintwork lol
I still have the roof to do, just still trying to come up with a design for that now. Thinking a cut away of a rotary showing the rotar etc or a big red and white Japanease flag.
Thats gorgeous! I like it :)
Thanks mate
whateva u go with im sure will look fab.. come think bout it.. just ur paintwork n graphix cost more than my fc!! lol
i dunno about that. Lets just thanks to some chav on a moped trying to push past me at lights he paid for the paintjob lol
dam.. maybe i should try that.. hope some moped passes my passenger side.. can say he dented my door n get him to pay to get dents pulled out :) a respray would be a bonus!!
Love it. :Thumbsup!
