Hi everybody, just become a paid up member for the first time and thought I would introduce myself, my name is ben and I\'m from wadebridge, cornwall. I first become a rotorhead back in January 2009 when I brought a faded red fc3s t2 series 4, I paid £650 tax and tested and ever since then I\'ve become addicted to fc\'s, to be honest I think a crack habit would of been cheaper :). After doing some work on the car I relised that it was a bit of a rust bucket and needed some work doing, I basically sprayed it matt black with rattle cans, stuck a boost controller on it and sold it on for £1800. I went for about 6 months without an fc and started getting serious withdrawel issues. I managed to pick up an fc3s cab series 5 from London and as soon as I drove it back from London i decided to sell up my 180sx gtr project and put all my money into that. This is where I\'m at today really, I\'ve made a few mods to my new pride and joy but I\'ll go into that in the project threads. Well that\'s enough about me, I look forward to meeting all of you in the future.
Now remember kids, don\'t smoke crack. Buy an fc ;)
welcome aboard

And here\'s some pics of my new fc, it did have standard bbs rims on but i had a set of 16" rays i decided to put on after having it for a week.

Then a friend of mine offered me these 18" rims for a good price, i also fitted a set of bc racing rm coilovers with inverted dampners and a greddy extreme exhaust system with greddy downpipe. before doing all of this i had fitted hks induction kit and hks EVC 5, ive brought a Bee R rev limiter but haven\'t got round to fitting it yet. here\'s some latest pics of the car

The car is in good condition but could do with a few touch up\'s and a new roof, im planning on fitting a bodykit and a new roof before the summer comes in :)
looks good. the red one reminded me of my fc :\'(

Hi & Welcome to the MRC :driving
Thanks guys and happy new year to yourselfs, hope it\'s a good one :)
Love the matt black look
cheers mate, it did look nice, i plan on getting another one and doing the same ;)
Nice to see another Cab on here and glad you stuck with the FC addiction. Any cab bits or info you need then let me know, you can chase my thread to see if anything might help as I have now stripped and rebuilt two of these cars to the shell and scrapped 3 of them so i know how they get put together,especially the roof and internal stuff. I have plenty of trim bits you can have if you need them.

thanks for that pete, i may give you a tinkle when it comes to fitting the roof ;) lol. i have to admit i do admire your work, you\'ve done a fine job on your car and i would say its one of the finest in europe. keep up the good work :)
