Hi guys,
Just thought I\'d show you a little something: :wiggle

Few questions. I want to fit a 60mm boost gauge, whats the best holder?
The fuel gauge doesn\'t really work so how to fix this and how many gallons does she take?
I need a carbon fibre vented bonnet, where\'s the best supplier? Is it someone on here or eBay or what?
Where can I go about getting different headlights? The ones that don\'t pop up... Also, want to change the gauges to white ones and MPH so where is best for this as well?
Lastly, need to mount the air con as well. How\'s best in doing this on a single? :cheers
I know it\'s a :censored::censored::censored::censored: load of questions but just answer one and that way they\'ll all soon get answered! lol :Typing :Thumbsup! Thanks! :cheers
Very tidy motor! Hope it brings you many smiles. Gauge holders are a matter of taste. If its just one, the ones that sit on the steering wheel by re amemiya or greddy are quite popular. They come up for sale regularly on the forum for about £40. You may get tempted to fit an oil pressure and temperature gauge as the stock is a bit wank. You may wish to decide on all the gauges you will need as you can buy cluster holders.
aircon... you will need a new compressor i think it is as it takes the old gas.... not the new stuff...
they come up for £40? i payed double that for mine.
also when taking photo\'s, stand a bit further away and use a load of zoom. Makes it look way more badass!
Glad your happy :D
Thanks for the info guys. Yeah might get one that goes above the vents? Only need two gauges I think...
Yeah I\'ll use that tip next time James! Zoom ftw! :D
Where best to get a carbon bonnet guys? Is there a corporate seller on here who does nice ones? And what about dials? They bug me and need changing for sure! :wiggle
Oh, and a good place for a diffuser? :)
I have an aircon pump for sale in fully working order if you need one?
absolutley awesome rexxy man! great buy right there!
i need a carbon vented bonnet aswell so if you find anywhere, give me a shout and see if we can get them cheaper buying 2!!
also whats the name of that spoiler??
hi bud, just had a look at the car and wanted to know what wheels you got on it coz they look gorgeous.
Quote from: Edd1Ninety9;783676Oh, and a good place for a diffuser? :)
Best place is underneath the back of the car :rollin
*ahem* sorry, couldn\'t resist that one. Stu at KN Solutions does replicas of both styles of RE Amemiya diffusers but he doesn\'t come on here any more very much. You can find him on FDUK http://www.fduk.org/forum/showthread.php?t=7994 http://www.fduk.org/forum/showthread.php?t=9598
Never heard a bad word said about his products and top geezer to boot. Carbon bonnets you\'re probably better off searching for a secondhand one unless you fancy getting seriously raped on price new. Or buying one that fits so badly it may as well have been designed for a totally different make of car as in EPRacing, for eaxmple...
Excellent purchase, BTW, we all know this car from when Chris had it before James. Lovely sorted example, hope you\'ll be very happy together. Top marks for buying quality instead of some scary cheap eBay timebomb lol
Quote from: Edd1Ninety9;783640Hi guys,
Where can I go about getting different headlights? The ones that don\'t pop up?
leave them as they are :)
sleek lights look naff on anything that isn\'t a five metre wide Time Attack beast. low slung street cars look better with popups.

exactly my point.
It may be your car fella but i ban you from removing the pop ups!!

HaHa :rollin
Carbon bonnets are availalbe all over the webternet, just stick it google and see what you can find ;)

Should\'ve written into the confirmed sale reciept lol
Hehe we\'ll see! :P
Where can I get a sweet BGW which actually produces downforce as well? :D :D
Urgh!!!!
I might have to leave this forum.
Haha
Tehehe not happy James? :D
Didn\'t find your sensor either man!? Are you sure you haven\'t got it?
Got some opposite lock on her today in the dry, pretty frisky! :D
I\'m starting to come around to the pop ups but still not sure.
Quote from: Edd1Ninety9;785174Hehe we\'ll see! :P

well if you decide to get rid of that spoiler dude, tell me and ill have it 150%!!!:Thumbs-up:Thumbs-up
Not at all fella!
Stock look fd\'s till I die! None of this stick on rubbish.
Ah Thats cool man, found it today cheers
Whats so special about the spoiler on there atm then? It looks pretty normal to me!
See the problem is, is that it is toooooo stock for my liking. Had a chat with someone in a petrol station filling up and he loved it and so many looks when driving around town, partly guessing due to the ridiculous noise (!), but needs some aero! :wiggle

honestly, if your getting rid i will buy it, give me a price! lol

LISTEN TO HIM.
Please.
Think that spoiler\'s Racing Beat is it?
Hmmm ok, someone recommend me a sweet diffuser that provides maximum downforce and I\'ll postpone the spoiler for now! :P
No idea nik never seen it anywhere.
On a serious note Ed don\'t listen to the haters, it\'s your car do what you want. I\'ll still be hating though!
She\'s going to Reworx soon for a few tings and then it\'ll be more like I want! :D
Where are sweet diffusers man? :wiggle

Post #9 ;)
Keep it as is. One of the better looking FDs on this forum!
Quote from: Nik da Greek;785348Post #9 ;)
Thanks man!
She\'ll stay fairly as it is but I have a few changes in mind.
Two questions:
For the headlights, I\'ll keep the pop ups if you guys can show me where to get clear glass lenses? :D
And secondly, is there a bumper that looks fairly similar to stock but has a larger lower grille? Need more air through the intercooler you see. :)
Thanks! :driving
Very tidy mate! Did you get your clocks changed to mph or did you just change the colour? I\'m picking my FD up today :D and have some similar issues that will need sorting. Need a metal AST and gauges in a pillar pod or similar?
very nice, we got matching wheels too ;)
(not shown in pic above lol)

Hi mate,
I have a genuine Burnout Clear Reflectors (headlights) for sale. They are ideal for you idea. Check my thread "for sale Bournout Clear Reflectors".

Does BGW stand for Big Gay Wing?
You crazy man, there are far too many ruined FDs out there already, leave it be - looks fat just the way it is.
Save your cash for a massive turbo!
i vote....
diffuser
18\'s on the back (whith about 30 mm less offset)
bigger tyres at the front
More drop
then it will be perfect, bar the diffuser, but im never gunna win :D
actually i reckon a diffuser with the current spoiler would look awesome
Haha well we\'ll see buddy. :D
What 18s though? i love the alloys at the moment, can you get the G&S in 18 with the same style?
Was thinking I might take them off over the winter and get them widened so can fit some PHAT tyres on there to put all that power down.
With regards to drop, she\'s getting raised! It\'s almost undrivable at the moment. Already done about 200miles in her and so sick! :D :D
She\'s off to Reworx in a few weeks for a new exhaust and remap with more boost! :wiggle
undrivable what are you on about?
if i were you I\'d badger trotter on here into selling you his, he runs 18\'s
same wheels though. Thos gulfs are tasty as fook
actually if you get rid, let me know
Get rid of what? The 17s? And it bottoms out on a :censored::censored::censored::censored: load of stuff and when cornering you can hear the front lip scraping lawl. Not very practical!
I\'m planning on driving her a lot unlike you :P :P :D !
I\'m gonna get the Gulfs off over christmas and have them refurbed I think...
yea the 17\'s.
the front lip is supposed to scrape man. if you break it, get another for like a 10er!
meh, whats the point of driving her on :censored::censored::censored::censored:ty roads? tbh theres not too many places where you can drive it properly.
Also if you really do raise the front properly so you can drive it, you\'ll need to get the camber adjusted. It runs positive camber if you run it high and it handles like crap. I had it raised for a day and i just couldn\'t take it! has to be low.
Big
Daily driven FDs FTW :D! What\'s the point of a car you never use? Give it some style to the streets :evillaugh
part of the reason i sold it.
Its very hard to drive a single tub fd hard safely on public roads
Haha well I\'m going to make it more daily friendly, sound deadening and what not and raise it.
I\'ll get all the geometry sorted as well. With regards to driving it hard, I open her up a bit but I\'m going to do some more reliability mods (bonnet etc.) so then I can REALLY open her up on the track. She\'s pretty feisty and needs to be shown who\'s boss lol. Got a sweet dab of opposite lock the other day! :D

Eh? :confused: No it isn\'t. I\'ve managed a while now without dying yet. Just takes a bit of luck. Damn, I didn\'t mean luck, I meant sense. :Giggle

Good man ;)
Yeah but it IS one of the best fds I have ever seen. People want these cars for different reasons and that looks great.
Well I\'m going to put my own personal stamp on it but she\'ll remain fairly similar looking to how she is now. :)
Don\'t worry everyone!
Also, what\'s my options for a stock looking bumper with a bigger lower lip so that I can get more air through the intercooler and fit the 99 spec lights? Any help appreciated... :)
You cant really do anything with the stock bumper apart from cut out the bottom section and make a custom splitter.
I have a 99 spec bottom lip on my 93. It does fit, but not perfectly. Slightly too big at each corner but you have to look hard to notice it.
I love this FD, it should be left as it is IMO. But your car dude, do as you wish :)
Yeah what he said ^^
(minus the last bit)
Shush. It\'s my car now not James\'! :P :P

hehe, not happening bud! ;) i bloody love \'em, gonna be going on for a refurb and re-polish soon to get them back shiny new.
did i tell you that the mate i got them off got them off an RX7? Only set me back £475 for all four complete with Cupsports. Mwahahahahahhahaha :)
