Title: My Fd\'s progress so far..
Post by: ash-fd95 on March 05, 2012, 08:07:08 PM
Well this is my first post of my car, I\'ve finally got it single turbo\'d :Thumbs-up
 
I imported my car from japan early last year, it was near enough stock apart from bodywork which i havent changed. It cost more but i assumed i\'d get a decent nic car.... wrong!! Within a month it needed a rebuild. So I had it rebuilt by Carl at Hayward rotary with a large street port bought a power fc and a decat and had it tuned by Carl :)
 
After what seems like forever of collecting parts I shipped it off again to Carl for my single conversion with a v mount got it back on saturday so used ALOT of fuel sat night
:3gears-rh Sorry about the pics took them on my phone in the rain....

Good effort, Carl is a top chap to rectify your problems, gutting it neede a rebuild so early on, but couldnt have been done by a better guy ;-)
 
How\'d you do the sleepy eye thing?

Yeah I\'m pleased with how its coming along, just a few bits to sort with the exterior and i think ill be happy with it :)
 
The sleepy eyes are really easy i bought a kit off ebay for about 6 quid I think its basically a variable resistor that goes to the relay. It takes about 20 mins to fit.

yeah still fully operational from inside, I\'d have really liked them but my motors are different speeds so they dont look right
