Title: Started 2015 Mods to FD
Post by: C J R on March 20, 2015, 06:53:13 PM
So, as the weather is getting a bit warmer, I decided to start a few of the mods I have in mind for the FD in 2015.

Started with the front splitter and canards.

Have an idea for the rear diffuser, but can't start that yet.

Plan is to have everything finished in time for Japfest in May.

Mines still rough around the edges. Redesigned my pedal box and gone with a wilwood setup with a custom hanging bracket (only in T1 prototype at the minute).

Finally got some memory for my dash too and piggy backed the wires from my brake bias sensors into the dash (and ordered another sensor for the clutch pressure) so the telemetry will have braking pressure too. Seriously interested in the GPS add on too :)
