Saw this on face book and thought it was a good idea, between us all e must have very different engine bays ;)
I'll start with my first FD I modified from a standard car, some 18 years ago

Heres mine at the moment... 
As you can see, turbo setup for FD isnt bolt on swap for FC. Howerer, using electric water pump will sort that out...
I think ill use FMIC setup...
But then is problem with radiator. Screamer pipe takes lots of space from it. And I have to bring radiator abit back from its orginal position to fit FMIC way I want. Good thing is that electric fan doesent take much pace

That supercharged bay looks amazing, makes the Rotus engine bay look like a bad day in Bosnia.
I'm feeling my n/a 8 may be somewhat underpowered lol

Fair enough.....
Having never driven the 8 before I tore it apart I don't have anything to compare it to I guess.
I don't want to be disappointed with the end result, lightweight is the key in the first instance.
But I want it tractable too, no point having lots of ponies if they ain't pushing along.......
Itching to drive it, or was that from the fibreglass?
