SChopping for an FD.

I know what you mean Russ. On mine the kit is matched with a AD Facer II bumper with bumper canards. Rear bumper is stock with RE-A Diffuser. Edit; Attached pic to make it easier!

Also, found a pic of a white FD with the same styled kit. You\'re right, it doesnt actually look too bad at all. Pic attached below. The Greddy 9 front bumper would also look much nicer with all the optional carbon bits. It all become\'s difficult to choose from!

BTW, is it the RE-A Wangan spoiler you\'re speaking of?

Freddy
one of my chops actually started from that white car.

I meant I would like to combine your sides.
but i like this rear spoiler, I saw heaps second hand in Japan for about 1000yen

The RE-Wangan spoiler is an aquired taste. Some either love or hate it!

I had it on my below Panspeed FD. Some days I liked it, others days I didnt. In the end I replaced it with a GT wing. However, if I do end up keeping the Panspeed FD. I will probably replace the GT wing back to the RE-A Wangan spoiler.

Incidently, what do you think of the Panspeed fender arches?

Thats the baby...

Freddy, Is that the car that came from kaizousha originally?
Are you going to put a diffuser on it?

Panspeed stuff I like. Their front bars are awesome. and I think their turbo set ups are very clean.
Their fenders have that hard edge which I dont think suits the FD though. The front ones seem to be set too high on the pan. On Their race car, which was about 4 inches lower than normal, they looked great cause the tire was cut into the fender a lot higher, but on the road car, they seem a bit too big. The rears seem just stick on.
Still cool though.

I went to their workshop and it was a mess. Stuff absolutely everywhere.
But had a good look at their red demo car. I like the little pan-speed mirrors.

But they seem to still produce great stuff.

Nooooo I am not a fan of the \'buffet table\' spoiler at all.

However it looks alright on your white FD Freddy.

Russ, I\'m guessing if you\'re asking if my Panspeed car came from Kaizousha? It didnt. Came from USS Tokyo.

The quality of Panspeed kits are really good. I ordered some stuff last year and there was very little fiddling required to fit. The front bumper look\'s mean and allow for plenty of air.

I know just what you mean about the fender\'s. It gives a GT sort finish at the front, where as the FEED, RE-A are much more curved. You can actually get one with an even higher raised fender arch from Panspeed - although I have never seen anyone going for it!

We went to RE-A shop in Narita and they had stuff everywhere too. All good stuff.  

Interesting you mentioned about the turbo setup. The Panspeed car was having it\'s engine overhauled here. The quality of the polishing of the ports was very good and the overall single turbo set up done by them was neat. Last I heard, Panspeed offer a drop off in the morning and collect in evening rebuild service.  

Better pic of front bar and fender and pic of spoiler removed and fitted with GT wing.

Freddy,

I looked again at the Pic I have of the Pan car.
It has the earlier model bar.

I modded a few more pics last night. I\'ll post later.

USS. cool. First time I went there, I creamed, soo many cars.
I liked touring the car parks in their mini bus.

What the hell is the removable centre part of the front bar for?
I never under stood. I though maybe for more downforce at the track or something? but they never run without it.
Is it for protecting the paint when your leaning into the engine bay?

I think the service culture is just very good in Japan.
I had a clutch replaced at the mazda dealer.
It died at 5pm dropped it in at 6pm.
I had a new one in by 11am the next day.

Russ.

The mini bus part of USS is fantastic! Car\'s to be seen as far as you can see.

When I got my Panspeed front bumper. I recieved the panel on the front bumper seprately. Basically, the idea is you can mount some rods and adjust the angle/height of that small section for downforce purposes whilst on track. I just bonded mine to the rest of the bumper however!  

Look forward to seeing the next range of modded pics!
