Hi Chris,

Diffuser\'s from RE-Amemiya (We can supply one for your\'s too)!

It\'s not the turbo, but the side seals on the engine which are worn, causing blow by when the engine\'s used hard on the track... It doesn\'t do it on the road at all, so it\'s not in need of sorting yet... I tend to use the AE86 on the track, since it\'s more focussed and challenging - less forgiving than the rex... :spank

Today a friend told me he personally knows Tanaka one of the mechanics who built the Le Mans rotary engine and apparently now works as a Ferrari technician, but still has a main passion for rotaries. If I can wangle it, I think I may have to meet this guy and persuade him to refresh and port my 13b... as apparently he\'ll do it very reasonably priced...

It would be a crime not to!!!

Tuning never stops.... :evillaugh

They\'re some great pics, the Rex is looking phenominal as always.

What type of front strut brace do you have Miguel?  It looks titanium from the pics, who makes it?

[rextreme]

Well,
The M3 looks great. Silver is good colour for a luxury/sports car I think.
I dont think you need to do anything except change that red gear boot.
( I bet you probably have one on order already )

My friend just bought a "brand new" BMW 3 series with Mkit but its no M3
It cost him $90KAUD for a 2.0litre.. its madness
Now they depreciate like crazy...
Has some cool bits like built in Nav and Bluetooth that hooks into the stereo but the nav system was a $5K upgrade!

Somehow buying used definately has its advantages.

FD rebuild! Now theres something you dont hear every day...
Do it! You know its going to become more of an animal.

Amazing car(s) you have tere Miguel. Must be such hard work stopping yourself going over board with getting stuff for your car seeing as it\'s all off the shelf... kinda

Strut Brace is by AB Road - It\'s Titanium.

Reextreme - never thought I\'d hear you be complimentary of anything other than a rotary, lol.... !

Ada7 - It used to be worse, I used to fall in love with a car each week!!!
But not any more...Luckily I only have 3 parking spaces to use and have to  to buy cars and parts over long periods of time, otherwise I\'d have a collection and be bankrupt (But happy!) by now!  :InLove  :rollin

Well if you ever get bored of yours then feel free to send it my way. :p (i\'m sure you get comments like that all the time :rollin)
Might have to give you a buzz once i get sorted so you can find me my next dream machine

Have you ever added up what the FD has cost you over the time you\'ve had it? and then what that would cost us back here? Or is it to frightening to think about? :rollin

 :eek  :eek  :eek No, but over 5 years it probably amounts to enough to have bought a decent Porsche.. (But still a long way from the cost of a GT-3 RS)

I console myself in the thought I couldn\'t ever save that to buy a car much even if I tried... I have weak knees and a big heart for some mechanical things.

I cannever sell it  :p

Migs,
You know there are a few quirky cars I have soft spots for.

My Mx5 was a great little car, i\'d have another but only if it had a screaming b16A.

And I always had a soft spot for these.
As seen in the original Mad max. v8 351 My brother had one standard and they are a bestly vehicle. as for owning one... maybe not.


nice article. http://www.falcongt.com.au/XBGT2-Wheels-Test.html

Cars looking good Miguel,

Its nice to see you have kept the original shape of the FD rather than putting on a bodykit to change it. The FD looks awesome with 99 spec stuff anyway.

Shame the pics werent taken with your new seats in.

Looks very good and extremely shiny !!!

What suspension are you running on the car and are they 17s or 18s ? The wheels fit the arches well and the car doesnt look speedbump low.

Bet keeping those wheels clean is a full time task !!!

I can vouch for how good Mig\'s FD looks, sounds and goes.

Migs, Kat and I had a great time, the FD was great, as was teh SP-2. Hope to get out again sometime.

gmogle:

Suspension\'s custom built Bilstein coilovers and springs, dyno\'d and set to use in combination with advanced recoil anti roll bars and S-Tyres.

Wheels are 17" - Tyres are less expensive and more readily available that way.

Ride height\'s just right for not grounding out as it goes up / down the ramp on our drive, or on Supermarket car parks, rough roads, etc.

Mazdaspeed MS-01\'s are super light - but get dirtly like any. Being of a simple design they are simple enough to wash with enough space to get inside the spokes to wash there too, although I need to roll the car a few metres to get access to the areas obscured by the callipers.
