My FC!

[mukumu kurubushi]

Hi guys,

I think its time I introduced myself and posted up a few pics of my car

I know this was previously owned by someone on here, so I hope you\'ll be glad to see it making a return! This is by far the best and coolest car I have ever owned and hopefully I can learn a few things about these amazing cars to keep it that way.

My current plans for it? Not a lot needs doing! Needs lowering a little at the front. I\'ve got a black face Apex\'i boost gauge on its way which should help diagnose how well the current set up is running (air filter + exhaust - should be getting around 0.6bar? someone correct me if i\'m wrong!).

Once i\'m happy everything is running smoothly, I guess the next stage is an ECU + map. On the subject of ECU\'s what are my options? I\'ve heard the PFCs are the best but super rare/pricey?

Then once the turbo gives up, replace it with something medium-sized. I\'m aiming for around 300 - 350hp. I think that\'ll be plenty enough for a fast road car

Anyway, enjoy the pics:







And here\'s my 8" knob!

Didn\'t this car sell a while back? I remember seeing it for a stupidly low price

Haha yellow ftw! I did consider a respray to white at some point in the future, but I like the yellow its unique and it was done by Top Secret in Japan, would be a shame to undo all their good work!

Thank you! Yes I did find the old for sale thread on here, but I bought it from EDC driver Pete Barber (top bloke). I didn\'t quite get it as cheap as the original price however still a bargain in my opinion

[dthebuk]

Isn\'t he trying to give away his 3 rotor still?

ah wasn\'t the car done by another company too? or owned by one of the main people at top secret or something? anyway, famous FC. I love the  body kit, though i think the trim on the sides needs blending in to fit with the kit. Just my opinion.

[TiddlesRX7]

Yeah this is one damn fine FC. Was lookin forward to seeing it at Rotorstock this year but I think Woodsy had to sell before then or was away or something. I was quite tempted to sell mine and buy this one when it came up for sale actually. Anyway bring it to Rotorstock this year!

Yep, he is giving it away for 8500 irc, the entire car! crazy cheap in my opinion :Hammer. That motor has an awesome sound.

Yep, It was previously owned by Dai-chan from Option. Also has a re-build by re-amemiya. Bomex kit fitted by bomex themselves, you can see my car on their website, back when it was in japan http://bomexaero.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=24_25

I will do! in July isnt it? I\'m sure i will be a paid-up member soon. Is there a club stand for this event?

haha! thanks :Laugh It\'s definitely a conversation starter!

Took a while getting used to shifting with it! I had to import it, they seem to be quite hard to find over here but i wanted to go for something different, outrageous and quirky and jdm to fit in with the car. I\'ll have to get a wacky replacement gaiter to match!

btw noticed your avatar, good taste in music  :Thumbs-up

[Jimi_Hendrix]

Ha ha, cool car man! Looks hot! Bomex kit isn\'t it? I almost bought that from the guy who was selling it on here until i got the chance at my black Turbo II!
 
JDM FTW!
 
BTW was there some issue with it not running full boost all the time? The seller told me it had a boost solonoid? problem. That and a knacked out lecy window motor, did you manage to fix them up ok?

[TiddlesRX7]

Not knockin your choice of car but what? You didn\'t buy this car and you had the chance. (I know its not to everyones taste being Mustard yellow and all but hey) This is one awesome lookin FC TII. Your car is mint by the way, that must be why you chose yours over this one surely?

Ha ha, its cool man. Yeah you pretty much hit the nail dead on there! I didnt know a THING about ratary engines or RX7s at the time (Still dont!) so i figured i\'d play it safe with a bog standard well looked after one.
 
This one was a Jap import as well which i was having trouble getting cover for.

[richrx]

Yeah I know what you mean. I\'m still learnin my way with the rotary. I don\'t think you ever stop learning with these cars. But I tell you one thing, Modding them is very very addictive.
