Quote from: Jimi_Hendrix;568361Ha 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?

Cheers man

Yep, its a full bomex kit. Unsure about the spoiler though, I\'ve only seen another like it on one of the Risky Devil cars in the states.

I think there might be something up with the solonoid, but its difficult to tell, I\'ve ordered up a nice Apex\'i boost gauge to replace the stock one so i can tell exactly whats going on.

I remember someone on here saying I should be running about 0.6bar on a standard turbo with air filter and exhaust?

The electric windows work fine though!

Quote from: richrx;568475its a great lookin car there dude, not sure about your gear nob tho :o

richard

Haha, thats ok. Its not everyone\'s taste but its definitely a bit different!

I do need to replace the tatty old gaiter now though. Is there anyone here who has the skills to make new ones?

Quote from: adereed;568531Yeah 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.

Very true, i think it\'s going to be an expensive 2009 for me, but a lot of fun

I got a new digital camera for christmas :Santa so hopefully i\'ll be posting up more pics in future!

I think its a RE Amemiya spoiler. Or a copy of one. Glad to hear the cars good though! Lol! And bring on the pics!:Thumbsup!

Plenty of people who will copy the gaitor, I am going to get mine copied and maybe i will get them to copy a dozen or so and then pass them on to the FC owners on here.
The colour of the car is lovely and really gives it some attitute, I may be biased on these bright colours now because one of my FC\'s is orange and it does give the car a different appearance. Its what the japanese cars are all about anyway, they love the pure bright colours such as the whites,yellows and the like and its only really the Jap cars that can pull it off successfully.

dthebuk · December 27, 2008, 11:33:51 AM

what d\'ya mean only the jap cars!!

theres plenty of fluorescent merks, audi\'s and bimmers about

pdtaylor18 · December 27, 2008, 12:15:18 PM

And I did say that can pull it off successfully!! German cars are swear words on here anyway....... so no swearing !!

dthebuk · December 27, 2008, 12:56:51 PM

how ironic, the whole site is based upon a german!!

Great looking car - hope to see it & you at the shows in 2009 :wave

mukumu kurubushi · January 18, 2009, 03:03:23 PM

Thought id share the latest on my car with everyone.

I installed a Greddy profec B spec-II into my FC, after doing a bit of research into EBCs these had a good reputation for being pretty solid.

Having a free flowing intake and exhaust on the car, i was occasionally hitting the fuel cut limit from the stock ECU. My next plan is to replace/piggy back the ECU soon and get it professionally mapped.

Pictures! This arrived in the post:

And with a bit of help from an adult this was the result:

I havent properly tuned the unit yet, just set some initial safety/limit settings, but i\'m quite impressed with it so far. My last recorded peak was 0.65bar

TiddlesRX7 · January 18, 2009, 08:03:23 PM

Nice one fella. Glad your doing what you can yourself, just be careful setting it up as you could do damage if you do it wrong (at least I probably would!). I will have a KnightSports ECU for sale in the next few months or so if that would be any good to you.

m1tch · January 18, 2009, 08:37:16 PM

Don\'t forget to upgrade the fueling, both pump and injectors as you will need more if you push it past the stock boost.

Cheers for the offer, i\'ll have a think about it though i\'m still doing some research into my options... Been thinking along the lines of Greddy Emanage ultimate :2eek

Quote from: m1tch;576193Don\'t forget to upgrade the fueling, both pump and injectors as you will need more if you push it past the stock boost.

Yep theyre on my todo list at some point:).

I\'ve read that the injectors start getting close to their safe output at 250hp? Not sure if its the same for the fuel pump? but i\'ll probably be aiming for 230hp for this stage.

What would be the highest power i could get from the stock turbo, and still be reliable? Id like to get around 280 if possible, then if i want more then i can start thinking about pricey turbo upgrades :bandit

I\'m also interested in this as at this point I am running stock turbo stock injectors stock intercooler stock fuel pump. I\'m running nearly 230bhp at the moment @ around 0.9 bar. The car seems to cope fine with it but as always I would like more!

mukumu kurubushi · March 07, 2009, 06:19:46 PM

Out with the old...

in with the new!

Twins would have been ideal, but i needed this quick for an MOT. as you can see from the first pic the old fujitsubo wasnt in the best condition :2eek

Im really happy with it though, fits snugly in the bumper and does sound nice too. Actually much louder than expected despite the name.

Thanks to JM Garage for sourcing this for me and sorting things out when HKS delivered the wrong exhaust the first time round! :spank:p
