Finally finished.....

[gyles18]

well after a lot of trouble, money, waiting....etc.....my car is nearly there.....

ive had her for about 2 and a half years now and after various troubles, 2 engine rebuilds etc she\'s practically there!
ive had a lot of patience with it but i feel its worth it now.....
ive still got a few bits missing. im waiting on an re-ameimya rear street diffuser, a mazdaspeed front upper strut brace and it also needs to be mapped (next friday)

my aim for the car was to turn it into a kind of gt car. i do a lot of travelling to the continent so i wanted something with a bit of power and not to outrageous.
i think ive finally done that. its a very lovely drive, fairly quiet when your just cruising and a lovely note when you put your foot down. rides well and doesnt leave you feeling to battered when you get out the other side!

niceeeee real niceeeee, luving the 99 spec looks

[Bobbit]

Looking very nice bud, you must be a very happy bunny now!.
Can I ask on this pic why the pipe from the tubby to the I/C curves round the ast? I was wondering why you\'d not have a straight pipe to reduce lag?

[reeph]

Excellent car and excellent choice of exhaust, does everyone you know hate the sound of it too?

[batman]

how wierd was going to ask same question why the bendy bit
 
looks real nice tho

[Ada7]

Was going to ask that too :rollin
Does look nice. Like the matching carbon sill covers and side skirts.
Another thing i\'ve noticed is why do all owners of Fd\'s with sunroofs have to open them when taking pictures :p

ahh yeah, that annoys me a little bit too....but the reason for that is because the turbo sits to high..... so you cant fit a straight pipe because the bonnet wont shut. a couple of mili seconds lag doesnt bother me, its nutty enough

[davyv]

What power are you getting atw with that setup, and with what boost.

[christmas]

looks nice...what intercooler is that??

[gyles18]

dont know the power......its getting mapped at wgt on friday next. they say they expect about 420 at the wheels with 1 bar of boost and all the supporting mods.....ill let you know when its done though.
im only going to run about 0.8 max as i cant afford for it to blow up again......

its a PWR one that i got from re-worx.....
works a treat (no pun intended )

[davyv]

What size hot side on the turbo did you go for

[christmas]

420bhp is nice!
 
ahh...ill get shopping..i like it!

[Nik da Greek]

Looking awesome, Gyles, glad you got it all sorted at last...except the wastegate spring, yeah? :2Mad Bet it\'ll be fantastic when it\'s all mapped up and flyin\' :Thumbs-up

[FDAsh]

Loving that, very nice.

Gonna look very similar to mine when I\'m finished too, but in red.
