just out of interest,

what is the paint code of the baby blue paint?

Looks very similar to Porsche Riviera blue. (L39E)

hey batman where did you get your petrol cap from and how easy was it to do?

 
the petrol cap was bought from merlin motor sport in chippenham about £60 .u need proper fuel hose as 99 ron petrol is very corrosive to normal rubber . that was the esxpensive it there about 40 quid a bend for the good stuff
 
you need two 90 degres bends a bit of straight and to jubliee clips not hard to do  just time consuming to get right . sorting the breather took longer to get right  other wise every time you corner it spat out fuel . i cut the bits myself with a dremmel not too hard . but used the standard neck off the fd for the breather add on then some welding and it works.
 i wouldnt bother unless you have a wide kit going on it took  ages to get right and quiet exspensive mod . i only did it because the add on for the feed fuel flap with the wide arches looked gash

[MaLicE]

mnnnnn gash

oooooo thread re birth decided to get some manly wheels for the car .
 
these are 18 x10 et5
 

 
yes look like a pram so decided on the 9.5s instead fronts are et20 and rears et0
 

[batman]

the body works off for a bit of repairs from a drift scar lol ready for japfest 2

[SiH]

Dude, those rears will tuck easily with a reasonable size tyre! Put the 10 et0\'s back on right now! As the wheel moves through it\'s travel it tucks on. If you\'ve properly done the rear arches you should have no iddues at all.
I run 9.5 et10 on a stock body with just a tight roll on the rear arches!
Stick some 255\'s on, and put it on the ground. depending on how much wider those rears are, you can probably go wider.

Great looking car. Well done on the amount of time and labour spent. Truely looks fantastic. I can only dream of buying a FD3S like this.

[karl_tate]

as si says. im running 10 et minus 3 at the rear with a flair.

what wheels are they??

thanks bud :Thumbs-up
 
wheels are some gorgeous rota grids in bronze love them soo  sooo much
 

 
sih i have a 20 mm spacer on the rear so when the 9.5s go on its et 0 or do i go 10s on the back with et 15 without the spacer ? cant decide im putting 225 tyres on going for some stretch:Laugh

[SiH]

If you\'re putting 225\'s on then 10 et15\'\'s at the back with the spacer.
Don\'t go for stretch if you don\'t need it - I can\'t remember how much wider those rear arches are, but I think it\'ll sit reasonably flush with a -5.

[S3TH]

Ya stretch when you don\'t need it looks like ass, you should be able to get away with a 245, possibly even 255 with the spacer, 275 without :Giggle

[fil_auto]

sweet! That\'s gonna look soooo much better ;o)
