1st time rotary owner, kind of....

chunkle · July 05, 2011, 01:37:03 AM

Hey folks,

A few will know me on here (Carl Hayward, Mark Nash, Dave Royal, Lacey and others) so a big Hi to you folks and all the other MRC guys/girls. I\'m usually just \'Chunk\' but someone beat me to that username

Well, i say first time owner, mainly as i don\'t really class owning a \'88 FC EGi for 2 days proper ownership, great car, just not quite my bag.

I\'ve dabbled with a few rotarys, probably the most famous one being Pete Barbers Hayward rotary built drift car. I used the car in a British drift championship round back in 2008, it made me decide there and then that one day, i\'d get a bridgeported 13B.

Considering i\'m very much into my Nissan Skylines (I have a daily R32 non turbo and a R32 RB26 single turbo\'ed drift car) it was quite a shock to realise once i was offered the car i\'ve just aquired in swap for one of my other R32\'s that i used for drift demo\'s and occasional road use.

Anyway, the reason i\'ve joined (not fully, yet) the MRC is due to now owning a FC turbo 2, which has a Hayward rotary bridgeported 13B with a Greddy T88 bolted to it, also a Hayward V-mount intercooler set up, Apexi PFC etc etc. When i got it, the paintwork wasn\'t the best, now been fully resprayed by a bodyshop sponsor (Hart motors in Leicester) it looks awesome.

It will be making it\'s way to Hayward ASAP to get mapped then having a few little tweaks at my garage to the suspension/steering etc.

Currently, i have no pics, apart from a couple when i collected it, some of you guys may know the car.....

It now has original turbo 2 wheels back on it, a new fresh coat of white and no decals. I intend to put the \'turbo II\' decals back on the front wings and i have also got a spiller for the front bumper, there will be no fibreglass kits fitted to this..... street sleeper (apart from the noise) FTW!!

I\'ll keep you all up to date with the FC\'s progress. It\'s first outing will be at Awesomefest at Mallory park on 29/30/31 July.

Cheers

Rich

m1tch · July 05, 2011, 06:03:13 PM

Welcome in, it seems that I have been beaten to the post for a Hayward rotary BP engine, Hayward rotary V mount and T88

Let me know what numbers you get, will be interested in what you get out of yours to see what I will get out of mine.

m1tch · July 05, 2011, 06:39:00 PM

I think thats also the FD UIM with FC lower LIM with FC/FD convertor Carl bought off me as well lol *sigh* let me know what sort of power it it makes then I can find out what my car would have made.

Prof · July 05, 2011, 06:45:42 PM

Hi Chunk - long time no see !

I never thought you\'d be in an FC mate - but good on you - and it looks nice too !

Hope to see you and the car at some point

Prof :cool

Would be interesting to see what power it is putting down

chunkle · July 07, 2011, 12:46:51 PM

Many thanks for the welcome.

Booked in to see Carl in a couple of weeks, so i\'ll hopefully get everything all sorted map wise, then maybe do a test day at Mallory on the 21st before Awesomefest.

Lacey, hard work and being somewhere at the right time

, this one i swapped a Skyline for. So my wallet didnt get hurt..... yet!! Haha

Hey Prof, for sure, I\'ve always had a soft spot for FC/FD\'s, just never been the right time to own one, be good to catch up fella, say hi to Eileen from me.

m1tch, will keep you informed bud. Hopefully will be all good to go in a couple of weeks.
