FD progress

[Miguel]

The Wangan is boring, as are the others... Mostly straight line speed.

I prefer corners and mobile chicanes (Taxis)!

I haven\'t posted any pics of it anywhere recently. These are the first since some recent changes.. It does feature on the DVD - quite a bit of course...

...But there\'s a much better DVD in the making... Camera crw arrives 8th July for 10 days of filming and we have loads of interesting stuff already filmed too...

Anyway, best say no more, as I think I\'m hyjacking this thread otherwise...shhhh!

Thanks for ya pics Miguel, looks like I\'ll have to swap the Feed front end now eh!!;)

Nice insight into the Tokyo scene at presenet - although I do feel for the guy whose FD got written off.

Now I\'ve spent a fair bit on looks I\'m going for the performance upgrades, so a V-mount will be on the cards next after all!! Like yourself I see the stock twins are more than enough on the bends with the right suspension setup. Going to look into the car braces and sway bars now.

Hope to see your new DVD aswell - when do you expect it to be released?

Thanks for the tip about the interior plastic, I found that out when I originally went for it as anything you put on it will break down over the years. It\'s most important to remove as much of the silicon build up as possible otherwise the paint just chips away.

Hi Lee, yeah would be cool to get the rex down at the D1 day - I\'ll check out the details.

Cheers

I see! I wouldn\'t know, never been to Japan...just picked up some names from various websites etc.

Looking forward to seeing the new DVD too...and i haven\'t yet seen the \'old\' one! Only just set up a paypal a/c yesterday!

Sorry to hear about the accident...at least no-one was really seriously hurt. And good call on the blind corner! Thanks too, as Ben said, for the insight. Sounds incredible (if a little dangerous!).

Yeah, I can imagine things getting close at times but I know people who have crashed here doing a bit of street racing.

Hows this for close...

I can vouch first hand for the ability of Miguel\'s FD to blow away cars.
cornering ability is absolutly mad for a street car.
and ride does not suffer.
C1 is amazing but you have to know where your going.

GTR.. Tough in a straight line but close right in under corners.



I won\'t be buying anything else.

A set of bilsteins and S-(sticky tires) will do.

Ben, As for your car. It\'s now original.
And will look MAD!

Cheers Rextreme!

What\'s best to go for - new rear strut brace (to replace the original one) or go for a rear roll cage?

Also any recommendations for sway bars and car braces? I\'m having my bilsteins uprated to coilovers and have 400lbs front and 350lbs rear springs (I think it\'s that way)? This sound right?
