>>.Initial-D FD3S Completed after some probs!

[Initial-D]

Well after what seems like an age it\'s finally complete (well minus a quick dust and polish).

Sorry to J4PRX for missing the D1, and also to Shin as all was going to plan until yesterday/thismorning!!

Yesterday I got the wheels fresh from Japan and proceeded to get them fitted - obsticle no 1 - waiting 3 hours before getting them on! Then fiddling with the coilovers for height - unfortunatly not enough time to get it right so it was left on the low side. Scraping my way back home my car decided to get very hot and cut out!:eek: (no coolant buzzer either)!

So pull over and open the bonnet to discover my AST tank had a tube that had popped off spitting steam everywhere! Next prob was getting some coolant - So another 45mins wait for the RAC to bring me some - after using nearly half his supply of coolant I turned the key and she fired up fine - phew!!:o

Drove back home to affix my vinyls. Then aftr getting up at 6am this morning I started putting all my interior back in... and finished at 9am when Banzaigang rolled up to go off to Silverstone, so off we went....

Then horror or horrors every lump bump and 10mph corner caused extreme rubbing - so much that it pulled the steering!:eek:  Looking under the arches revealed molton tire! Down to the extra weight of the interior and my fat bro and the suspension settling over night!

So unfortunatly I had to turn back before my car ate all the rubber! Surfice to say I\'ve now had it heightened and I can now actully turn corners without rubbing

But it all came to late and I missed out on the show at Silverstone - Sorry guys!!

Here\'s some pics of my car as it would\'ve looked at the show!!

As that the V2 nose as opposed to the V2-R Ben?

Looking good mate, can\'t wait to race it in the flesh.

Hiya, thanks for the comments:cool

Front nose is a FEED type 2 with optional CF canards - the lighst are smoked 99 spec. The other Feed type 2 R has the two lower lips joined and it arcs up slightly in the centre.

Still can\'t believe I missed out on Silverstone! But I\'ll be at JAE next weekend for sure!!:D

Race eh Gman?! I\'ll see you at McD\'s on Sat!!

Excellent work.

Only one question

What offset are the rears.

They look a little wrong to me.
