Wider

[Initial-D]

Hiya, the on going saga of my car continues! I finally had my arches flarred out on the front to accomadate my rims, with the plan of going round corners and over bumps without rubbing.

Rather than go for an FRP widebody kit I thought I\'d take a risk and have the originals sliced and welded in aluminum which is a bit stronger. The fronts are 90% there, just need a touch up (was painted so I could make it to the Pod) whilest the rears have yet to be started.

Also added the upper CF canards.

Im going to totally want you car when your done with it  Might try to get along to Dartford tomorrow and have a look at that in the flesh.  

Im in Colchester in the day though having the Nissan fixed.  If time co-incides ill drop in on the way home but if im early im not going to drive home and come 50 miles back to teh meet in the evening as its a bit much.

Its been awhile since I last saw ya mister! But I can understand you not making it, would make for a long day all that driving.

I met up with Ben on Sunday for the trip up to Santa Freeze, oh hang on it was Santa Pod.

The front looks mad, but I think the rears need pulling out some.

Yeah I have a few problems at the moment.  I havnt driven the FD for about 2 months now.  Not driven since the rebuild a month ago either due to factors beyond my control, and still cant drive it at the moment

If I come along Ill try to remember to bring you Dori Ten 27 on CD.  Really not sure how long the Nissan is going to take to fix though.

Was having a good look at your flares at the Pod, thought the workmanship looked quality!  Sorry I couldn\'t catch you.

First time I\'ve seen it in the flesh and it looks gooood

Are canards illegal?

Do you have any probs with your rear diffuser?

Great looking car mate.

[Fish]

I dont think the canards are illegal, as you cannot get caught on them. I think they dont like stuff that would hook you up to the car.

Was talking to a mate (copper) and after his initial WTF are they - he came to the conclusion that as long as it doesn\'t protrude outside the width of the car it should be alright. Which they don\'t! I did have a loverly lady met officer eye up my car whilst I was going onto the M25 - I thought they where gonna pull me!;)

What probs with the diffuser Feed boy? It collects stones if thats what you mean!:rollin

The rears are still to be done, I\'m told it\'ll be easier as theres more surface area to play with. But we shall see. I\'m happy with the front and it means I get to keep the brake ducts - maybe get some large RE Amemiya ones I had my eye on too... no must stop spending!!:D

Thanks for the comments, most appreciated! Spurs me on to do more tweaks!:cool

See some of you folks down at the Dartford meet tomorrow hopefully, although I doubt we\'ll see much as the nights have really drawn in now!

Provided they dont have sharp edges and do not protrude to far from the car they should be legal.

initial d you ever thought about removing the orange part of the 99spec indicators looks goos once it is done!!

[Initial-D]

They\'d break off before they start chomping away at ya leg. Although that theiory hasn\'t been tested!;) :p

Volunteers?

I always understood them to be illegal, like the old jag embelms, if you hit someone with them they would be like razors.
I am fitting mine with allen screws so easy take off on road and quick put on for track n shows.
