Thumbs up MY FC3S, Almost Done

Hey there, I bought this FC 2 years ago to make a nice stree/track car!


Its an s4 converted in a s5 (Tail lights, cluster, engine, tranny, ecu, body/engine harness)
The winter after i got it, i tought that a suspension setup would be nice so here is what i got.

schoks KYB AGX ajustables
Coils springs racing beat drop 1''
sway bars racing beat
bushings energy suspension
end links en euretane
mags rx8 18''
power slot disks
brake pads hps plus
racing steering wheel :P
front strut bar ( Mazdatrix )
rear strut bar
new ball joints
new tie rods
Short shifter
camber kit
new 4 wheel bearings






After handling, i tought that the 160 engine would need some steroids
-TII engine swap

-Boost gauge (Autometer)

Here is a lil sound clip

I kept the N/A hood, and you can barely see the intercooler, no1 knows its an turbo engine until i pass by
Im currently runnin on 8 psi until i get my mags done and i reveive some parts that took a lil while to get shipped, then ima tune it at 11 psi for a estimated power of 265 engine HP

Id like to thank francis for makin this swap happen

hope youve enjoyed it!
