Build your dream FC! (If you won the lottery.)
 
For the sake of conversation lets just say you won the lottery. Money is of no consequence to you, and you can build your FC from the ground up from a bare frame. What components would you choose? Why? Go nuts! Lets talk about each system seperately.

-Engine

-Lube

-Cooling

-Fuel

-Electrical

-Clutch/trans/Drive train/prop/

-Suspension/Steering/Brakes

-Body/wheels/interior/Trix.

-Extras?

I'd love to see the ideas that you guys (and gals) have for going all out and doing it right when not limited by a budget.

well that's no fun...

Grip 07-28-09 06:50 PM

im allready building my "dream FC"....if i won the lottery, i wouldnt build an FC with the money. Id build a house, a huge garage, an 05 STi, an FD, and a Ratrod, id finish some small stuff on MY FC, then id park it in the garage for many years.

bikeboy23332 07-28-09 08:22 PM

Id buy jay leno's garage. buy a bed and fridge and live there. yes

Napsterfreak15 07-28-09 08:50 PM

I would buy 7 FCs. one for each day. And all of them would be different



and one one them has to have wings and can fly and has a turbine engine in the hatch

I also want one thats AWD

Hypertek 07-28-09 09:08 PM

Id have Scoot build a copy of the engine in their 4 rotor FD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBZL-GGbA4s
so id assume whatever ecu/management they run with that setup.

need RX7 07-28-09 09:08 PM

I'd start out with my current base model, I like the fact it has no sunroof and manual everything, plus I went to Texas for this rust-free example, no way I'm giving it up :lol:

-Engine
I'd buy a bungh of 13B-REs and experiment with all types of porting and build techniques (DIY). Once I came up with the optimal setup, I'd install it into the car with a GT40R and a fancy Motec ECU, running on E85 of course. I'd probably splurge for some brand new OEM housings, possibly irons too. Then a 20B when I get bored.

-Lube
Probably mostly stock, I don't think I'd really need a dry-sump setup or anything.

-Cooling
Pretty standard; Koyo radiator, maybe an upgraded oil cooler.

-Fuel
Probably 6 injectors (1600cc?) to support the E85, probably dual fuel pumps too. All lines would be black SS lines with black fittings (I hate the standard blue/red and silver SS lines)

-Electrical
FD alternator, relocate battery to one of the bins

-Clutch/trans/Drive train/prop/
A fancy twin-disc setup. Rebuilt/strengthened stock trans.

-Suspension/Steering/Brakes
5-lug conversion, Fancy-ass coilovers, Evo brakes

-Body/wheels/interior/Trix.
Stock S4 body [puts on flame suit], 626 lip modified to extend to the front wheel arch (stock ends are a little too short), a brand new shiny coat of Pure Red, 17" Work Meister S2s in the Bright Buffed Finish, A nice head unit and a single 12" subwoofer hidden away somewhere, Bride seats (not sure which model exactly), Nardi Classic steering wheel

-Extras?
A hatch full of money and sexy women who will TIIDB.


Of course, the above applies to my 'mean street car' FC. I'd also have a purpose built track car, with crazier suspension stuff and some aero (I'm pretty big on the FC2000 front end :).)

That is a truly beautiful machine.

I like the FD, for sure...however the FC is a whole different beast. I think a cherry FC really has a lot more character than an FD. I know that sounds insane, but i mean it.

rksti89 08-05-09 09:08 PM

i like your idea of a thread starter alot! so im gonna contribute but i wont do a crazy technical list ill just keep it simple

fc one: crazy base model 13b n/a build with either dual mikuni or fuel injected ITB's, full suspension from super now, chassis refresh and strengthening. stock s4 body in crystal or nobel white, with lip TII sides and re amemiya rear diffuser and GT wing.(total track car)

fc two: base with TII drop in with support mods to push 300-350hp along with the same suspension and chassis mods as previous. but in arctic silver and turbo/s5 wing.(daily driver with intentions to kill)

fc three: yet another base build but with the 13bMSP from the rx-8 this time. straight drop in no mods just the essentials to make it run optimum performance from factory with exhaust, light weight flywheel and a good clutch too. same suspension and chassis mods as previous ones. this one will be my sapphire blue touge car! :devil:

and of course to finish it off my choice of rims will be: advan model five, R32 GT-R wheels or advan RGIIs

as you can see i like the light weight factors of base models :D

shika805 08-06-09 08:39 PM

20b done deal...

Kentalish 08-06-09 08:52 PM

id get 2 fcs cut off about 5" off the passengers side on one and 5" off the drivers side on the other... put them both together and ducktape them then you have 4 wheel rwd and lots of fun with your friends... saw something like this on tom green

87base RX-7 08-07-09 01:30 AM

I say start off with a hardtop base model.

-suspension-

Havoc 08-07-09 01:40 AM

already building it.
didnt need lotto either (but would of helped)

Loose10AE 08-07-09 02:06 AM

13bre. Bridgeported. GT35R or GT37R. Stock J spec tII trans. Q16 as primary fuel. Stock body. Stock 10AE wheels with 26x10.5 ET Street radials. 4" Turbo/IC piping Haltech E8 or E6X. Cheap simple seats like JAZ racing ones. Twin 3" pipes strait back. ETC
Shoot for 500whp

I've always wanted to have a set of stock wheels widened like 3 or 4 inches, install some longer studs and space them way out so they fit flush and hide some serious rubber. Sleeper :)... unless you're looking at it from the rear :lol:.

A 10.5 inch (255mm) is wide enough for me. My mustang hooked on a 26x10.5 tire. And thats a lot of torque and hp being blown to those tires.
Then I also dont need to worry about fitment. :)

Stock TII black interior other then Autometer gauge cluster and shift light

-Extras?

Photonic 08-07-09 03:13 PM

- Engine : J spec 13B-T fully rebuilt to 100% Factory condition except with Cermet coated housings for the purpose of reducing friction and increasing reliability.No power mods except for a nice flowing Exhaust and a good Cone filter. why? because driving a slow car fast is much more rewarding than just simply having a fast car.

- Lube : Castrol GTX 10w 30 of course.

- Cooling: A simple Koyo radiator and whatever electric fans will fit? lol Dont know much about them. Factory oil cooler should be adequate..However I would invest in a NEW one that is clean and gunk free.

-Fuel : Stock fuel, But with 100% new OEM parts or replacements.

-Electrical : Is there something wrong with the electrical system? Even if there wasn't ..once again..replace all componants and restore to 100% factory condition.

-Clutch trans drive train etc : Clutch and transmission ..why OEM of course, and rebuilt stock tranny *shrug*. The only drive train Mod would be a Clutch type diff.

- Suspension : Bilstein or Ohlen coilovers if they even make them. Since I am rich I would have them custom made if necessary. Replace every arm on the car with a Pillow Ball equivilant. Get rid of the Damn Toe Steering Shit

- Brakes : Im not sure what brake mods are preffered to the FC. Since I am rich, I would take into account the cars new weight shifting tendencies with the suspension changes and CG changes I would make..and setup a Brake bias which uses 100% of available grip on all 4 tires and is capable of handling as much heat as is feasible depending on how it will be driven.

-Steering : Not a thing. Well..If there are beefier and more reliable componants I would choose them. But the steering angle will stay stock, FC's have less steering angle than common counterparts such as the S13 ...I would consider it a welcome challenge.

-Body : S5 T2, Perfectly stock, Whatever color yellow was used on the FD.

- Wheels : Enkei RPF1 16x8 or 17x9..depending on if my driving style with stock power can keep that much tire hot enough to function properly, No stretch..no unneccesary over hang..just perfect balance.

- Interior : 100% original in perfect condition, Black and or grey prefferably.

calicrewchief 08-07-09 03:26 PM

I'd give RE-Amemiya whatever it would take to have them build me the sickest track car ever. Then I would drive it on tracks all over the world.

digitalsolo 08-11-09 10:18 AM

I'd repaint my current car a nice gunmetal and put a ball bearing turbo on it. I think that'd cover me. :)

edit: I take that back, I'd like some nicer gauges; probably a racepack dash/logger system, Nexus gauges elsewhere, and I'd upgrade the PCM to a Big Stuff 3.

Then I'd be covered. My currently ~750 RWHP is plenty, I guess. ;)

g14novak 08-11-09 10:55 AM

I'd track down a Noble green efini FC. Take it to the mazda dealership to have every piece of trim, engine/components, body panels, and every wire replaced for brand new parts. Keep that sh*t stock as &$%#. Probably wouldn't leave my driveway after I get the parts replaced. Just going to be a photo whore.

Then get a Cosmo, Rebuild the 20b to make it spool a 1.4AR something. Stock exterior painted fire truck red with gold flake. Sitting on Work Meisters dipped in black chrome. Interior will be all black leather with a creme suede headliner and down the center of the seats. Gonna make b**ches wear gloves and take off their shoes when they get in my car. You get a spec of dirt in the carpet, I don't care how fast I'm going, your going out the door.

Odd, I can't edit my previous post:

To better spell out the specified questions:

-Engine

The current 347" forged rotating assembly, heads/cam LS1 turbo is fine with me.

-Lube

Current Royal Purple turbo specific oil with redline elsewhere works for me.

-Cooling

Custom aluminum radiator with stainless radiator hoses and full shrouds, including taurus fan. aka, what's in the car now.

-Fuel

Sumped tank with Aeromotive A1000 and -10 AN fuel line. aka, what's in the car now.

-Electrical

Current stripped and tucked wiring harness is great. I'd like to do an Big Stuff 3 computer, other than that, it's 100% where I want it.

-Clutch/trans/Drive train/prop/

Current setup (built T56) with the nearly completed 3.55 ratio Ford Explorer rear end that is going in this fall, and a twin disc textralia clutch. aka, what's going in it now. :) Seeing a pattern here?

-Suspension/Steering/Brakes

Current KYB AGXs w/ Eibachs, manual rack, and slotted rotors with Hawk HPS pads is great for my uses.

-Body/wheels/interior/Trix.

My cheap 962 XXRs and Nitto DRs are fine, I like them. Body kit on the car is great, and a fresh paint job would finish it off (though the current paint is good also). Interior is great, minus the aforementioned gauge improvements.

funkjaw 08-12-09 12:15 AM

I would just give all the money to Mr. amemiya and tell him to build me the baddest machine alive.

Derekcat 08-19-09 02:15 AM

A week late but....

Probably about 3 [maybe more :D..]

First: 1991 spec SUPER stock Turbo.. Brand new EVERYTHING. I'd try to convince Mazda to build me [or help me get built] a new frame even.. EVERYTHING stock. [with the exception of better coating for metals, and beefier wiring if it has to be fabricated] I'd cover this puppy with clearbra like there's no tomorrow.. and then only take it out of the garage on occasion to keep it clean.
Black with enough clearcoat to make it look 10 feet deep. 91' coupe wheels

Second: 1991 Turbo, forest green. << Daily driver..
Swap the engine to a 13B-REW [Aluminum plates], FD tranny, FD rear end... Power plant frame it. Every reliability mod in the books and forums.. For the engine, all of the electronics, and everything else. Remote adjustable suspension, keyless entry, security system that will fire a flamethrower at your feet if you try to break in. I'd like to replace the subframes with something lighter [but equally or more strong] too, but I don't know what metals would be appropriate. Titanium?
Full custom exhaust.. R32 GT-R wheels. Drilled and slotted rotors. Wind swinging front plate holder ^_- [wind pushes it up for airflow and to confuse the cops :D]
Super dent-resistant doors.. It also shoots the flamethrower if you hit the door hard enough to ding a normal door ^_-
I'd also like it to be running on Megasquirt via a Mac Mini in the dash with a foldable screen and voice recognition [the mini would hook up to an amp to power the speakers.. iTunes for the music:D] Sprint wireless internet adapter to get online.
...and maybe, just maybe... Gullwing doors. ^_^

Third would probably be a pure track car.. Built from the ground up out of better materials. Titanium again? Probably so for the frame, body panels made from carbon fiber.
Similar drivetrain to the previous car, but bumped up to 20B [aluminum plates again, plus a little extra weight in the back to correct the balance] Push up the HP enough to make all the V8 lovers go away ^_- [sorry guys, I'm a traditionalist :D] Custom built racing seat.. least obtrusive, compliant roll bar. minimal aero mods. 6 Piston front brakes, drilled and slotted. Airbrake rear wing [stock appearance] Painted black and forest green..

Yea I think that about does it..

If I had money, I would buy this bad boy from Japan, import it here, and drive it at vintage racing and time attack events. I'd love to slice n dice with LeMans GTP cars.

Gentlemen, behold! The 1994 Artnature Mazda RX-7 LeMans race car:

http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagam...414%20copy.jpg

http://speedhunters.com/archive/2009...-fc3s-rx7.aspx


If I built one myself, it'd be a reverse-engineered version of the Artnature LM car for use as a time attack/road race car. It would be updated, though: The body would be C/F with a slightly different headlight treatment, as that's the only part of the LM car I don't like. Oh, and a full-race 16X engine when it comes out (and if it's everything it's cracked up to be), ported, turboed, with ceramic apex seals. Rotary+useable torque=win. I really hope the 16X will be as good as advertised, I would love to turbo it and swap it into my FC.

DC 91 fc3s 08-30-09 05:43 AM

id buy a lot of rx7 and play destruction derby LOL

whos down??

id actually build my own track with both a circuit and drift track in the Philippines... yes the Philippines cause we own alot of land there and it would cost way cheaper to build and get permits lol.. and it will be exclusive to racers from around the world to come to the PI to race and compete.. then again whats stopping me??

-Engine
build a monster 4 rotor from scratch. using nasa space shuttle metals and keeping the whole engine as light as possible. huge periphal ports.
making it a 4 liter rotary.
ceramic coat everything.
run a supercharger and turbo to get no lag
-Lube
run anal lube jk
-Cooling
the most reliable cooling system.
a water to air intercooler designed to use r-134 refrigerant to cool down the charge air.
-Fuel
run nasa rocket fuel
-Electrical
a nice stand alone
-Clutch/trans/Drive train/prop/
a strong clutch kit.
a custom transmission with 6 speeds.
all electronically shifted with f1 style paddle shifters. with 0.2 of a second shift
a carbon fiber driveshaft and halfshafts.
everything made of the lightest materials
-Suspension/Steering/Brakes
everything lightened or replaced with light space shuttle material.
huge brakes to stop me
-Body/wheels/interior/Trix.
make a whole custom rocket ship engineered tube chassis to have no flex.
then slap a version select style body kit with a wide body all molded together and made into one whole body piece using carbon fiber.
-Extras?
and 500 shot of nosssss! lol

I wana hit 270+ mph
and drive it daily on the street.
have a faster car than that one guy with that twin turbo v8 fastest street legal car in the world.

Had a lot of time on my hands last year, so built my dream FC. 308 extreamly reliable hp to the wheel:

I have to agree with building a house and a sweet garage or just a sweet garage that I live in.

All I would need money wise is just enough to finish my two FCs

One is a stock looking 86 with an LS1 (that I don't have yet). More of a DD

And the other is basically a 20b track car that I plan to drive on the street.

Having a good shop and some time to work on my projects is truly what I need for my cars.

I want a cool air intake. a Nos fogger system and a T4 turbo, an AIC controller. direct-port nitrous injection. and a stand alone fuel management system. Not a bad way to spend 10,000 dollars.

the guy at the performance shop wouldnt sell me the two big bottles of NOS... He said i would blow myself up.

To extend on the NASA build

- Have Mazda redesign and build a brand new chassis using the shuttle material integrate roll cage to design to reinforce chassis.
- Redesign the electrical system with integrated artificial intelligence that can diagnose itself, detect popos, anti-theft, and connect you to the Houston
- variable wings deploys and adjusts based on speed automatically
- Supercharge and Turbocharge using liquid oxygens
- Redesigned housing made of shuttle material, extra ribs on the housing
- E-Shaft made of space shuttle material
- 4 rotor based engine design
- Liquid Nitrogen cooled intercooler
- Variable suspension controlled by the AI that adjusts itself to driving terrain, driving style, temperature, weather
- RWD
- Liquid nitrogen cooled intake manifold
- hidden dual rocket engine producing enough thrusts to reach 11.2km / sec
- hidden wing deploys when rocket engine is activated
- variable license plate that flips to fake tags when rocket engine is activated
- ejectable seats and targa top
- anti-flood button that cranks the engine while shuts the pump off.
- quantum fluctuator and wormhole generator.

This setup is designed for when shit hits the fence, you can hop into your FC3S and know that no one will be able to stop you. Unless you lost your key and are waiting for locksmith to come a rekey your ignition cylinder. I think this setup is a pretty well rounded setup for all occasions whether you like to pwn local kids drifting in back road, cruise around the F1 city race, or just a general all around car that won't get you bored in traffic jam.


I think I need to win 10 lottery for this setup tho

mmm slammed 3 rotor itb mazda truck

then spend the rest on strip clubs and drugs

-Inboard-mounted coilovers
-carbon ceramic brakes
-16x10" wheels
-carbon fiber hood, fenders, door skins, ect.
-gut rear floor, replace with space frame and carbon fiber panel
-roll cage gusseted to the roof pillars
-relocate radiator to behind driver/passenger. route high power fans to suck air from under the car, exhaust under rear wing
-Give engine high power alternator to power fans, along with rally lights. Fog lamps integrated into fairings in the roof.
-Roof scoop replaces aircon system. Heat, radio/ipod, and four speakers/two tweeters retained.
-Engine is a single turbo 13B-REW, est output of 400hp. Transmitted through a T5 and a Quaife rear diff.
-Aero is reminiscent of the 1987 Audi Pikes Peak Quattro rally car. Underbody is fully diffused to the rear bumper. Custom side skirts to take advantage of the ventilation fans 'sucker car' effect. Skirts are hinged and edged with delrin so they can ride curbs and speed bumps w/o damage

I'd build my 10thAE to be what Mazda originally intended it to be...with a 20B.

driftxsequence 05-01-12 11:51 AM

I'd give millions to mazda to reproduce every piece of plastic for the FC so that we wouldnt have to worry about brittle plastic anymore.

oh and give em a few million to put towards their next rotary powered car too :)

and if i had any money left over i'd buy myself a rotary powered vehicle for every day of the week. a repu, original cosmo, turbo fb, 20b fc, 26bfd, and a 13b bridgeport rx3

JerryLH3 05-01-12 01:51 PM

That's a hell of a thread bump.

I'm currently building my dream FC. No compromises, thus it's taking quite a while.

Tyler [S5 FC] 05-30-12 01:06 PM

This!

tuscanidream 05-30-12 04:56 PM

Added to my fc:

RB aluminum side and intermediate housings for street port
Turblown's coating for rotor and side housings, and rotors
Custom turblown manifold/turbo setup
Cooling mist meth injection kit
Fresh white paint all around with some lime green race inspired design
Lime green rims
An inspection sticker

That would be it for realistic if I won the lotto. Dream would be a 4-rotor, but that would have to be a give it to some one else and say "just build it" kind of deal.
