I believe the car is turning out very well, keep up with the good work!
He's on the club. I forget what his user name is.

The first time I saw that FC in Tacoma I freaked out because the car was hella Dank. I wanted my car to be somewhat like the car. Actually I still do.

Keep up the good work and don't forget to document everything.

~the person's username is I253I Rex7 I found this by accident when looking at the forum, he was talking about Touge (MT) drifting and sweet *** courses.

^^ Sorry man, not being a dick, but im not really feeling the look on your FC, just my opinion ....those front wheels and ride height look kinda weak.

I guess being a build up thread, your showing the progrees and all, but still...looking at your FC's current state is a lil bit of an eye sore. Any plans on adding a front lip? Wheel and suspension upgrade? Nice intercooler set up....

^^I know this is future RS's....I read a few pages back that Mazdapunk would be contributing....

When comparing the two....I favor future's FC over Mazdapunk's.

Hopefully he'll post updates soon, Future's car makes me want to do my white FC in panda, but I probably wont. btw, pro am, is your FC crystal white?

sorry guys for the delays.

and i'm fine with mazdapunk posting.

unfortunatly i had some family things come up and the car is actually for sale now. sad to see it go as i am falling in love with the FC. i will be getting another next year hopefully. but i will see what happens with the current car. if it doesnt sale then i will be getting new wheels for it in january and a possible rebuild with a 60-1 and haltek. but as of now i need to sale if possible.

mazdapunk keep up the good work man. it does need a new front bumper and see if you can pull that intercooler back a bit with the new bumper. and like it was posted it needs a front lip and lower badly. GL its coming along.
