Ugh, tire/stretch poke, mis-fit panels, beat up paint, and too low to even be drivable where I live. Yup, best FC in the country.

Hell, I like MY FC better than that, and I'm not sure that it even makes the top 100.

Well, I like it still.

I think it's built well for what it does.




Let's enjoy rotary.

and also, if setup properly, front mounts can be completely concealed.

now, i agree that i like the car, but there is SO many small details that are completely left out, fix those small issues, that is a badass car.

does it make you feel good to read information and spew it back in new threads even when you don't understand the concept? I bet it makes you feel smart

Hood vents...similar to what are found on this FC do in fact create a low pressure zone and suck hot air out of the engine bay while moving. Notice the flip up before the vent...what this in effect does is push air flowing over the hood up and over the vents, a low pressure zone is created directly over the vents sucking hot air out (very little air is flowing directly over the vents). Let alone the simple fact that when you are idling it allows heat to escape (sitting in the pit after a run, etc)

What you are thinking of is NACA ducts that create a high pressure zone directly over the vent pushing air into the engine bay. The fad of raising the rear of the hood also creates a high pressure zone due to the windshield "building up pressure" as the air flowing over the hood collides with the windshield.

There is a use and place for both style of vent.

ROFL! Everyone on this forum is so up tight. Everyone hates on everyone else. That Red fc is alright. The one in the background behind it looks better.

so what are the mods that have been done to this car, engine, turbo, suspension, ecu? i think the best fc in america should do much more than look good, it should perform better than it looks. how much boost is he running, how much whp?

I think it has probably a tuned up engine, maybe a LSD or something and some lowered coilovers.

this is after you proclaim this to be the best FC in the USA.


but reality is that besides a few pictures you have no clue as to anything else in the car

I will grant you a pass because I am going to take a guess that you are about 15 years old and your just starting to learn, in the future- more reading and less posting is what you need.

You're just a butt hurt drift homo that slaps on a cheesy body kit and wheels and calls the car built. I bet you're still under 300hp. Get over yourself.

I'd like a FC someday, but right now I don't have one.
I like the ones with the body kits and cool wheels.

I like these 2. I think they are brothers in the same team, Risky Devils.

you dont see me claiming my car as the best FC in the USA do you?

pardon me if I like my body parts to be actually bolted on, takes alot of skill to choose between neutral or black colored zip ties dont it?

Besides its called hazing, its what we do, he seems like he is handling the hazing better then you do and I think he is only about 15 years old, sorry if we hurt your feelings little devil dude, dont worry you will be ok.

I will extend the olive branch to you red devil, how about a dozen heavy duty zip ties as a apology?

Car is built. Its got stylish aero, i'm probably over 300hp.
TD06-20G (Its TRUST Bro)

Why U MAD dawg

You gonna show me up with your East Coast style?

I don't know what your car looks like, drives like etc...

But i'm sure it has a over done turbo set up with stock body, really stupid wheels, pretty high ride height and those NJ-Scum Spec knuckles.

(Post Pics, so I can be a HATER)

Wassup with all these ******* hatin on plastic ties.

Lemme break down the facts. I'll only explain this once. So pay attention

Car is low and street driven everywhere. Zipties break off, aero is saved.
Try bolting down your bumpers and being low, Bye Bye Aero

Now quit being a retard and accept the facts.

Unless you wanna prove me wrong, Its the internet bro, try it out.

Buy some cheesy ebay kit, slam your car, cut your springs, hang w/ fat bitches all day. But make sure you bolt everything down. This is KEY.

Then take pictures at the end of the day, and tell me i'm wrong

FACTS BRO

Threads like this make me want to sell my FC . Just so rare to see a nice, clean, well-built FC now. BlueTII; Juiceh; you just don't see projects like those anymore. Risky Devil's posts pretty much summarize the FC crowd nowadays. Sad.

Oh well, maybe I should just start looking for an FD shell.


Edit: Carl Byck's car and that grey widebody FC are both sexy, sexy beasts.
