Ive seen FCs online that look like the white FC from initial D, i think this car look very cool. Would anyone happen to know what wheels and bodykit that white FC from initial D had? im not tryin to be some giant ricer i jus think the FC in the anime looks cool.

RETed

It runs Watanabe RS-8's sometimes...

Let me go watch some episodes to get a better idea...

The lip spoiler could be any number of brands.
The rims sorta look like Super Wade's, but a little bit fatter on the spokes - 5-spoke, 3-piece design.

Thanks

RETed

With this pic, the rims look generic...
You make the call...

Thanks for the pic, i think that is a mazdaspeed lip and spoiler.

blindsite

hey you can get that spioler from corksport.com

i am a huge fan of initial d also,
it's really hard to say what rims are on the car, because they are always different, ( as RETed has said above)
sometimes it has the watanabe style old school rims, and sometimes has 5 spokes rims...
refering to the comic, the FC did'nt have the front lip in the beginning...
and the picture that RETed post is drawn by some anime fan and i think is not very accurate in bodywise and spec wise

here's a picture from stage 2 animation



and yeah he's got the coolest license plate i think
13-137

u guys should know what it means

RETed

Okay, I'll bite...
"13 - BT"?

They look kind of like my old O.Z. Racing Rims

RETed

Yeah, I didn't think of that - good point.&nbsp I have an official model of the Initial D cars (FC and hachi), and that model has a set of chrome 5-stars on it, but the pic next to it has Watanabe RS8's on it...

Quick scan of my box...

Either O.Z. Cronos or R-32 GT-R rims, you be the judge.

You be the judge.

KenshinFC

looks like the lip that FEED makes for the FC...

wheels are definitely Watanabes...

My car almost looks like Initial D FC.. just needs a the Red Suns decals and *presto*...
Damn.. now I need surgery to look like Ryousuke..

RETed

Close, but the FEED lip spoiler "holes" are a bit more rounded...
You make the call...

Here is a better shot.

Here's another one.

BNR32 rims?&nbsp NICE!
You running any spacers with those?&nbsp Or are the offsets perfect?&nbsp What kinda/size tires?

i was just thinking more like
1.3 liter 1.3 liter 7

and seems to me all the other car's license plate number in initial d has no meaning except the white FC

13-137 looks just like pager code (yeah I know, its childish). 13-BT 13 looks like a mutant B and 7 is T in pager code. It could also be 13B 7. I just don't see why they would have 1.3 liter and then repeat 1.3liter 7.

Just my take on this collaborative code breaking effort.

Jerk_Racer

The offset in the back was perfect, but that also made the front come out a bit. I did the "camber mod" but that only brougt it in a bit. After I rolled the fender with a wood bat (no heat gun used unfortunately) carefully to keep the paint from cracking - much, there is no rubbing. Even after many autocrosses they have yet to rub now. Aesthetically they are still a bit wide but they work all the same. I currently have the worn out and soft 110k mile springs/shocks on the car. I'll get the K2RD setup one of these days. With that I should be able to dial in more camber. This should pull in the tires all the way. Just looking at my tread wear on the front it reason enough to run with about 2~3 degrees of camber. Hey, it's all justified in my head so it all seems like a good idea. Hey, the wheel's were cheap so I couldn't pass them up.

Those are 16" x 8" rims, right?
You happen to know the offset on those rims?
I think the offset was +25mm for those BNR32 stocks rims?

dra_gon_lee

that car is soooo cool! there was a set of watanabe's for sale for 900 bones! if i had the money, id have the red sun mock up made already...i might end up doing it on down the road, its just getting those rims, is going to be the hardest part...

Jerk_Racer

They are 16x8, but they are not stamped with the offset, so I'm not sure. I just remembered from when I lived over there that dudes would run these wheels without spacers and have no issues. Compared to the stocks wheels, they feel lighter even with tires, they're wider, look better (imo), and take next to no time to clean well. Tire in the back are Advan AVS Intermediates and the front are Advan A032R's. 225/50R16 all around. Why? I'm funny that way. It works well for me.

RETed

I don't suppose you got them from Joji at Wheelchoice?

Are RS8's deep dish wheels cause they dont look like it in the pic of the model car but here they do
