If you can weld you can do it.... The parts alone cost me $355. I should have some pics up here in about a week.. Nothing has happened this week due to the weather, but the fenders are cut and will be rewelded this next weekend.

 

What happened to this Conversion?? Anymore pics of that FC>FD? That looks amazing!

 

Ttt

 

alrigt, cool. again, thanks rrtec. anyways, project cost for everything shipped? cause im also saving up for tokicos and a paint job.

Peace

 

Well, if you were going to get this done, I'd wait on the paint job.

 

yayaya, i didnt think of that when i posted. DOH. hehe, thats me using my hands before my brain!

Peace

 

Yeah... Definetly hold off on the paintjob.. I am having a slight issue with the headlight brackets as my welder was acting like a hoe... But hopefully I can get something for you to look at within the next week.

 

it might look better if you guys do a rx8 front end conversion onto a fc. I agree that the lines don't look right. It kinda reminds me of all those civics with crazy body kits that make no sense to me. In my opinion body kits that take the stock lines of the car and improve on them is the way to go.

 

Hey magus are you in so cal?

 

nope, im in the yay area. sorry, bay area, im too white to say that. located in concord, suberb of SF.
and i dont know about an rx8 front end, i would have to see it, i dont have photoshop, but if you do and want to photochop that together that would be magnifico!

peace

 

not a bump, but keeping thread near top!

peace

 

I like it, sweet job for sure. looks good.

 

You just defined the term "bump". Moron.

 

Are you going to change the radiator support too? or just use brackets or something along those lines?

 

No the radiator support will stay the same... just brackets to move the headlamps...

 

hey hey hey, name calling not needed. and i know, i just dont want to get in trouble, lol!
like someone else said, icemark doesnt sleep, he waits.........

peace

 

Didn't someone have pics of the rx8 front end on an FC ? I though I saw that once?.. Personally I think FD would look better, but I'm always curious to see what's out there.

Thanks!

 

....waste O Money!!!

 

progress?

peace

 

Any FD Conversion action?

 

I have been a little busy due to the purchase of my new 7, and having to completely rewire it. I have a new welder and the pannels are cut.

It looks like hood pins are going to be a must I cannot figure a way for everything to line up. The stock buckets will be used but they will require slight modification. As far as the rest of the parts you will have to source them on your own as the fenders will be the only thing I can effectivley produce.

 

sweet man cant wait to see it finished, im interested in doing this myself. just dont have the resources at the moment.

 

progress? just got my exeddy clutch, so this is being budgeted now!

peace

 

Have any of you checked out Garage-13.com ?

These guys stock the FC-FD front end conversion that is pictured on the first post of this thread. It's starting at $2990AUS, so you do the math, I think it includes hood, bumper, fenders, lights, etc. Worth a look if you tell me, personally, I'm going FC2000, but this is an interesting build.

I'm suprised he dosen't have any pics of the conversion.. If I made one of those I'de throw tons of pictures up there.
