Juno - My FC Build Thread
IDK, I think it's too much white, but then again I always felt that way about the 10th AEs. Not that those are'nt extremely cool, lol. But here are some photos. And damn, the fitment is great!


Some interior shots

Finally did my power steering yesterday. Holy crap it's so nice! So I rewarded myself and car by washing her and giving her a little photo shoot. Got some pretty sweet shots.






Sold some wheels this morning so I think I'm gonna by me an N370 AFM to complete my swap.

18x10 are drift spares. 225s, and they'rte frickin heavy, so it'll be mainly for looks (better than the 17f 15r I've been doing lol)
Definitely not powder coating them. Thats way too much money. I paid $60 for the wheels, so a rattle can job will be just fine, haha.

My cell phone decided to fix itself and now sends photos to my email again. So here's a pic of the powerslot rotors installed. So recently I did the brakes (powerslot rotors and Hawk HPS pads F&R), put on the corksport rad cover (which I still need to trim certain areas to get a nice fit, and put on the Key!s Racing Steering Wheel. I love the new wheel. It is such high quality and love how it feels! Imo it's the most baller thing I have on my car. Well it's tied with the Work Equips, although i think there are fewer people with the steering wheel than the wheels. Seen a few Equips in real life, and have yet to see another Key!s Racing steering wheel before. Anyways pics...

I'll try and take a lunch break and go home to snap a shot of the steering wheel in the car.

So ready for the next drift event! I feel like it's been forever since the last one. Don't think I posted any photos from it, so here's one. Not any crazy angle or anything, but I really like this shot.

edit: Here's a shot with some more angle, haha

So I installed the oil pedestal this weekend and finally hooked up my oil temp gauge. So as of now all my gauges are working. Water Temp, Oil Pressure, Oil Temp and Boost. I'll probably get a wideband afr eventually. In addition I also bought a Koyo R-Care Radiator. The last event I was overheating pretty bad. I had my hood off, would do two runs, then have to sit out for about 20-30 minutes letting the car cool down. So the radiator was a must!
And to everyone who loves my stock body I'm very sorry. I just bought the knock-off BN Sports kit (with the headlight cut-out). I'm so stoked for that to get here. It'll probably be a while before I put a cage in and paint the car, so until then I'm just gonna rattle can the kit white and put it on until i can paint everything. I'm definitely getting so close to being done with my drift build!

Haha yes. Key!s FTW!
I can't wait until I can start redoing my interior. I'm trying to finish everything else before I start on that. Once I get the cage, then I can start cutting out unneeded metal and other stuff.

Koyo radiator - Here!
Flex-A-Lite E-Fan - On the way
BN Sports Type 2 Kit - Here!
I'm so frickin excited. I really hope I can get it all on by the 20th. Not that I don't love the stock look of the fc, I've been wanting to have been kitted for so long. Patience has finally paid off, haha. And now I'll have the exact look I want, and have it done right. Do it once, do it right. I've been trying to go by that and so far I think it's gone that way haha.

nice build, looks pretty sweet so far.
random question, what size steering wheels are those? Im thinkin about picking up a mazdaspeed one, but i dont really like huge oem sized wheels.

Just got some new drift spares. Finally I have enough 17's and 18's where I won't have to rock the 17" fronts and 15" rears. Haha
17x9 +35

Both Momo and Key!s are 350mm. I really like that size, although 330 would prob feel good too. But I like seeing my gauges lol

Been a while since I updated my thread. So here we go. I switched over to an Optima Yellow Top, and plan on doing a battery relocation to the back soon. I also installed my tie rod ends (finally, i know), along with that I put on my 10mm spacers and adjusted my front camber to about -3.5. Which combined gave me a noticeable difference in steering angle. I'll prob use this set up for next season before I get modded knuckles. Only pic I have, I forgot to do a before pic, but I have a feeling most of you know what stock steering angle looks like.
I noticed in the last pic your still rocking the same old worm gear clamps and nasty couplers.
Some 4 ply couplers and t-bolt clamps would help you out immensely. I am running 19 psi on a evo3 16g and not getting blow offs on the dsm. A larger intercooler core, and sealing that air filter off from the rest of the bay would drop down your IATs a good bit as well.

Sweet, thanks. Ya I have all winter to fix alot of the b.s. in the engine bay. I'm definitely getting a real bov and boost controller and am planning on fixing all the intercooler piping. Funds won't let me do the kit, rollcage and paint this winter, I gotta go visit my sister in Hawaii. So hopefully by the end of next winter I'll have it almost finished. (Well it'll never be finished, but have that stuff done, haha)
CAN AN ADMIN. MOVE THIS THREAD TO THE BUILD THREAD SECTION???
So I'm finally putting my kit on. Painted the side skirts this weekend (only did the skirts to try and match the pearl with a rattle can). Just waiting for the rest of the paint to come in and painting the rest this weekend. Then Speedjunkie and Rotorbizzle are helping me put the kit on in the next two weeks. So frickin stoked to finally be kitted. Then I just gotta do my 4 point harnesses and I should be set for this season. Maybe I'll get a proper bov and boost controller mid season.

Molding is pearl thats on the car, and skirts are rattle canned in almond.
