That front bumper was a one off custom job made by Jetspeed.com.au

there is next to nothing available for the FC here in Oz, i was just driving past, thought i'd stop and take a punt by asking, and sure by sheer fluke they had that one front bar they'd made for a customer a year b4 who then backed out of the deal.

Looking at it from the front, the Air Filter was supposed to be located behind all that nice open grill to get lotsa cold air, but the IC piping has gotten in the way, so now the AirFilter is condemned to stay in the engine bay sucking hot sir. Just hafta make a cold air box 4 it.

Because that frontbar was a oneoff, i (read, my friend MazRX from the AusRotary.com forum) had a bitch os a time getting it fitted. It *is* on the car now, and it looks ******* SICK!!!! tho th efit isn't exactly spot on. I am happy though, as it is on the car at last. I will take some photos 2morrow in the daylight (10.40pm at nite here in Melbourne, Oz)

That frontbar was designed to house a FMIC, that's why I bought it.

Later,
Perry Gehenna

87GTR / all,

I'd imagine none of the kits will be 100% perfect. Since you'll be painting it ANYWAY, you might as well smooth out the lines/seams from any kit you buy before painting it.

Will that Corksport front fit on an 86?? I know I'd have to do something about the ugly black trim, but are the fenders the same???

i was going to buy an alloy turbo bonnet here is Australia, cut out the useless turboscoop, but equal out the cut b/c teh scoop is offset to one side, then finding/buying a reverse scoop of the right width to put in the hole, glue it in with the appropriate glue (after consulting panel beating friends) then painting it up.
Voila! an alloy bonnet with a reverse scoop, that in all probabability will look like absolute ******* ****, and i'll smash it up in a rage and throw it thru my back window before cracking open another vodka to wash down some valium.
Ahhh, the upgrade process....so much fun. so draining on the wallet. Thank God i don't care about getting a house or anything like that, or i'd be seriously fucked by now
