what a nice lip I could add to it for not taht much money???

 

what nice lip could I add to make the fc look nice and sleek...???*

 

Feed, MazdaSpeed or Odula.

 

make the car fast before you make it look good. It will help if you get your *** handed to you and it makes you wish you did the go fast stuff first. Not to mention spanking the new shinny car next to you with a 3 different color FC is really cool.

 

4.5-5k not gonna get you very far. Drop in a j-spec and get some shocks/springs/bushing kit/sway bars/shock tower bars and some tires and go racing.

If you wanna drag I'd drop in a LS1 from a wrecked Camaro along with the T6 tranny.

 

5k doesn't get alot done. but if you don't buy a EMS system we will all kick your ***. If we find out you bought a body kit and not a EMS your in for a beating

 

Well im already getting the jspec dropped into my car with about 35k on it and i will go from there, i just wanna look good while im riding out also guyz. and not to sound stupid or seomthin but what the hell is EMS exactly???

 

engine managment system..haltech, wolf, microtech....u get the idea

also..dont think he can do the rtek1.7 considering hes got a s5.....i'd probably do engine(~2200), FMIC(<1500), safc(400), exhaust(800), FCD(~100)

 

get engine management first. And don't fall for that Jspec with 35k on it. You are buying a motor out of a junkyard in Japan. A few people have got good running jspecs but you can talk to a few more people who didn't. If you are getting a jspec use it as a core and have a serious race motor built.

 

So you guys think that getting a used jspec is a bad idea?
what are the chances of it being a bad engine???

I was hoping it would run good with a front mount intercooler, downpipe, bigger wires, BOV and thats it until my other engine is ready an done. Which im estimating will take about 8 months to a year with everything im going to do it

 

I keep hearing this from people in CA. Thats INSANE that 5k can't get good bodywork and paint done. Here in VA you can get a good job done for under $2000. It might sound like BS, but I've seen the results and they are show quality. I can't imagine paying 5k+ for a paint job.

Very high, you need to remember that jspec engines come from junkyards, the only difference is it's a japanese junkyard. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don't. It's a 50/50 chance.

Getting the engine to work and match that body kit you want is going to cost a lot more then you think.

 

yeah I know, I see my project coming out to about 8k if I want to get everything the way I want it, and thats only for now.

Im really debating about getting the used jspec now though. Dont wanna feel like an *** when the engine blows shortly after i put it in.

What should compression numbers read for a healthy jspec to last me longer than a year with the little bit of work done to it.
