YT My FD

Hi All,
I've been a member here for a while now (<<<<--- see over there), so i thought it was about time, that i posted some pictures of my FD up for you all. I previously owned a Supra, and sold that for the FD about a year ago now. My car is 2000 type RB, any questions just pm me. Pics below:

I know it looks fairly stock, and thats the look im going for (stealthy). As far as I'm concerned, the stock Series 8 is pretty sexy as is, so why screw with it. Having said that, I've still got loads of bits and peices waiting to be fitted to car including (carbon front lip, carbon underskirts, carbon brake ducts, ganador mirrors, mazda 6 repeaters and several over things). Once I've got all the bodywork sorted out just right, then I can move on to the engine/interior mods (I already have a new intercooler and radiatior, cluch and flywheel, oil cooler, greddy elbow etc. waiting to be fitted). Additionally, my future plans include - 19" CCW SP500's, Bride Ergos (or simular) leather seats, and a single turbo conversion (my current thinking is a to4z, but that changes on a weekly basis), and decent stereo too.
I will post some updated photos as this progresses. cheers. - Sam

They look like Panspeed Sideskirts & Rear Fenders and FEED Front Fenders....Not sure on the front fenders though could be Panspeed too.

When I was in the shop in 2009 one of the two white FD had a blown V8. Is that the reason why you're running an LS3?

The fronts are either +25mm or +35mm depending which ones you buy (they look pretty much the same mind), I went for the +35mm versions. As for the rears, I have no idea, Panspeed's site makes no mention of it although they did confirm to me that the 9J +20ET wheels would fit.

Thanks for the comments guys

And in the spirit of this thread, here's a pic of the car before we shipped it from Japan (where I had it built).

I cracked my block on a new LS2 due to the block having a Vette pilot bearing instead of a Camaro bearing causing the block to give. So I just went all out and got the LS3. I think it was worth it
