Thanks guys. I'll try to contact PFS about 20B installation. Today we just strip a 99 FD right hand drive. Converting it to left hand drive by cuttting the firewall from a salvage car. I have many sets of Trial N1 carbon fiber racing seats. Anyone interest? I'm putting one on my car after it is done re painting. This one will look the same as flat black one but the paint is not flat.

Too many people around here are into 1/4 racing. I love hearing top speed results .

182mph is pretty decent
Mayybe you should think about upgrading to the Vielside 320km Speedo

These wheel was off from a JDM damaged car in japan. It says mazdaspeed on the wheel and each little nuts on the sides says rays. Center cap has madaspeed and on the wheel stamped with rays mazdaspeed. I was told this rims was original shown with the 15th anniversary mazdaspeed RX-7. Anyone has a picture of that?

hehe I am planning to build a 13 B bridge port with 100hp shot in a early Ford Pronto van, may be a good drag race for turbo FD.

On Board I have Defi guages, Recaro seats, 5 point seat belt, HKS F CON V PRO, and Blitz boost controller. Basicly it is almost stock on power. The exhaust is full straight pipe. The rims are RAY's enginnering made for Mazdaspeed. I pick those up from a JDM car. It was a steal for only US$800 with tires. I tis using mazdaspeed double plate clutch. Top speed was at 293KM. This car will be for track race only.

I'm working on another one for 1/4 race. But I don't think I can make it as quick as ones in the states. Maybe with some of club member's help. I can put in my 20B motor sitting in the back of my shop. Anyone know what I need to have 20B install on my other FD? Thanks for the help!
pure track use? Why not go for a V-mount kit it is more track proven. Is the HKS F CON V PRO in japanese ? I thought the english version is not out yet ? Those rims were a real steal hehe .

ps: hope you have a rollcage

We're working on the roll cage next month. Currently have front mount intercooler only. The HKS V pro had hardness for U.S version. You have to buy it for older version FD.

It looks like you're in Taiwan. Are you in Taipei also? My cousin John **** owns a shop called JW Racing there also does a lot of work on FD's and he's done a couple RH to LH conversions. Just wondering if you know him since he's a pretty big FC/FD nut.

The next time in Taiwan, we'll have to meet up. It's not often that you see FD's or meet FD owners in Taiwan. I see them on the street once in a very long while, with the exception of the JW cars.

Btw, what's an SA?
