I "stumbled" across what appears to be a Fujita Engineering FD straight from Japan (I'm lucky - I'm in Oz), and couldn't resist buying it (pics attached). I'm guessing it was done by FEED as most parts (eg intake adapter casting, Intercooler, radiator, titanium exhaust, etc) appear to be genuine FEED, and the sound absolutely rocks, very reminiscent of the FEED RX7's I've seen in Hot Version videos. It does have the twin turbo setup instead of the T04, and "only" boosts 14 psi, but it is certainly fast enough and I'm loving it.
I know this is pretty loose question, but would experts around here care to comment on "likely" specs on such a car, in particular, I'm wondering whether such a car would run stock ports or not? Am I correct in believing that some FEED cars run side ports - This car certainly sounds completely different to my near-stock FC..

With stock twins it's most likely a stock original engine. How many miles on it? If it is an oem engine, it's probably pushing 325-340 rwhp at 14 psi.

No offense meant, but I think it's a bit of a stretch to assume that because your aftermarket parts are all FEED, that your car was built by FEED. I would think it far more likely that the previous owner just had a strong affinity for FEED parts.

LOL, no offence taken. Yes, the "remote possibility" crossed my mind. In some weird way, I was hoping someone would wake me up from my likely delusion. What counts is that, FEED built or not, I'm finding it awesome fun to drive anyway.

I wonder if there is a way to tell whether there is a genuine affiliation - Does anyone know if they mark their cars with some kind of identification?

So depending on the tune, CAN a stock port engine sound as mean as a ported engine? (I've just never heard a stock engine sound like this in my limited experience). The odometer shows 34,000kms, and I haven't noticed anything yet that makes me doubt it.

BTW, Happy New Year all! (it's 3 hours into 2011 here in Oz)

How does it idle?

is that some special commander or is it just painted?

It's a limited edition commander, I think it's called the D1. It's no different functionally than a regular commander, just painted gold, pretty rare though

Idle is slightly lumpy, and sits around 1000rpm.

Thanks for that info zeroG..
