Hey fellas..

Here's pics of my ride i took today 12/11/2006.
Id like to thank all the boys from the FD thread at Ausrotary and the FD Guru's, BLACK TALON, DAIONI, IBLI7Z, KOTTER31, CRAYSUS, JIM6, RICE RACING, FD MAN, ADJUST, PLYRUF and N1RAY for all the help with parts, knowledge and support with the build so far. Its only 40% done, a long way to go to finish.

Its a J-style race inspired build. The 2000 model Series 8 was originally imported from www.japandirect.com.au .

WELCOME TO MY GARAGE


THE ENGINE BAY - Still Stock...at the moment.


....Well, except for the D1 Aluminium AST and HKS IC pipes (thanks Marcus |SPII| ).


....Still managed to run 218.7 Rear Wheel Kilowatts @ C&V's dyno dynamics (around 270-280KW's at the Engine), with just a nicely tuned Apexi PFC and HKS EVC 5 with high/low adjustable boost 14psi. It sits on 10psi most of the time.


THE INTERIOR - sorry, its abit blurry; My Nardi Deep Corn s/wheel, HKB Boss kit w/Airbag relay eliminator, CF Mazdaspeed g/****, Addzest Double DIN, PFC, EVC and HKS turbo timer. Soon will be filled with a pair of Red Bride Brix's and CF Scuff plates (if I can find the right price for them)

 

THE EXTERIOR- So lucky the car was imported with the MAZDASPEED edition GT-Concept exterior wear, minus the GT-C Front lenses which they cracked when the car was on the boat and the so, so looking rear pods. I'll be filling up the rear soon with a Diffuser.NOTE: The rear wiper and nozzle were never part of the car when it came from Japan :shock:












THE WHEELS and SUSPENSION - "Currently" sitting on 17inch AVS [advan yokohama] Model T6 lightweight wheels, long race nuts and MAZDASPEED Adjustable coilovers with adjustable dampers (this came stock with the car also) :shock: .




THE INSPIRATIONS from my MAGAZINES - even though I cant read Japanese, pictures, rides and those dudes pointing figures at parts help me understand and take notice.

your fd is almost 100% what I would do when I buy one in the spring. instead of the advans,
I'm going to put on my mazdaspeed ms-o1 classics in gold. great taste on a very nice fd!

 

Looks good, but i have a feeling this will be moved to the sticky thread for pics.

 

Looks very good

 

Very nice...and extremely clean engine bay...

 

love the car minus the wing

 

it looks great. please just tell me there's more planned for the engine. you do have a Power FC and EVC V, so thats a good start. good luck on finishing it.

 

My fav steering wheel. However, stock engine bay... so much to be discovered

 

damn, clean black shiny exterior is the ****, very nice

 

I'm confused with the big exhaust can and running cats...with a standalone? kind of an over kill dont ya think?


Car looks great though...just need to work out the little things that matter.

 

Maybe its because it doesn't have the wiper, but that has got to be the cleanest and sleekest shot ever taken of a "stock" fd. Nice! Good luck with the project.

Where'd u get all those mags from? I want...

 

Engine is very stock!. Otherwise the car looks great.

 

NICE!!!!mazdaspeed is the shnikies! do you plan on another hood?
