Single7: I did see your car a few times. I even have a picture of it at River City. Very nice CYM
You're right, I have NEVER seen a deeper dish on a wheel than what is on that red FD, freaking unbelieveable!! Thanks for posting the tx2k2 pics, cool
I am uploading the picture I have of your car.

Thanks trunks. The engine bay is still black, but everything was painted off of the car so it looks like it came from the factory that way. I agree with you, black is the most beautiful color for an FD, but black is such a pain in the *** to maintain. Silver on the other hand is much more forgiving, that and Silver being one of my favorite colors on a car, were the reasons why I changed colors.

Your right about the single, I plan on getting a standalone and injectors first. I will probably wait until my Petit upgrades die from seeing 15-18lbs. of boost, then I'm thru with the TT setup (too much pain in the ***, I want to simplify). I will probably go with a single than can get me 400whp and spool up quickly. I'll just have to get use to it at the Auto-X

thanks sub-zero. I haven't really got into looking at what will be involved for putting the mesh in.. My friend with a Bonzai 3-Rotor had holes drilled into the front end itself for aluminum ducting purposes. They used nice SS hardware and you hardly notice it. I would imagine 8 bolts in the middle part and 4 bolts for each opening under the combo lights. If you come up with a cleaner way of doing it, please let me know.

thats a nice color but is the engine bay painted silver too? mannnn, i woulda kept the car black. i think that a stock colored black fd looks better than most fds with body kits. nice rims though.

legendrx7, much props to your FD, man. it looks unbelievable. you mentioned thinking about going single sometime in the future. if you're going to continue auto-x'ing, i would strongly warn you against it. the spool up time kills you down low. you could opt for a small single ... a guy in our club runs a supra with a small single (pretty nice setup), but it backfires ALOT ... don't know if the 13B would react kindly to that. if time and money are no object, i'd recommend trying to acquire some '99 spec turbos instead. great looking car, dude.

Legendrx7, I have the GTC front sitting in the garage waiting to go to the body shop in a week. I was trying to figure out how to protect the FMIC with the steel wire mesh but the fiberglass looks to thin to mount the mesh.Thinking about getting certain spots built up so I can mount the steel mesh. Plus it looks better I think. Did you look into this ? The car looks great by the way.
