Pics taken today out in the countryside:

 

Nice color!

 

Looks good!

 

^Hmm...not liking it. Sorry

 

No offence taken buddy, its one of those where you either love it or hate it, in the flesh its a real beauty looks brill at shows

 

nice! saw an FD at the Tokyo Auto Salon with a flat black paint job, looked mean as hell.

 

wow that looks sick. i like it when people do stuff different like this

 

moving to the pictures thread...

 

CHEERIO!

 

lol. I'm not British ;o)

 

GSB,
You stole my idea!!
I can't wait to get my next FD....it'll be matte black similar to that. Now all you need to do is tint your windows.

 

haha, I bet that UIM would produce some mighty fine brauts

I suspected that you were the brain behind that operation, and I'm glad that that's the case because I think you are the perfect man for the job.

that outa sell in about 3 seconds flat! V-mounts are hot commodities these days it seems.

 

awwww, thanks for the compliments Rob
You're right about the v-mount too...I've had a lot of offers for the one on my car already.

 

Hi Scrub,

Yea the rear and side windows will be tinted soonish, i had the idea to try the satin finish a while back but never got round to it on my last FD so on this one we went ahead with it !!!

I think its come out really well and the decals in gloss black are only really visable when its parked

 

I take it you didnt like it when it was done in that red with pearl cast? Or did ross spray it this colour before you bought it?

Looks nice though!

 

I'm not too sure on which manufacturer they are from, however a friend has told me Bomex? The mirrors are fine for viewing, obviously a bit smaller then the standard, but not bad at all. Thankfully they are electric.

 

As other posts, apparently to let the heat escape from the engine... weather it works or not I don't know, however the other day I was stuck in traffic for a long time and I could see lots of heat vapour coming from where the bonnet was raised so obviously the heat was escaping? TBH the main reason I did it was because I like the look of it

 

Car was red when it arrived but i'm not a fan of red at all so we went through a few colour ideas but satin black with gloss black decals is very different and has not been done in the UK yet so thought we would try that

Looks very cool in the flesh and now the decals are on its very eye catching, hopefully if you guys are coming to Billing or Santa Pod you can see what i mean

 

Always an interesting point this because while you are in slow moving traffic or stood still yes it will help with heat ventilation but on the move the heat cant escape as cold air is flowing over the top of the vented area ??

Does look a cool mod though seen a few now and people who dont realise its a mod think the bonnets open

 

Off-topic, but no it does not work at all. It's been tested. Even worse, it may actually be detrimental to managing airflow on the car.

 

yeah I think its only really usefull in getting rid of heat when in traffic, there is definately more ventilation.... as for the bonnet open.. lol... I've been told this by a few people since I did the mod

 

just some quick pics till i get my pro pics taken!!

 

njstreetrx7:

Nice wheels... Goes well with the car... When did you get them?

Dwayne

 

njstreetrx7: Sweet! The new wheels look great, whatever they are. I love the HID in the '99 turn signals and the spoiler looks really good too.

 

Are they HID's or just bright LED's?? Look good whatever they are.
