Why not pull the glasses out?

Hi Luke, good to see you in an FD again. I didnt think you'd get another after selling your white FD but good to see youre doing good progress with this one :icon_tup: I still work on these cars. Hit me up if you need anything :wave:

almost coming together!!!

I feel like drooling just by looking at the new update. Is the paint the original CYM, or something close to it?

looking damned good !

Your fenders don't match though?

Better pics please when you get a moment. Interesting... and looking GOOD!

Looks very nice.

finally home! I LOVE the way everything came together...unfortunately, the starter went bad and I now have to push start the car...hey, it's the rotary life right? lol

sneak peek...

I'll probably be installing the Sakebomb HID lights this weekend

Attachment 724449

Post a bunch of pics of your install and the completed look so I can post them on the SBG website! :nod::icon_tup:

what yellow is that... not stock CYM is it? ...and is that a 993?.........if so i hate u very much for having my dream garage.

^btw sorry for quoting the pics. posted from my phone and didn't notice the pics were in the quote... :\

yup, stock CYM. CYM purists on this board will hunt me down if i ever do a color change lol

and yes, my other car is a 95 993. I have a thing for 90's sports car :)

per request - here are the photos I took this morning of the install


lighting from the 1900's...

Hurray for modern lighting! The install was pretty straight forward but making sure the wirings didnt get stuck was a little challenging. all in all, great product. I'll be taking better pictures of the finish product and if you like to use these pics on your site, go for it.

you have great taste. and the lights look very nice.

This inspires me! I just took ownership of my very own CYM R1. I think I have to do the same headlights eventually. I will probably have mine repainted in a couple years. I have other work to save up and perform first. Your car looks great!

Looking awesome. Possible new photos please from all angles when you get a moment? Hoping you'll be attending Sevenstock in Oct.

^+1 Looking Great. More photos please:nod:

were the headlights essentially plug n play?

Lights looks really great! Everything else too, but lights are awesome!

that yellow looks amazing...

forsome reason the pics of your car in the garage look like a toy model or something haha

Is that a 993 parked beside your FD? Your neighbors must hate you. I have an e46 M3 to go with my FD and I catch crap for it all the time.

Two incredible cars!! I do lust after the 993 as well.

I see you already responded that it is a 993. I'm right there with you on the 90's sports cars. What sort of 993 is it? Looks wide in the back so I'm guessing at least a Carrera 4s maybe? or could it be a turbo?

You're damn right! :)

Looks great. Glad you're happy with the SBG lights :icon_tup:

Nice ride. The headlights look very nice.

Did you have problem with the strut bar clearance. My setup is really similar to yours, same IC, banzai brace, same airbox, aftermarket engine mounts, same color, same color wheels. Since I put the banzai brace the strut doesn't clear anymore. Have you put some washers under the strut ends?

Thanks

I really like the way the SBG lights turned out for you, and honestly will probably purchase them after seeing them on your car. Glad there's an option to keep a little of the 90's nostalgia the car has with the pop-ups. Looking forward to see what you do with this one. :icon_tup:

Either your motor mounts are a lot taller than stock or your trans tailshaft is way too low, causing the front of the engine to sit higher. You can raise the tailshaft by adjusting the PPF alignment. We have never needed to install washers under the strutbar.

Luke, the car is looking great!

Wow, very sweet build! Are you keeping those Advans or the SSR ? Both look awesome by the way.

No problem with strutbar clearance. Here are some quick photos I snapped today.

very nice :icon_tup:

The front shot is my favorite. Such a beautiful car, very well executed.

No radio?

wow...!!!!

Very nice! Great job. Which side mirrors are you running? Craft Square? Are your front and rear Mazda emblems FD off of 99 and newer FD, or something else similar?

^ The mirrors look like APR.

good!

I love his fd, is beautiful.
My project fd, is equal to yours in terms of aesthetics, I want to type oem carbon spoiler, rear diffuser same, same side diffusers, front lip oem, oem hood, tires rotated grid drift, and white ... I hope to get to have it lol

mine is so far ...

http://inlinethumb47.webshots.com/50...500x500Q85.jpg

Awesome awesome awesome!

yes, the mirrors are from APR

I cannot wait till mine looks this good! You are my inspiration.

BEAUTIFUL!!! What are the specs on wheels/tires? The ssrs look pretty good, except the rear looks a little sunk. Try using a spacer?








P.S. Needs MORE PICS!!

the wheels are 18x9.5 +22offset but with the rear fender job, it'll take a wider setup. Not into the hellaflush thing but I will probably put 10 or 15mm spacer in the rear. Tires are 255/35/18.

Waiting for more parts to show up but I am pretty happy with how the exterior and the engine turned out.

Few more :)

Nice pics. I think I'm definitely convinced that black wheels are the way to go on CYMs (vs bronze).

Can you run spacers that wide without stud extensions?

You don't need extended studs if you are using bolt on spacers. Bolt on spacers have their own set of studs coming off of the spacer.


Thanks for mentioning the wheel specs. What are your alignment settings?





P.S. I Hope you don't get mad, because I totally saved all your pictures xD

Wow car looks FANTASTIC! LOVE those wheels too! :)

Only if your wheels have holes to hide the original studs or let them poke through, if not then you'll have to run 25mm mininum so the original studs won't stick out.

OP, vey clean CYM :icon_tup:

i want thos rims....
