did you buy it sight-unseen? I guess I'm asking why the compression was a surprise.

our auto cross club go by nasa rules so Ill be in (rus) we tie the top three together cuz not many in those class. The guy I bought it from claimed to do a comp test and said 120 on both so took his word :( yes they should make some nice noise ;) I'm debating about running them into the dp though.

Check with Ronin Speedwork for FD sunroof plug. I picked up a fiberglass FD sunroof plug from them recently.
|
well took the jump and just order a set of ohilins dfv for the fd cant wait to receive them!
|
is that the pettit bumper?
|
no its one off ebay, urethane
|
Are you going to get the front lip too? If you are I'll look and see where I got mine for you. I think I paid $200 for it shipped from TX to FL and it was a brand new oem Mazda lip.
|
i really want an autoex lip but wow that's costly lol. On that note think I'm order it from shine auto in Kevlar to match the rest of things I wanna get. Well haven't decided if kevlar will go good with daytona blue. Did that stiffen the bumper up from flexing at all deliverance?
|
Yeah when I mounted the lip and undertray it became pretty solid. I have three bolts on each side, the undertray bolts and about 8 bolts holding it down on the top. If I end up keeping mine I'm going to try to mount the oem metal piece to the top to give it a little bit more lift too.
|
the ohlins are sick, youll love them!!!
|
Lol hope so, Friday can't come any sooner =]
|
where did you order them from?
|
Got them from rich)(goodfellafd3s while we discussed buying a set of new door handles from him. Feel lucky as got the last set and those should be on the way as well =]
|
Ill take some pics once they show up

That color looks great.

Just got done undercoating the wheel wells and that's about all for now. Waiting on my motor still to get moving along
|
I'm going to do a small write up on how to mate the bumper to the oem metal bar for better fitment.

That was in the car when I got it. To me looks like wouldn't do much how it is. I'm actually in middle of doing the whole inside from firewall back and we'll see. I won't know if it help cuz never drove the car before this build.
|
The biggest regret about my first car build(not and FD) was not spending time there. It was so noisy to drive even with a quiet exhaust. I'm starting an FD soon and I'm gonna to sound proof the crap out of the inside lol.
