Sickest fc ever!!!!!!!

 

this, right here, is what we all do this for. this is what it's all about and while you're still getting it together, it's really good to read that you're smiling and enjoying this beautiful creation of yours. beauty and brutality ... awesome combination!


quick question: what brakes are you running?

 

i apologies for the late reply but thanks everyone for the comments much appreciated !
i will be on here fair bit from more now




thanks man! love how it turned out always put a smile on my face when i go to the garage..

the brakes are AP racing fronts and k-sport rears



update:

well like usual soon as i get my car home work sends me off for work for a couple of weeks :evil:

Anyways while i was away i organised a bit of a get-together with a couple of mates to lend a hand and generally talk **** lol also to get the guards rolled..

the guys from sydney guard rolling to came out and did a great job rolling my rear guards a little and to roll the front gaurds on a family members big block torana..



Even shouted my mates a huge pub feed and drinks all day to say thanks.
we got fair bit done which was good considering it was pretty hot day

finally installed the headlight covers which came up really good with all new black screws ..

i absolutely love the look of pop ups cant put my finger on why but ..
screams 80/90s i know not many people are a fan of them and try differnet setups but never looks right to me..


only thing left to do is
* wait til the diffuser comes back and
two flat pieces of carbon which i will use to cover where the original radio section and rear battery compartment.
*fit amber lenses to front blinkers when they arrive.
*fit new bonnet cable..(the locating platic tab on the old one has broke over time)

got a pretty cool shoot coming up thats been organised through a few photographers
which im super excited about..


also while away KUPOI off another forum got intouch with me through facebook sent me a link to a few pics he took of the car at WORLD TIME ATTACK last year

 

So clean.
What size is that radiator?

 

This thing is soooooooooo NASTYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

always nice to see a good build

 

Custom made to suit so very big
If you'd like I can give you exact measurements

Haha thanks man !

 

Update: Got stuck into the 7 again today Some Little fiddly bits from Mazda arrived Including new bonnet cable Also carbon bits finally came back aswell Including carbon radio panel delete The GF apparently helping lol Also got my windscreen wiper surround repainted again for a more OEM finish with new black screws Love the finish on it now Still got plenty little things to do Tomorrow so more updates then

 

well thursday was the cars first offical outing.. down to silverwater about a hour out sydney for the shoot for fast fours magazine the 30min drive down took well over 2hrs due to insane traffic which was gayy noticed while i was in traffic all poshie people hated it and either moved away from it then cutt infront of you at the last minute or put all there windows up then there was the tradies that where giving thumbs up, taking pics ,or just yelling f#ckyea awesome car! I was pretty happy how the car ran in the hot stop start tarffic the oil temps and coolant were in a range i was happy with .. there is a intemittent issue with engaging of 1st gear only happened three times the whole day but def want to see wants going on there. meet some real awesome guys down at shoot apprectiated all the work that went into it here a pic i took while the shoot was on then after the shoot everyone was pretty keen for some rolling shots aswell on the motorway. so off we went pity thee was more traffic so wasnt sure how manydecent pics they took but they posted one on there facebook as a teaser which i like

 

sweet. When's it featuring? Will be looking out.

 

sonofa.......aussies do it so big. they are like a hybrid betwen american and japanese style, but they can import stuff so much easier...

 

I have to say, this FC is beautiful... I wish mine will look like that, oh well

 

Such a immaculate FC! Great job!

What did you end up making for HP and Torque with that little gem?

 

Oh my goodness, I want. I don't like my FC that much anymore. Thanks.

Lol ok jk jk.

 

sorry for the late reply
been so busy with work..

thanks everyone for the comments much apprectiated!

 

well its been a while since ive updated
ive been busy working and saving $$
but managed to take car out a bit here an there...


anyways i had a bit of a idea thats been stewing in the back of my head for a while and finally bit the bullet ..
i plan on making a custom carbon cold air intake system. cause never a fan of a filter just siting there..
i checked my car over and over again an it is very do-able but found no information on other people doing it was found
so i began making templates and moulds
but here"s the basics off it



the position it will sit



roughly what it would look like




more detailed pictures in the next week or two

 

That looks sweet! Shave a bit of weight too right?

 

Nice cover pic mate, looked good on there.

 

hey any pictures of the recaro's installed ? which ones did you go... (I need to get some as well )

Flawless attention to detail, amazing is an understatement.

Congrats on the Speedhunters feature!
