Good job thus far. I like everything about this. May i suggest a rear diffuser for this car? It would really bring everything together. I mean cosmically orgasmic-like.
I'm jealous of your body work skills and garage bb wing for sure!
So much win in this thread. And surprisingly, wing looks good with or without the ends on it. The front bumper with pop ups is neat. I never saw that setup comming. Props for doing it and making it look decent.

Thanks man. Rear diffuser is the first thing im going to get after my trip. Maybe pick up some other goodies while I'm there.
anyway, japan is taking a lot of my time but once I get back
-install canard set up
-install roll cage
-install sideskirts and fit up my undersideskirt thingies I made
-get rear diffuser
-reinstall oil pan with banzai racing oil pan brace (leaky oil pan because of bad gasket)
-rebuild knightsports turbo
-get tuned!
-finish yourssport mold
Im gunning for august so I'll be ready for seven stock and buttonwillow in september!

I think I have the only two FCs in downstate IL... LOL. I used to see a couple others running around central IL, but haven't seen one for over a year now. I'm in Houston all the time for work, but I fly down 
I'm in the middle of repainting my SE, so maybe when I get it done, I could drive it down sometime for a road trip
I'm in the middle of repainting my SE, so maybe when I get it done, I could drive it down sometime for a road trip I find the same cars in diff threads, connected to diff people... you california seven people stick close to each other on a daily basis. I need to move to cali, I would prolly have more friends. I feel like theres NO seven people in houston... Most (if any) of them keep in hiding/garage queen their **** hardcore, have different lifestyles, dont care to hardecore mod their seven.
IBsomeone calls me out... But its true... Houston car scene is just dirty dirty... we will say ****.

Sooo.. its been a while since I posted about this because I've been busy with school and then the holidays. Since my last post I had the turbo rebuilt. It was leaking a tiny bit of oil so I did not want to put it back in just to have it taken out later. Was about 500 to rebuild.
Also since then, I have installed an fd alternator with dual belt pulley from japan2la, mercury villager e-fan, and powdercoated red FD calipers.
Come february I will get the power steering installed, alignment done, install s-afcII and boost controller, and finally a tune! Anybody recommend somewhere I can go to in socal for a dyno tune?
Oh! My friend and I are going to weld my cage in too.. Hope that turns out ok hehe.
Anyway, here are pics I took outside da house. Oh, I also put the s5 sideskirts on. They fit like crap on s4's lol.
I still need to get foglights for the fogholes. Anybody got ideas?
Shift boot we (bakemono) made, anybody interested? Not a very good pic but its alcantara with red stiching
Boost gauge!
Cf visors.. can't really see the cf. Don't mind that sideskirt. I didnt secure it down yet.

I think I said it before, but that's a fantastic looking FC. One thing tho (there's always one thing); loose the broken headlights, and get fixed projectors.

IMO the rims need to go, I know it's a generic thing to say since they're so played out, but a good set of Enkei Rpf1's might be a good bet for the FC. Everything flows so well in your car but the rims are just not doing it for me at least. Other than that the car looks great!

As for the wheels, the rears fit fine but the front need spacers.
Its a Pro shop Wave bumper. We also have the spoiler lol.
I know! lol. I've had this car for 3 years and I still havent driven it even around town. Its always to just work on it. I still have way too many things to take care on it to even think of putting it on the track but things are finally finishing up. The biggest thing is the tune which I plan on doing in feb. A friend recommended SR motorcars. Any other recommendations?
