Build Thread (Loongg overdue)
5 Attachment(s)
*I started writing this thread in the build thread section but am moving it here due to it pertaining more to drifting/drift build*
Hey guys, so I've always wanted to make a build thread but was always too busy and lazy. When i first purchased my FD I wasnt sure what i wanted to do with it. I was mostly into cars and highway pulls, stuff like that. But I've grown big into drifting so you'll see this thread make its way to that side of the spectrum. Even though i havent drifted it much im still learning. (Dont be mean, i know im learning to drift on a fd...) I bought my car march of 2011. Yes i know a long long time ago haha and alot has been done to the car since but im going to try and go in order of the upgrades that ive done. Trust me theres a ton of fresh material that i still need to do so this thread i feel will never die. Plus i always like changing stuff up. Any comments and thoughts are open to discussion. I'm always open to new views on setups whether i go that route or not. http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/...psc5cb79f3.jpg Attachment 647956 Attachment 647957 Attachment 647958 Attachment 647959 Attachment 647960 |
Its a really clean FD except for the paint

of course the first thing i change is the shifter (RICER LOVE!!!) haha
actually i liked the stock shifter but it was so worn out it was making my hand all black. so that had to change. i ended up just buying a cheap Razo shift knob Attachment 647954 paint looked better when it was wet after a wash. lol Attachment 647955 |
upgrades were slow in the beginning as i didn't have alot of money left after buying it driving it back from kentucky to chicago.(was an awesome trip) and registering and all that bullshit.
but i did have fun driving it Also this is the first rotary i have ever owned and was hooked. |

Attachment 647814 Attachment 647815 i was going to install this stuff myself but soon after my car was being taken to Banzai Racing and there was no point to install things that would get taken right back out... just in time for winter on 12/14/11 my car was taken to Banzai. http://banzai-racing.com/2.5%20Logo.jpg http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/...s3ec13074.jpeg http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/...psff395e9f.jpg |

I know theyre knock offs, and idc. It is what it is for now.

Picked up some cheap off brand sideskirts.. They dont fit too horrible but needs some adjusting.
Attachment 642335 Attachment 642336 Then luckily Touge Factory had an Origin bumper in stock for me. I like not having to wait. This bumper fit pretty much like a glove too! Attachment 642337 Attachment 642338 Attachment 642339 Cars gonna look totally different |
