FC in OZ
Hi guys,
My name is Dean. I have a 89 FC3S. It is a jap import. I was the first owner here in Australia. It had 88***kays on the clock When I got it.
This was my first cruise. Only 2 weeks after getting it.
The only mods were JIC coilovers and the wheels.
This was out at Willowbank Raceway. First time ever down the strip. 14.5 @ 96mph.
After the motor let go. I got a new engine with an extend port. Dowelled. Microtech LT10s. High flow turbo.
With that setup it made 310rwhp. On about 17psi. The turbo was really at the very limit of it's efficiency range.
I managed a best of 12.5 @ 116mph.
I owned the car less than a month and a freak storm blew a tree over the car. Amazingly it only dented the bonnet the door and tore the mirror off. I drove around with it like that for months.
I bought a alloy bonnet for it to replace the dented steel one. That lasted less than 12 hours on the car. I was at the strip. Testing a new HKS EVC. and the bonnet flew open. Smashing the windscreen and ******* the bonnet. It also put a small dent in the roof.
I then bumped (at speed) a pole and cracked the front bar and cracked the FMIC (Don't drive tired kids!).
So i bought a new allot bonnet. A body kit and had it resprayed without the pearl in the paint.

I was then looking for more. So i gathered some parts together.
Direct Clutch Twinplate
Garrett T04Z. Ball bearing. On a HKS manifold with a Turbosmart 48mm wastegate.
I still enjoy my drag racing. But i have been itching to do circuit racing since i got the car.
With Willowbank Raceway and Queensland raceway less than 5 minutes away i really have it good
