S5 Tail Lights

Hey Luis,

Thanks for posting that pic, I have just been going through some stuff but it's all behind me now. That pic is a motivator it looks good, I actually just got finished installing the S5 lights on my FC with no mods needed, they went right in, it looks like my FC may have been produced right before the lights changed because the body was already made for them. The next pics will be of the engine build and mounting of the GTU spoiler I have, if anyone has a template or a good way of mounting it please let me know. Here is a pic of the lights.

Initial D! Love it. Where are you ordering your interior parts from? I need to get a plethora of parts for my car.

varianfc3s 09-06-13 11:43 PM

Interior
 
Well, most of the parts I find on ebay and you can still get parts from places like Atkins Rotary and Mazdatrix, I'm getting my carpet from stockinteriors.com. You can find alot of stuff on ebay that's my main source, what are you looking for?

Are you building it to resemble the FC in Initial D? I mean for your end results :P it looks good though! and I hope everything goes smoothly

Ebay is going to have most of those parts and the sites that I
suggested

Engine tear down
 
6 Attachment(s)
Okay so yesterday I tore down the engine and it looks like I'm going to have to get some more rotor housings. The rotors have alot of carbon build up and none of the seals move freely(probably due to this motor sitting for so long), I will start cleaning the rotors today and get them put back together and wrap them in some cling wrap until the rest of the motor is done, I had hoped to have this done today but since i need those rotor housings it looks like next weekend, does anyone know where I can get some good used housings at a good price?

sebas0211 09-08-13 02:37 PM

FromEver 09-08-13 09:28 PM
