Hi guys

I have a 96 FD (at least it is registered as a 96, but I am not convinced it is actually a S7 and has not just had a bumper swap, need to check chassis number with some of you experts).

Single turbo 360hp dyno sheet, premix 150:1, link G4 etc.

Always been a car person (I don't rebuild engines but I do all that I can) but last 3-4 years been into 4wds and going bush. Giving that a break now as ended up wrecking too many trucks (or I just have bad luck with Isuzu diesels). I have not owned a rotary before but always been a two stroke man on the motorbikes.

Cheers

Lewis

 

Welcome to the club Lewis. Your car is stunning. I would like to do the same thing to my fd that is done on yours. Do you know what front bumper cover you have? Brett

 

Hey Brett

It is actually a s7, I checked the vin. It has a vertex body kit. The front bumper is slightly the wrong colour but doesn't bother me. One issue I have with bodykit is that the paint chips easier than factory and reveals the white plastic below e.g. road grime sprayed up from wheels. Also the fitment is not perfect of the bumper but that may be from scraping having bent it a little, but I only have scrape issues with a heavy passenger haha. The side skirts also don't allow the doors to drain fully as the seal to them is pretty tight, but this could probably be adjusted if I reseated them. Its not quite as tidy as it looks but I'm more concerned about the drive as if you are 2m away it looks mint

 

Regardless of minor fitment issues I still think it looks fantastic. The bumper cover is just right. It gives it that aggressive look without going over the top. thanks for sharing that information with me.
