That's a wicked-looking FC...I'd like to have that one on the racetrack...should scare all the Porsche 944 Turbos away:)

The wheels are cool too...I bet they're lightweight...

Johnny 04-16-02 07:50 AM

SleepR1 04-16-02 08:33 AM

The roll bar is kick a**, but what's with the crappy harness intall?? That's not the way to mount shoulder harnesses, unless you want a spinal compression injury upon a severe front or rear-end collision!!...although a spinal compression injury is the least of your worries if you do hit something hard, head-on!

how much it coz you?

I don't see anything wrong with the harnesses.

junt 04-16-02 12:28 PM

what front end is that on the fd?

Gene 04-16-02 02:16 PM

Yeah that harness is terrible. The part of the shoulder harness from the seat to the frame should not be more than like 20 degrees from horizontal. That thing it more vertical than it is horizontal... Not only are you putting weird loads on the driver, you are putting a load on the seat itself that doesn't need to be there, and shouldn't be there.

Wade 04-16-02 02:57 PM

So what kind of wheels are they?? Sorry, missed the Enkei comment, but can't get the message to delete...

Wade

87GTR 04-16-02 04:26 PM

the wheel is Enkei RP- F1

JetLag,

Thanks for the more pics!!!

SleepR1 04-17-02 06:19 AM

Note the Porsche 993-like front end on the white FD, "RE Super G"...

That looks WRONG on an FD...

Wade 04-17-02 11:54 AM

Does anyone know where to get the RP-F1 wheel, or is it discontinued or something? I can't find it on the web anywhere.

Jetlag 04-17-02 01:58 PM

SleepR1, Actually, that kit looks really good in person. The photo doesn't do it justice. That car is for sale at 25K dollars. It's got the Greddy/RE single turbo, coil overs, nicely done up interior, 17" RE rims,body seems all tack welded every inch or so=stiff ass boby.

That FC is a total bad ass ride! You should see the fuel set up on that thing. I'll try to find more pitures of it.

SleepR1 04-17-02 03:35 PM

Well for a Porsche owner, that 993 front end will look wrong on any car other than on a Porsche 993 Carrera!:)

martini 04-17-02 03:56 PM

Those mirrors (or very similar ones) can be purchased at http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/

I've been looking into getting a set myself.

BTW: I like the wheels on the FC in the background also. :)

Wade,
If you look on the Japanese site for Enkei you will see the RP-F1 wheels.

Since they are listed as "new" on the japanese enkei site, does that mean they will probably be sold here soon?

Wade

87GTR 04-22-02 08:23 PM

When I called Enkei in Japan they told me that they have no plans of releasing this wheel outside of the Japanese market. So I asked where can I buy the wheels from. he said you need to buy it from reseller in Japan and have them shipped to you in the USA.

and that is what I did. becuase Im not in a rush for the wheels I had my wheels and tires shipped to me by ship said 6 - 8 weeks plus the 6 - 8 weeks for them to make the weeks. so looks like about 3 - 4 months until I get them.

If you really want a set I get them for you.
