How do you put gas in that there thang? I don't see the fuel door anywhere...mmmmmm

 

hurry up i want to see this thing already. :P

driving in 20 deg weather jeez, be careful out there.

 

****, i knew my car was lacking something! haha. it has a fuel cell, i get to make a big scene at gas stations when i fill up now, ha. :p

towards the end of this month i will have it 100%. Im sprayin the engine bay currently.

I dont drive the car yet, plus i wouldnt in anything under 65* anyhow. I dont have heat in it.

 

One thing pops into my head when I saw the car............Batmobile.;-)

Props on the look, nice car

 

^^ no joke i get the same feeling, whats it called....the tumbler? from the newest batman movie? the super beefy look in the back with them tires screams "i can eat you on the road and on the rooftops" very nicely done, super aggressive stealth style. u must make a lot of the "street racers" around the neighborhood drive away like dogs with their tails between their legs. also, now i want to source and get one of those FEED wings, i usually thought only the 99+ wing looked good on the FD's but u changed my mind.

 

Have you thought about molding the flares? Also, the car would look even better from behind with some '99 spec tail lights

 

Fd looks bad azz man!!

-J

 

Thanks! Batmobile for sure! BATMAN (rx7club memeber) might get jealous if he sees that comment!!! haha

HAHA "and on the rooftops" that had me laughin good. Im stoked on how aggressive the rear turned out, its exactly as i had planned. Something that when you see rolling around on the streets that says: "you wont like me when im angry" hahahaha. Of course the powerplant is there to back it up and then some.

theres a few members i have seen with the flares blended/molded smooth and i personally do not like that look at all. to each his own of course, but it creates too large of a smooth rounded area for me. The way i have mine, the door lines follow through to the flares when viewed from the side. I was in art/graphic design my whole life in HS and college and that **** is still in my blood. haha. If you could imagine my car with the doors actually on it pictured below, youll see what im saying makes some sense. This pic was from a month ago.

As for the tails, im gonna keep the US specs, i see people all the time with other cars with rattle canned tails with circles all the time mimicking the 99 FD's and lets just say it left a bad taste in my mouth, LOL.

 

any other color and i wouldnt like it. but black looks ******* sweet with this kit. though i hate those style of rear fenders. you have made it work for me!
btw. is that a carbon fiber rear hatch? or is it not color matched to the new pant yet?

 

filler cap in the hatch... would you think he just wouldnt fill it up?

 

I agree with you, I like the old-school lights and rotary Mazda emblem. I find the fake Infini and '99 are a bit too "J-spec" to me which is the equivalent of ricer in my book.

 

lower it another inch or two and get rid of the Chevy suburban tires

Damn, i want a black FD for a street car.

 

Rattlecanned tails? I meant purchase the authentic JDM '99 spec taillights.

 

The tires are a 35 profile, but they're 315 wide and a drag radial so they have some sidewall to them thats for sure, lol. I thnk the car will sit a little lower once i put some miles on it, the interior is back in, both doors, some fuel, and ETC. Ground clearance is an issue with my long tube headers, i just re-fabbed my 2-1 Y-pipe. I had to modify the tunnel a little bit just to get the exhaust 1" higher than what it was before. Then again, i did a lot of weight reduction to this thing too, ha. I'l see how it sits completed once i put some miles on it and go from there.

 

nice nice!!...i'm just a dumb kid but i think some super wide enkei rpf-1's would make this the sickest car EVER!!!

you probably don't want to give away your secret but what black is that? do you have the code?? I like!

 

i Lust

 

Alright, where are the follow up pics....I wanna see what this looks like when it is complete. and where can some one find those rear fender blisters?

 

lmao @ needs more cowbell.

@op: that *** shot is FREAKING AMAZING. I love seeing the external pump on the left and the exhaust on the right.. talk about intimidating.

 

a turbo hayabusa and a fd with a ls in it....
livin my dream. lol.

 

So far its looking well put together. What did you do as far as the mouting kit for the LSX. T56 im guessing?

 

sick ride man congrats.

johnny

 

So why was this moved from the Interior, Exterior, audio forum?

 

I understand and appreciate what you're saying here. If this truely is the case you should mold the section of the flare that does sit under the door (side skirt area). I think it'd look hot. Just my $.02.

 

Done?? (!) I want to see the front of this thing!

Updated pics or there is nothing good about you or anything that you do.

 

I don't know what they could do to the front fenders to look as aggressive as the rear...and blend in. come on, where are the pics?
