rob fd - sleeper spec

[rx_dreamer]

Always liked a c-west bumper

What are your specs please?

Wheel specs are 18x9 +38 (10mm spacer) - 18x10 +38 (20mm spacer)

Work wheels have added options most wheels don't and that brake size specs which a very important for fitment and cause quite a lot of headaches lol. You could run less spacer on the rear if you have stock brakes or L,R or T variant, i'm using 0 wheel variant type on the rear so require 20mm to clear the big 4 pot caliper. I appreciate thats not very helpful lol. If you are wanting to fit work 3 piece wheels your gonna wanna do some research first before diving in lol.

A bit more done putting it back together and few pics. Hopefully get the time next weekend to get it fully back together and give the panel alignment some final tweaks, not even got to adjusting the lights yet. Then have some electrical and mechanical jobs to knock off, make a new exhaust, get the alignment done and then gonna up the boost for a bit more power.

Love it

 

[rob fd]

Didn't get as much done as I'd of like to this weekend. Fitted the BGW and, painted and refitted the sidesteps. Coming together now just gotta do the diffusers and then some final adjustments to panels and that's the bodywork sorted. Then onto mechanical, fabrication and wiring jobs before more boost

Yeah the DC5 is my track car. PS don't mind a white jap missile lol

Needed a front plate for the FD as I'm personally not a huge fan of stickers so had to make one, probably the most over engineered plate holder ever, made from 5mm ally lol but it's rock solid.

Car is now freshly mot'd. I'd done a mammoth 700mi in 3yrs since its last test haha. Should really use it more.

Fitted a can gauge to clean up the interior and get rid of the tablet display.

Also having a wheel dilemma now as I thought I'd try on the Rays again:

Think I'll just have to chop and change between the works and Rays now lol

Finally I picked up some clear side lenses and a cheeky spirt r spare key lol. Can't decide if i prefer clear or orange now though.

Nice welds

Interior perfection for me, nice steering wheel and no flashy beepy shit

Those column boost guage mounts are where it's at. I loved mine!!!

Car is looking mint mate, tbh i liked mine the best on my rotas.

Yeah its a ideal place tbf! The can gauges are pretty cool, everything displayed one 1 gauge keeps the interior clean!

Yeah not suprisingly really, cinema is brand new to north wales innit. Home alone just realeased lol

Few little updates, changed the exhaust on the car and had the mapped tweaked a little, mainly to improve the cruise and off boost, but added a cheeky 2 extra psi of boost aswell for good measure lol. Car now makes 459whp/540bhp 389ftlbs at 18psi. Of course the extra 30+ whp is nice but the driveability improvements are vast

Pic of exhaust(feed sonic sr) and 2 other pics because why not.

Yeah, 2/10 driveway, that moss in the cracks really lets the car down
