ianmcintoshi Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 Love it. Still think they sound better than JZ's + RB's Cheers pal It does sound awesome but thats some statement lol. JZ's and Rb'S sound awesome!this sounds awesome, i love theselooks awesome!thanks mate Beautiful Rx7, glad the Glanza is stayin in the UKSC Family aswell mate.JohnCheers bud, and me too mate. Its going to a good home and if i miss it too much i can contact the guy and buy it back lolI love FD3S's...its gonna be one of them or an R32 GTR next for me, I'm sure of it.Although, I must say, that body kit is horrible.... FD's are stunning in their OEM guise.Id say defo get an fd ;) much better looking than an r32 as for the bodykit each to their own mate. I love the oem look too but i like my cars to be different to the norm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ianmcintoshi Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 Holy sex balls Give us a running report on running costs after a month or 2 please Would love an FC but think it'll be too dear to run( and rotten lol) As above please. always wanted one but unsure how expensive it could be to run.Right guys just a small update on running costs... after a few months of ownership with constant town driving (no motorway) and a mixed driving style im averaging the grand total of 8 miles per gallon :lol: im sure someone that does more motorway drives and has a lighter right foot would get more. On a positive note the car is booked into get mapped next thursday so hopefully will make some decent power at 1.1ish bar as atm its only running 0.5 and tbh my glanza was faster cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Phil.Yeah its not great bud lol, luckily i dont do many miles and i love having it as a daily driver so dont really want to get a runabout.

ianmcintoshi Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) Ok so got her on the dyno today, had some problems. The map that was on the car (from Haward Rotary) was all over the shot. Around 5000rpm she went mega lean all of a sudden Must have been running very hot at times... Glad i got away with it . The lamda sensor was giving some wonky readings too hence the insane mpg figures i was getting Thats sorted now tho and the fuelling is spot on. I had problems with the external wastegate meaning that she wouldnt boost past 0.5 bar However since getting home ive had the wastegate off and back on again and re plumbed everything and now its working correctly, car spools faster, and pulls harden even at the same boost. Ive kept it at 0.5 for just now until i get it back on the dyno for some proper power runs. Anyways she made just over 300@ the fly at 0.5 so im looking forward to more boost Edited July 19, 2012 by ianmcintoshi Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ProjectNoodles Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Nice ;) just checked your car out on fduk... looks a minter.Cheers dude Got a different front bumper to go at some stage and have converted back to pop ups with a vent on one side cause pop ups rule ha ha! Was gonna say when fitting this or these wings make sure it's well braced underneath like a big plate or something. They wobble quit a bit once you get past 80 if they are just bolted on I.e just drilled. If you look at my build thread I got my body's hop to weld some plates on the surface to take the foot of the bracket so it sits square on. As this wing sits on the curve bit on the boot lid. I did not want my brackets pinching inwards if you know what i mean If you wan to see what I did for bracing under the boot lid let us know and I'll send you a pic? Shame you live on the other side of the country ha ha otherwise could meet up lol. Anyway good choice of wing! Only fd's can really pull this wing off:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
