Bought it cheap, Plan is to strip it and make it quicker than it already is while spending very little on it and doing as much as possible my self. Right now its a dog, has a £3000+ paintjob that quite frankly is disgusting and will need changing. I want to make it as quick as possible and use it as a track/road legal demo car to potentially use for showing off some hydrographic dipping and plasti dip that I intend to start doing as a business.
Specs are, 2.6 (1.3 rotary engine) twin turbo, 265 bhp standard at 1250 KG Aiming at 300BHP and trying to get to £1000KG and a quater time in the 12 second bracket with the handling of a go kart.
If any 1 doesn't know much about FD's they held the record for the fastest stopping time for about 10 years, still classed as 1 of the best handling sports cars ever made, in fat I just watched an upgraded FD destroy and upgraded 800BHP new gtr on a touge run on GT channel on Utube. In my opinion the best looking cars to leave Japan ever aside from a 240z and an nsx. known for a terribly unreliable engine thanks for its double rotor engine that usually requires a rebuild after 40,000 miles. Eats oil like it does fuel and runs about 15mpg.
Super wide body kit, same 1 as the mad mikes rx7 in New Zealand, this will be modified as well.
Fairly large exhaust pops when hot and hard shifting. Uprated plugs and knight sports ECU, Expecting around 300bhp without me spending anything just with the listed mods that came with the car will dyno though to check.
Some pro's though. Has full adjustable suspension clearly around the £2000 mark, Genuine ray volks racing alloys again around the £2000 mark new but no use for this car too small.
Plans are to rip out interior and all unnecessary bits, remove abs as it's shit for the track and the car is unlikely to be used in the rain as they are lethal. Replace a couple of bits with CF parts. Potentially replace intercooler etc. Possibly drill the pads, Stick wider tyres on, Hopefully 265 or wider. Finish it in matt white with matt black alloys. Hopefully all done for 29th meet.
