Pics of your FD

I was looking for the FD pics thread but I didn't find it. If I missed it, please delete this thread mods. Here are some recent pics of my FD, getting closer to finished. I told some people I would show them pics when it was finished with paint and body but I forgot who all I told that haha. I know I told Brent but I forgot who else. So here are the most recent ones.






I have a Scoot replica hood to put on but the hood release cable was broken by the body shop, as was the bumper and core supports, f'ing morons. I'm also adding a RE Amemiya Pro diffuser replica.

Nice car, but how do you keep the tires from hitting the fender openings? Looks lke even a couple of inches of suspension travel would be one inch too much. Strickly a track car?

My suspension is pretty stiff. I have noticed that there is a little rubbing on the very outter edge of the tire, at least it looks like there is, but I never do hear anything. It looks like VERY light rubbing, if that. I had to have my front wheels cambered in a little more so my driver side wouldn't rub, but I want to flare them some more or get the Sanai front fenders that are already flared so I can put the camber back to more normal. Same with the rear, I want to flare them a bit more. But no, I drive it on the street mostly. I want to get it on the track soon but I have a few things to sort out first...mainly my new turbo kit and water injection, and of course making sure the tires won't rub.
