My RHD FC Build - Page 2

Thanks Ganashi and Johnson. I'm going to do a daily with it but it will take awhile so it sadly won't make sevenstock next year. But I'm doing it right from the get go.

Wow, that is cool, man! Where do you live? I would be a bit worrried driving that thing and getting pulled. The bolt thing happens quite often with FC's, especially ones that havent had the front end taken apart in a while. My car is a 1991 S5 model, and had the same exact thing happen.

One other thing I will recommend NOT to do, is to mess with the wiring harnesses on the car. I tried to rewrap mine, and screwed up... Best thing to clean them would be to use NON CHLORINATED brake cleaner, which would get off the grime, and then dry itself out withought residue. The non chlorinated stuff is also better for paint and plastic than the normal stuff.

Good luck with the car, mate!

Duly noted, one of my roomates spilled beer all over my 360 controller and now the buttons are sticky and smells like stale beer

*Ouch* tough break with the beer. Yeah the only thing I'm messing with wiring wise is the install of the Haltech I'm going to get (eventually of course). That and cleaning some of the terminals in the engine bay so that they conduct better.

I know its not my GT-X but I just got a new hood for my other one.

WE3RX7 · 12-16-2008, 04:33 PM

Which hood is that - old school bomex?

Nice Hood

stylEmon · 01-14-2009, 02:31 PM
