Craig's Project JDM FD3S UK Style

[Topgear]

Im forever moving on with my systems and trying new things so with this new build comes a new lighter system

As I have the tooling with this system I wanted to try tight spring slip joints for the centre to rear system

The start of the rear system with 3" flange upto 3.5" slip joint so the 3.5" system can be used with the stock cat pipe


Rear system








TGS Dophin tail







Slip joint stainless spring clamped

Well tonight I got quite a lot done on the car

I've move the AST back to the front of the engine and fitted a new over flow tank below

Also I managed to get the front floor back on



I also managed to get some time in her tonight to start afr tuning so I can get to the mot station safely done a large chunk of the cruise area and some boost runs upto 8psi

The turbo sound is awesome really is


Then I cleaned and cleaned as I had a good friend coming round to take some photos for me and here they are

Car looks jizzfactor3000 good!
Is that an oil restrictor on the turbo inlet or is it just an adapter to the oil line off the turbo?
Want some sound vids of it boosting up!

Bumper is back off

And this is the reason why the bumper is back off

This time I wanted to make a real duct for the v mount rad and cooler

Here are a few progress photos from tonight

[Topgear]

Ok just pulled the duct out





It's very light and I will still have to trim and cut the holes for the rad and cooler,I'm happy with the way it's turned out

Honestly mate, hurry up and move to Australia!
You will make a killing here with your skills you are showing, and there is lots of drug proceeds that are laundered here so money is no object for lots of customers.
UK and US are broke ass motherfuckers compared to us, you need to move and move now!
