My FD3s

While waiting for my second FD3s, I had a lot of time to think about this car. I have also had a lot of time to think about how I want to use the car. I have three main goals for this FD.

1. Looks... I guess I still love the look of the FD and it will be modified with purposeful looks to supplement the handling and performance. Plans included RE-Amemiya G9 Front, Fujita Engineering Wide panels and Advan RS wheels.

2. Fast driving in the mountains. Of all the places I love to drive, the mountains are by far the most attractive for me. Find a nice road and go from A-B very quickly. The Touge Monster status of the RE-Amemiya car and as well as the street tuned ability of Newera's Black Fd hold great appeal and this style of driving remains my goal. To enter the Targa Tasmania has always been a dream and although I will never have the funding to do it, hard driving on my own local targa stage is always appealing. However, S-Tyres will not be fitted. This will be a street car, so Advan Neova will find their way on the car.

3. My interest in drift is not about full on drifting, but increasing my driving ability. Knowing that the car will see some track time at various time is will definately be focussed in this direction also. Hopefully simple setting changes can accommodate the odd excursion.

Bring it on. The crazy ideas keep unfolding.

I created a new blog for My FD3s Project. Headover to RE-Xtreme II for the current spec, parts info, diary and tuning.

edit....

Unfortunatly the greedy investment bankers forged the sale of this beast through oil and gasoline prices. from 135/l -> 193/l during the build period made this car unaffordable to run.

Limited driving opportunities from a lack of cash caused it's sale. After being sold... ( to a lucky dude in th UK) Gas has dropped to below 110/l! Ahhhgh! Anyway a new project was started here. Check my cheap, fun, NCEC "GT" Roadster.
