In his own words, Ben has joined the FD elite and went for the wide-body look! "After seeing the Amemiya SuperGT FD3 I justknew I had to do something with mine to make it a road going GT car." He has done just that.
Wanting it to sound like a race car led to the exhaust being "reconditioned" to suit the largeness of the car. Monster turbo, large porting and wide body appeal certainly are influencing those in the UK. A show car that begged to be driven, Ben has caught the track day bug, which can definately be hard to shake. He is now dreaming of huge Brembo's and tweaking the Zeal coil-overs to get his times down. He says he spent a lot of cash. But just looking at those Gram Lights 57 F-PRO 18" rims with a dish a few inches deep and the stance the Kazama kit creates, he can feel satisfied that when he blasts past, everyone will look.
Not satisfied with the street appeal to get attention, Ben got his car featured on the cover of J-tuner(May06) and enjoyed a seven page feature in Redline (July06).
With a car being enjoyed to this level, who knows what will come next! In Japan? Touge no Mao!
Without a website to point at I am listing a few specs here.

Etc Etc .... and he is not finshed yet.
