RE-Xtreme in Fuji

A little bit of action from Fuji Speedway Today. Nishiki suspension tuning shop put on this event and it worked in well with the regular NS4 session at Fuji. A good crowd of cars made life interesting for some. My car performed ok, getting used to the track and the car. The other Newera machines went well too.


Steven's yellow FD was carving up the traffic and Ian's Spirit R was looking pretty.

A great way to spend a public holiday.

Fast and Furious Reality

One of the few "REAL" cars featured in the movie. The lucky owner of this beast will soon retrieve this special vehicle.

It turns heads at every corner and while deliviering it to the dockyards with Newera Imports, I got some shots with my new 10.0 mega pixel canon Ixy IS 25.

Very happy with it's snapping ability. Stay tuned for more happy snaps.

RE-Xtreme FD3s Version II.

A few shots of my car after a wash and polish.

Recently there has been a few updates so the spec has changed a little. Check out my other blog for more info. RE-Xtreme II
The most notable additions are Aragosta coil over suspension Okuyama Three Point Strut bar and Cusco stabiliser bars. These combine to form a much more aggresive damping system for future track events and an enhaced touge experience.
Exterior wise, not much has changed, The combination of RE-Amemiya, Fujita Engineering, Auto Exe and Craft Square, combine with small touches from Knight Sports to create the very aggressive look.

Advan RS wheels in 18"x10" still adorn the car, however the 25mm spacers were overkill on the rear and currently the +25 offset is a tiny bit less than I require. The front will soon receive some custom ducting for the radiator to further improve the KOYO's cooling performance. Oil cooler ducting will also be installed.
Inside there is now a functional cluster of Defi BF guages with a Knight sports Oil Attachment being fitted for Oil Temp and Pressure. I have also added a Nardi Classic Suede wheel and Atc Suede gear knob. A new Carrozzeria CD player allows for som cool driving music. It is also colour programmable to match the Defi guages and i will soo do the LED dash mod.One of the other things planned for the car is a diffuser of some description, however the decision of which type seems difficult at the moment. You will see the car on track somewhere in the near future as the prep is done.
