Jap Spec Series 5 FC3S - Twin turbo rew conversion!
#176
A few very little updates as she just been working great, no issues at all.
Got some ebay trucklite copies, always liked these lights, proper light patern modern but not over the top etc.
decided to put my white painted trims too, probs shoulda gone with black thou.
During the day but you can see the dramatic difference in output.
Also printed some centre caps for my wheels, a couple of revisions before i went ahead with the final design, has a little flair but ultimately pretty simple.

Okay updates, very slow cos once again my **** just works!
I love my tein super streets, they handle amazing and i put it down to not having a high spring rate.
But, then i decided i wanted more lows and this is it...
without removing one of the locking rings that is as low as the rear will go, fronts have some more but pointless as thats even.
Also new home with new garage is dope!
And back at classic japan 2019, got a dope spot and ill let the photos do the rest.

Sorry this is gunna be a bit of photo dump, lots of small things have been seen to.
A couple of 3d prints that i did, its a vent with a nice guide for the wires to come out.
And a replacement part to clean up the centre the slot captures a phone at the right angle.
Window banners are cool right...
My 2 stroke oil resivoir has always been leaking and finally decided to see to it,
If you look at it you can see why this wasnt sealing well, i dont really know what i expected to happen.
Also i feel like the 2 stroke oil was reacting to the hose material and made this fluro green sludge...
Definately overkill but damn an lines are tight...
Need some p-clips but you get it.

Removed the jdm as f#ck hks silicone in substitute for some black stuff, as i said small little updates...
With all this free time decided to finalise the vented bonnet for paint, started with the underside.
Didnt really cut out much but enough it is no longer visible from the top.
Scuffed it all and then primed.
Fixed up a few little issues with the primer and filler, final prime and 800 wet sand its now super sleek and ready for paint.
Chucked it on the car, cant wait for paint its going to look awesome!
Took some engine bay shots while the bonnet was off as you dont often get a chance to see these angles.

Another little project was improving my ducting pannels.
Lets do a comparison from my first version,
Before.
And my latest version,
After.
Decided to clean up some dints and improve the cosmetics of the radiator pannel too, also cut around the brackets for the intercooler as previously i had to take them off to get under panel where my relays and other bits reside.
Its only 0.5mm aluminium sheet, this is why it doesnt look flat. if it were easy enough to get / could be bothered would definately give it another go in 1mm.
Re-spray in a ghetto red metalic lol
