WOW very clean. I was always under the assumption that it is very hard to get after market seats to fit well in an FD. What was your experience with the fitment of the Brides?

Bride = Wedding Lol!..search under 'Bride seat gradient material'

You can purchase the material through RHDJapan and they can get it for you.

It is going to be this exact House Of Kolor Candy paint below:

BigWillieStyles Yellow might look good, im a fan of the factory yellow.

You might be able to get a clear coat on top of the black that stops the swirls.

What type of camera do you use?
Just used a 8megapixel Canon camera, no flash.

MAZDASPEED08 wow one of the best looking ive seen. keep it black!
Love to keep it black, but hating the scratches and swirls in the sun. Rather just change the colour.

phinsn98 WOW very clean. I was always under the assumption that it is very hard to get after market seats to fit well in an FD. What was your experience with the fitment of the Brides?
Fitment issues - none. Shoulders hit the door abit but its really nothing. Doesnt affect my driving or the seat at all.

Could you post more pics of the seats, especially door clearances. I'm debating purchasing the Stradia because of the lower bolsters. Any complaints entering and exiting the Gias?

RX72NR- Sorry I dont have anymore pics of the seats showing the door clearances, the shoulder area just touches the door trim when you shut the door. Doesnt affect the seat or trim in anyway.

Like every fixed bucket seat getting in and out of them is a pain, you might be better off with the Stradia because the Gias sides are high.

13bmaniac- Yes, just what is listed on the specs on the first page is all thats been done to fit them. It was a bitch figuring how to make them fit but in the end they did and perfect. No issues at all.

thanks
Chester

I lied about black wheels lol.

Here's the plans, trying my best to book the car in and order in stuff:

Burnout front and rear fenders got the sack. I always seem to get talked out to not get them.

Paint is HOUSE OF KOLOR SUNSET ORANGE (Shimrin - Designer pearl | White base coat) Apparently is like Kandy but cost more per litre going off from what ive been told.
Carbon bits of course not getting painted (Bonnet, Diffuser, Mirrors)
Booked in for beginning of March (Workshop where it is going to be painted is busy until end of February)

Plans New Wheels and low offsets:
19x9.5 and 19x10.5 Volks TE37 Time attacks (figuring out how to get the most concave as possible, low offset not listed yet still working it out) No more dish wheels, its been done already.



x4 HKS DB RS gauges (comes in the same colour face and needle, similar italic fonts to match my dash cluster) to fit in the gauge pod and replace the defi's. Interior stays the same, not fussed with a sound system.


KnightSports V-Mount intercooler kit, get it re-tuned again.

Should be ready to be featured. Aim is to be happy and content with the build and be unique.

Mod list is in order to be done.

Hey, you might be interested in the link below. We're doing a GB on Burnout Steel Rear Fender Flares. Better option IMO than the fiberglass one's:

sorry guys, my photobucket account should reset soon so bandwith will be back to normal.

Im using Imagecave for now only....here are some updates.
Update -

ok ok, i got carried away and bought x2 Technics SL1210 MK5 turntables, 1x Technics SH-EX Official World DMC Championship scratch mixer, DJ Qbert Ortofon Concordes thud rumbles and x2 Technics Turntable road cases. See, I have been through 3 sets of decks, mixer and all, sold them and have always kept my records for club set, but this time there was nothing in the bedroom so I spent over $3K and all worth it.

Although now my paint job as planned in March has now changed it calendar date, because I got side tracked lol.

Rims and new bonnet soon, before paint. With the rims, just waiting for Tanabe to get back to Andrew from Mu Secret regarding the customising on the next rims we plan on doing -if they can do it.

Just purchased a set of imo one of the best HID kits in the market from BELOFF. All factory OEM fit, including special bracket mounting for ballasts and everything else. Did cost me abit over $1K....well i'll get over it....I'll just tell the Mrs that I just bought new globes lol. http://www.bellof.co.jp/







Also bought a set of ÖHLINS by PANSPEED. Fark, this bit the budget costing me over $3K....but only live once, will be fitting these this coming Saturday, have put up my MazdaSpeed Coilovers for sale and already have someone organised to pick them up from me once they are removed in the workshop during Saturday morning.

Do the HIDs have a cutoff on them? They look like they are upside down and installed on the wrong sides. Should have a distinct line across the top to prevent blinding the oncoming driver. Should also be lower on the left than the right.

They are for RHD cars (Australian, Japanese cars are Right hand drive) we drive on the left hand side of the road which is why it is lower cut off on the right to prevent blinding on coming traffic. =)
