Attended the D1 Exhibition Match at Silverstone. Was able to park on the D1 promo stand and got to meet the Apexi D1 champ Immamura too!!







Out and about for a summer drive over to the MRC meet in Dartford, Kent.

I was asked to park up on the J-tuner stand at JAE. IAlso did a parade lap and had an interview about the car.








Got the new vinyls cut and applied after spending some time deciding on what layout I preferred!





The first showing for the FD at Japfest, Santa Pod.





Back from the body shop at last!



In primer, ready for the paint to go on.






I finally decided to go ahead with a new look for the FD and went for a complete FRP extrior change courtesy of Kazama Auto in Japan. The kit replaces front and rear bumpers and adds new front and rear fenders which replace the existing items and add an extra 35mm and 30mm to the width of the car. The kit required alot of work to get it to look even as the fiberglass used is very thin.





Some pics of the rebuild and single turbo conversion that was put on the FD after I had a waterseal faliure. A hose had come off the AST tank causing the engine to become so hot it even warped one of the end plates. I had a very large custom streetport and a TA45 HKS turbo along with a 50mm wastegate added by Jason Dullforce, who mapped the car too! He has been one of the most helpful people I've met!
