Well heres a few pics of my car completed! Still have some cosmetics to do like tint, new seats, put my cage back in etc but essentially all the body is done! I decided to stick with the factory Diamond Black - to keep it pimp - and easy to repaint bumpers hehe. Here is some shots straight off the gun. Its certainly come along way from being what it was straight from J back in late 2004.

I whacked on the Final Konnexion body kit with M Sports 25mm Fenders. I rolled the rear guards out about 14mm and I think Im going to space my 18x9.5s out about 15mm and put some camber in. The skirts sit about 2 inches lower than the chassis rails hence my ride height is a bit more than Id like. Ive spaced out 18x8.5s upfront by 20mm upfront too to firstly clear the coilovers but also to fill the guards. I had to raise the car up about 12mm at the front because my tyres started eating fibreglass... but now I dont scrape the front bar at all... a good compromise!

I have attached a preview but the rest are at http://www.sido-takushi.com/paintnpanel/finalk

It cost me $2200 for the fibreglass... all genuine parts... $3k for Panel Beating (you'd understand why if you saw the car... but my pic above can give you a hint) and $3.5k for the paint job. Im fairly happy with it... but it sure did cost alot!

Yo Jai!

That looks sik! Well done dude - the long haul is finally rewarding. Motor plans?

Who did you bring in the FK kit through? I have FK skirts/rear bar on my 32 but unfortunately have damaged one of the skirts and am trying to bring in another?

Cheers,

Lyndon

Thats really very very nice. Really not keen on big kits, but I think this is just so well done it looks good.

Ride hight is fine too. Awesome man. Well done.

Dark red leather interior would top it off hey :P

Very the fat... Good too see something other than uras. Who did you get the kit from? Might check what they have for laurels... as that seems a pretty good price :) Ride height looks ok.. You might start ripping of bits of glass if you go much lower

If ur still waiting for that Taxi click on my sig... They should be able to help ^_^

Um I got C-Red in WA to source it for me. www.c-red.com.au

I was told it was a genuine kit although it did take alot of man hours to make it fit up properly... so Im not sure... although I paid good money for it.

If it was a genuine then it should have had the final k stamp on the inside of the kit :(

Yeah all the body parts had the old school Final K logo stamped on fibreglass and layed under the top layer of glass... but it cost me $1k in labour to make it all fit... had to cut and tuck the bumpers as they were about 10mm too wide on each side!

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
