Some shit just recently went down since I've been gone so I honestly don't even know how much longer I'll have the car for. Might be going back to stock and selling this year.

Ohh dude that sucks! Sorry to hear, I hope everything is alright.

If it does come down to parting your car let me know, I'd take a few things off your hands.

We'll see what happens. I'll let you know though.

If I can swing it, I'll keep it. Nothing available wheel wise tickles my fancy though. I'm thinking of going back a bit. Probably some Panasports c5c2's like on the old Sexy Style 180sx.

Tbh it cost me a fortune. I think with the conversion, shipping and the duty that I paid I spent around $10.5k.

Yes, that's a lot of money and yes, I know I could of got a cheaper kit elsewhere, but IMO this is the best turbo kit on the market. The quality of the components are second to none, not to mention the amount of RND FBM are putting into their new products/developments is incomparable to anyone else. Plus FBM's service was exceptional through the whole process. Every email was replied promptly and they looked after me on price as much as they could. Hats off to FBM and LJ.

The way I look at mods is do it right the first time so you don't need to do it twice. Plus if I went for a cheaper alternative kit I know I'd never be happy with it knowing I didn't get the one I really wanted.

Flick FBM a PM on here and they'll be able to answer any questions I'm sure. Unfortunately I'm on my phone and don't know how to tag them.

Hope that answers a few of your questions.
How much was the shipping and duty ?

- Todoroki Jidousha fenders

After two months my Todoroki fenders finally arrived and they look good. The quality is great and they look like they should hold up pretty well. I wasn't sure what to expect with aftermarket, fibreglass replacements, but they've far exceeded my expectations thus far.

Now just need my new wheels to arrive and to hit them with some paint. I'm pretty confident they'll look badass.

I am in love with those fenders. Wise choice. They're not too aggressive, I don't like over aggressive aero.

I'm glad you asked. I just emailed them to check and apparently they're estimated to be here around the 10th or April. Thats much earlier than I thought! Will keep you posted.

Thanks man.

You probably won't believe this but they've never actually been fitted to the car.

They were originally purchased to fit my Kiwamis but I ended up selling them to buy Regamasters which the PMU's wouldn't fit behind.

So.... They've been sitting in my lounge room until my new S1R's arrive. They should be here this week! Will let you know when the wheels and brakes are on.
