And excuse the jacking but 2gslse: Do you have a core support laying around you don't need? I am in need of one. Does it include the main support bar(crash bar) Mine was damaged by a Mitsu galant

True, but when I see an FD with some sort of sleek light kit, it just doesn't look right in my eyes. With them closed, it looks just awesome. With them open, I'm not seeing the car so I don't care

Sleek lights may look better than the pop-ups up, but do you think they look better with than with the pop-ups closed? Cuz that's pretty much the only time I'll be seeing the car and in my opionion, no lights at all looks the best, so I'll be keeping the pop-ups, just improving the visibility of them....... Not to mention the classic rock station that I listen too is playing music that I grew up with in HS. Since when did Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains become classic?

Damn Galant owners. Ask him if he wants a new set of rims

The lights themselves are still square and can use some improving upon, hence the KS kit I plan to use. Knowing me I'll probably toss in some Hella 90mm modules just becuase those lights are fricken awesome. Same ones I have on the FC and I love them.

in comparison to the FC there quite rouned and to further give the FD a more flowing look when there up mazda gave the lights a more round cover around them and ditched the very square 2 piece unit. are they still square? well yea, but if you put a FC housing next to an FD housing they look very different

but im bias as a mofo, i love me some pop ups

I don't need it, I'm good, it's a few little pieces that were cut out, it would be easier to repair it that to cut a million spot welds and weld in the new pieces... all your's man.

I can't believe I own an FD. WOOT!!!!! There will be a VERY detailed thread in a few months when I get into her, total build thread. We're going to use her as a rolling advertisement for what we can do. And as a template for a bunch of custom parts that we will offer, Tray and Phil will be the Test Mules. The parts will be "Dragon Approved"

Can't wait to see some custome parts

Sakebombs kit is really well done, i would have been in on the group buy had i not just purchased a fuel kit and meth kit. I have sakebombs brake lines let’s just say all of their stuff is top notch.

BigIslandSevens · 12-22-2009, 10:06 AM

I hear your points. And for me, yeah I like the sleek better. But that's why I like cars. many different styles to choose from for individual tastes.

I was watching some Nascar themed show once and Mark Martins kid reffered to ac/dc as oldies, and 2pac as classic rap..... I wanted to slap the TV. Guess that means we are getting old.

Pop-ups = win

***TitaniumTT*** · 12-28-2009, 11:34 PM

Cool, Thanks for the tip Tyler. And yes, you can bet your ass there will be plenty of custom parts

Is SakeBombs kit a dual light ala my headlights/Knightsport kit? I never saw pics of the lights themselves, but in skimming through the thread, it looks like an H4 replacement.... I are confused

Awesome when's the first group buy? Check out some of Adam (afgmoto1978) he has some great stuff you should check out could help with some fab ideas.

It is an H4 replacement with a projector and HID system a cool setup. I was going to make my own kind of setup buying the projectors and mounting them in the housing, but have them done and adjusted right would be a lot of work. From what i've heard the knightsport kits aren't very bright.

MaczPayne · 12-28-2009, 11:59 PM

SakeBomb HID's, I wished they made em for the FC

***TitaniumTT*** · 12-29-2009, 12:22 PM

I haven't heard anything about the KnightSports being dull, but that's an easy fix. I am more interested in the KnightSports Shrouds. If I could buy just the shrouds, that would be ideal. In fact, maybe what I'll do is try to get my hands on a set of shrouds - TRAY - and pull a fiberglass mold so I can reproduce them myself, and then use a different housing, I LOVE the Hella 90MM moduales that I have, as a bonus, Hella offers them as TRUE LEGAL HIDS as opposed to the rebased H9's that I have. They work great, the cutoff is amazing, there's no glare even if you're standing infront of them kneeling, and nobody that I've ever been driving behind has ever complained about them even when I've asked, so they are great housings, just not "entirely legal"

I need more time

The sakebomb setup has an amazing cut off, if you look at there little flash vid it shows how well the beam comes out

My car hasn't been "legal" in years

***TitaniumTT*** · 12-29-2009, 02:01 PM

Hey! I passed a legitamate emmisions test! I didn't have to bribe anyone to get my stickers........ or course right after the test was done I put all that fuel back in the map and as soon as I got home I pulled the Cat off and stored it in the basement.... but I'm still legal

Lighting seems to get the cops in a tizzy becuase of saftey concerns.... it's an easy to spot thing sometimes.
