Question Is there a build that you idolize/look up to?

So I was browsing Narita DogFight's website a few days ago and came across an FC that caught my attention...






And I just LOVED the way it looked with the cut bumper and aero/diffuser. I think it looks super aggressive, much like the RE-Amemiya FC. Didn't take too long to realize that this would definitely be my aesthetic goal with my FC (But I'm not exactly rolling in cash).

So I was just wondering if you guys had any builds to show that you've particularly favored or followed. The FC doesn't get enough love, imo.

I am a fan on the rotary but it would be fun to have a LS1.

Side note..what front lip is that on the LS swapped one above? I can't think of any that have caught my eye currently; Unfortunately. I just love clean mostly stock FC's..

I don't know, hard to tell from the angle. It could be this from shineautoproject.com?

Back in 2001 when I built my FC it was Option2 Video Option Vol 92 that documented the RE Amemiya FC2000 build.

It showed a simple FC build that was super fast on its Tsukuba circuit shakedown.



But, it was actually the even faster Panspeed FC featured in the Time Attack portion that really drew my attention and inspired me to do my IC/radiator set-up.




I actually went the other way with my FC body- made it look like a base model S4 except the aero mirrors.

But I was inspired by the FC's fierce performance potential.

My favorite is Kamei_satoshi on instagram. His car is mental - Tamon Design RE-A Widebody, Big meaty A048's, Bridged, HKS 6 speed dog box, >500hp, and he drives the hell out of it.

I love how the lines look on a fc so this user on ig is perfect with just minor add ons to give it flare.

Then theres the fc from speedmaster, trying to pick up a set of gtr wheels soon and hope to gain more performance as well. Its just another example of how clean and easy it is without going overboard on kits.
