Failed abortion. When style lacks and taste fails......









It's not an entirely terrible car. I will say that but the more i looked at it, the more i wanted to gouge my eyes out and punch my face in after rolling my hand around in superglue and broken glass.....

The front didnt look all that bad. I didnt like the rear. Not my personal style but good job none the less.

I think a car has earned the right to be at least a little out there so long as it's built for speed. If it's all for show then **** it.

I would improve the hood-bumper and exhaust-bumper fitment on the first, I think it would be ok if it's a speed demon. They're both fairly well done. I wouldn't have as much flare out on the kit for the purple one, but I have to give props for what look like RE Amemiya mirrors.

I don't like the styling of the front or rear bumpers on the green car.
The FC is so wide and straight in the rear that it needs something betwen the tail lights to space them out as well.

However, I will give credit where it's due on the metal work necessary to install those S2000 headlights and RX-8 tail lights... The body man should have cleaned up butter fitment before painting it, but it's good rough work.

The purple car looks better than the first by a long shot. Anyone that did anything other than double take on that atrocity should consider getting a civic and some neons.

I kinda dig the front of the green one, well not really, and the purple one looks alright, I do like the color, but overall it's a little too flashy for me. I wanna say that the purple one looks like it has some rice in it, but you ****'s would be hating and telling me to get a civic. and just FYI i'm sure the RE Amemiya people eat rice quite a bit.

Both are uk cars. Remove the stickers off the purple one and it's just ill.


The green one is 100 percent rice. I dont give a **** if it is fast. It has styling cues from the autozone-tuned hondas that started blowing the hell up after fast and furious came out.


It is just a car either way. Alot of work went into it......to make it look like ***.....

purple one deffo not a UK car, its Japan (green POS is of course)

looks like an MSC comp number sticker on the white S14 in the background, so looks like it was taken at an MSC event

not many nice FCs in the UK at all really, people only in the last few years realised they nice cars to tune.

the green one is pretty cool is always good to see someone doing something different with the 7 but when i comes to the body everyone should know when you do that much work it is the little things that wil make it look bad like the hood not lining up and fitment on the back but after that is fixed looks sweet from the front and side

At least the green one is being driven in the snow so hopefully the rust will kill it soon and put it out of its mysery.

I think they both have their pros and cons. But hey, I would take either of them just as long as its fast, looks don't matter much to me.
