StavFC That engine is one ugly color. Turbo setup is godly though.

 

Thats just a blown mockup engine I sprayed over the filth with a random can I found on the floor.

The real engine looks just as stupid as the turbo does...

 

Thank you. I'll be searching for that kit. It flares just like the d1 drift kit for the s13 hatch. I've been searching for a kit like that for my fc for a while. I've never been a fan of bla k on the fc (even though mine was black before sanding), I always thought it hid the body lines. Maybe urs is a higher gloss, but in ur pics the body lines just pop out of the car. I would love to see a pic with the new hood on it. Anyway you can post one up?

 

Yeah the kit is great, a couple friends tried to tell me it flares to much but with my wheels offset and neg camber it actually is perfect amount of flare. So my only recommendation is lots of camber and low offset wheels for this kit to make it look right. The black is actually just a cheap black paint job, I think the body lines pop so much because of lighting and angle . I was going to put a new hood and some other stuff on it for summer but decided ill spend the money on putting a new motor in it so maybe this fall it will get some new body parts and a fresh coat of paint.

stavFC: I take it your a michigan fan

 

got a long way to go, was planing to paint the engine bay this week, but now I am going to be flying out of state to see family for a few weeks/months. Not sure when I will be back.

 

have a safe flight bro!
have fun

 

dropped in the t2 and repainted engine bay


amazing what you can do with rattle can lol

 

go lakers!

 

Lovin those fenders!

 

Hmm idk why it wont let me quote the pic :/ . Lol

 

Hypertek: props for working on your car outside. I would go crazy if I had to do that lol.

 

thanks guys. Its not too bad, at least its not summer yet before it gets blazing hot, hopefully Ill have it done before then. I hate the location of this house, but huge land property and having this area in the back makes up for it, i dont have to worry about neighborhood complaints etc. Going to visit my fam *grandpa isnt doing very good, may pass in a few days* and my pops is giving me a 99 blazer at his house in kansas, i just gotta fix it and drive it back, so then my rx7 wont be my only car, i can then take my sweet team and do everything right. Id like to paint it again in the near future too, knock out all the imperfections and make it really sweet.

Here is an interesting picture i mocked up.. comparing the old 240sx i had, and the fc

They have similarities, but easily can see the FC having a much more solid chassis. I liked the wire tuck job on the S13 though it pays the price for it with having potential to rub against the tires.

If it were me, id try to fing a light weight rim

or enkie ekm3
or gtc01
or pf01
lol
sorry im on a enkie fetish right now haha

 

they look good as is!
i think those bbs wheels suit the s4 very nicely

 

like this??? hahaha

 

this

 

BBS RS. Similar look, but better sizing. They look gorgeous on S4s .

 

^ See thats what I'm thinking. Although some of those Enkeis ROB mentioned might look legit. I've been hunting for a perfect set of BBS RSs for a few years now. I really want some 16s. I'm also wanting some white 17 inch Advan RGII version 1s.

 

My grandpa passed away this morning, My flight is set for Saturday. I wanted to knock this out before I left. Satin black




I messed up a spot on the passanger side strut tower =(
gotta wait til it drys, sand and then respray.

 

^ You keeping the car white?

 

I do plan to paint the car later.. i do like the white, but i can see myself switching it up.. but i think my car in white is kind of iconic. Black engine bay on a white car aint too bad. I think a lot of new cars have black engine bays now a days. If i had more time i could probably have done the front section.. maybe when i get back.

 

Axis Klassics are similar to BBS RS with some nice sizes and offsets.
