speedhunters fc racecar build
Sorry to post another speedhunters story, but I thought this would be of some interest. I don't visit the site that often, but apparently someone there likes fc's because they seem to pop up often.
http://speedhunters.com/archive/2009...ess-v-1-1.aspx He's a bit of a newbie (to RX-7s) though. The S5 had just a little more than 100k on the clock so I'm hoping the internals are still in good shape. I'm not too familiar with these cars... http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagam...X7build_08.jpg |
he got a s5 parts car, and is putting everything into that s4.. when from the pics of that s5, it looks pretty solid.
you should see his first introduction post on there. speedhunters is cool, beware they create fanboys lol you can throw a rusted vw on there and it will instantly become cool lol |

yeah, I'm wondering why he didn't just use the s5. :dunno:
But that S5 doesn't look like parts car material to me (then again, any FC that has solid rockers and quarters is a gem in my book :lol:). EDIT: Does that S5 have a red interior? Is that even possible? |
Yeah the champagne colored ones had a dark brown/burgundy interior. Its ugly.

Really, you guy are questioning why someone would rather a s4 than a s5 for a race car? The s4 looks like a base model, it's got a wiperless hatch and he said he's gonna take the 5 lug from the s5 GXL.
|
Like cox said if you read the comments he said hes using the s4 because of the lack of a sunroof.
I dig speed hunters, pretty sweet cars and amazing pictures most of the time. It's not all drift stuff, they cover plenty of F1 and GT style racing. |
s4 body's are lighter than s5 bodys but the s5 motors are lighter than s4
|
probably doesnt have paperwork on the s5 anyways
|
Can't wait to see it when its done

He had everything for the S5..it had a little over 100,000KMS on the car. My friend helped him dismantle the S5, the thing was a running driving car, but he was pretty set on the lack of sunroof and all that.
|
He's building a racecar not hardparking, of course he want's the S4.
|
Plus he could fund half of the build by selling the S5 tails and bumpers.
|
I didn't realize it had a sunroof (can't see it in the pic). That makes sense. Is a stripped S4 chassis lighter than a stripped S5 chassis? What's he need the S5 for? Just engine stuff? He surely doesn't need the interior.
