Damn some of you are harsh i think it looks good, and i don't mind the fenders much at all. But I would like to see a little more done with the engine even a show car should have mroe than just that a nice big turbo sure would look pretty as well as make some very nice power

RotaryResurrection: I didn't say it looked bad or ricey or anything. In fact, I think it looks awesome, I especially like the sword (right?) holding the hood up. I just think that with the hood propped up it should have something other than intake and some color. I already said I can't see much from that angle anyways.

Now that I whined a little I just want to say all you guys kick ***. I'm going to be fixing mine up once I graduate college, but you guys who work on them have my serious jealousy. Is the owner of that one on the board? I'd like to see more pictures of it.

I was at that show and on the inside I believe it was 2 15in. Kicker Comps where the bins would be. From memory I don't believe that there were any engine mods (high HP that is). There are hardly ever any RX's at Nopi. At the horsepower shootout the highest rotary there as like 325hp I think, 3rd Gen. I know there are people out there with RX's even around ATL that don't go......maybe this year......

I still say all those Mazdas look gay so I'll talk ****. Posting pictures of a tired looking FD with Veilside kit and stock wheels, wow! Ugly RX-8's, hate those things.

You're right though, I don't have a 300hp FC... Only a 13B-RE powerd FC with over 400hp. My bad!

Yeah, and you need to clean your rims more often, you can't see anything but brake dust.

No disrespect personally, just a little something to show you that it sucks to have people rag on your ****, which you have worked hard to accomplish.

No worries. Different strokes for different folks. I actually hate these forums because it's hard to express a joke or sarcasm so I just come off seeming like an *******.

The wheels are bronze with a polished lip so they just always look like that. No need to worry about brake dust anymore

Um, where? I'm an official old school rotorhead, and I didn't see anyting there that I would call riced. In fact, about half of those 7's were old school or retro 80's style, which is amazing considering the overall rice theme of Nopi.

I was thinking of something similar for my FC.

I agree with the comment about the peanut gallery, but I don't see how a peak horsepower number is a license for critical impunity.

Has anyone noticed it's nonturbo?

Anyways. I kind of like the paint job.

I would toss the Efini emblem since it's not a FD and remove the shopping cart spoiler.

The gills/M3 side vents are a little over played now so I would move them. I plan to add these to my NA hood for added vented for the turbo until I can buy a CF TII hood.

They did do a lot of hard work to make it look good. I mean even the under hood is done right! Ask body men. Most don't spray that area.

With the whole you need 300hp to BS this... I think my car is pretty damn nice. I have gone for engine bay before body so far. It's not near 300 but will get around.

I do plan to fix the small dents and stuff but at $80+ a pop for side bump strips(needed for repaint) I'll hold off and get my car running great first.

BTW Kevin. I've finally started to get this car moving! lol like 4 months after you rebuilt my engine
It's having a bitch of a time starting. I have had to pull/tow start it lately to even run. Hopefully that will be remedied soon though. I got the timing dead set.

Shoooot... I'm actually kind of happy most FC's out there are NA and look a bit ghetto. Yeah, please send me those headlight motors right away too because I lost the fuse

I swear everyone on here is a jackass including me!
