Pic of my FC Racecar
Was messing around with Photoshop trying to decide how I want to lay out my sponsorship decals and stuff....

looks sweet! Dear god what happened to the T/A?? Looks like she got rear-ended by a semi!
|
LOL, I knew I should have shut the garage door :)
I had an incident at Sears Point with the TA, trailing throttle oversteer going into turn 8, back end stepped waaaaaay out, caught it, but didn't get back on the gas fast enough and skidded into the embankment.. Hit with the nose, spun up the embankment, cracking the fender, ground effects, and scraping the hell out of the rear bumper cover, bent two wheels and blew 3 tires. Anyway, that's what it looks like without a bumper cover or rear tail lights :) No damage there, just a scratched bumper cover. PaulC |
OMG How RICE!!!!!!!!!
hehe, just kidding. I got caught up in all the "rice" threads today. :) Seriously though, I like it. Enough sponsors for ya?? |
That looks great. Looks like you did a very nice prep job.
|
Nice job man, looks great. One of these days i gotta go check it out.
|
No NOS sticker? :D
|
nice :D
at least they're real sponsors |
really nice car! :)
|
Sweet ass!
Is it still considered rice if the sponsors really sponsor you? |
Hey, call it rice if you want.. :D I tell my F-body friends that I'm secretly a riceboy at heart, just that my RX-7 let's me express it :) I figure it's justified, it IS a race car, not some poser.
Thanks for the complements, now I've just gotta go get the decals made.. PaulC |
no rearview mirror? Isn't it nice to be able to see behind you while racing? :D
|
That's what fenders are for!
Seriously, no, it's not quite finished yet. Gotta put the dash back in, hook up the brakes, and finish the radiator mount, as well as put mirrors on :) PaulC |
Yo,
Cool, is it NA or Turbo? What class/series do you run? Good job! KS 1989 GTUs "Is that yellow or green?" |
Yeah Silk, I've been meaning to pick you brain about what mod's are done to it, as I'm currently thinking about a setup for a similar track car. What mods do you have done? Whats the story on the motor?
