Was a bit worse after I took this shot, that was the lighter stuff:
how much snow did you guys get overthere? I only got about 5cms in Surrey... Grouse Mtn got dumped on.. 47cms in 24 hours.

Hey man,
I'm currently looking around at different bodykits for my rx7 and i love that front bumper. What sort of bumper is it? A Vertex?

I made my own with a carbon fiber plate. You can see it on this thread:

It's nothing special, but it works, thank you.
You could have it upside down, it would be pretty much the same.

Well my hope is to run the V8 with a top mount blower. So, a bulged, or cowl hood would be neccessary.

"Hilarious Motorsport" ... Is that referring to your rear wheel setup?
Is that even practical? Do you drive this on the street? That looks both comical, and dangerous. Not sure what look your going for, but that just looks plain silly.
The rest of your car is super slick tho....

Hilarious Motorsport is the photographer's splash logo.

It is driven on the street, drives like a monster, sits on Ohlins Coilovers. Handles perfect, ride is set perfect for street and can be changed for track.







Thanks for your opinion. I love how it looks, you need to go out and buy some Option Magazines http://www.jdm-option.com/, RX-7 Magazines http://www.planet1986.com/7-mag/index.html, Hyper Rev's and see what look im going for, many cars in Japan, especially drifters have wheel setups like mine and they go completely sideways.

I have SSR Type-C's for track, drag or for when ever the car needs some thrashing.


SP1's are for Street and show, its not like im going to race here on the streets, NOW THAT'S PLAIN SILLY, two of my children wont appreciate that especially the mrs . Get busted racing on the streets here and they confiscate your ride.

Teaser photo of mine...

I am rebuilding an FD that was in a engine fire.

Before...


Teaser... (still currently out for paint) This is a photo provided by my painter from his cell phone.


He's currently working on the engine bay... I'll post up more photos once I get the car back.

(PS: the car is sitting really high due to missing parts: motor, trans, rear diff, axils, ppf, exhaust, etc.)
