Fortune seven. That's amazing!!

I was never a fan of body kits, especially that one but you pulled it off with the color. It really looks good.

Also what steering wheel is that?

 

Fortune_Seven that color is definitely amazing.

Zhe - thanks, definitely looks great.

 

Well, if it ever comes back to you, you let me know. If it still has that paint on and in good shape, i wouldnt mind having it.













Not on my car BTW

 

Loving this thread....

Car is always under construction. Currently planning for my high boost build. After that, its paint and exterior. Just got an authentic FEED type 1 bumper too

 

thanks

Thanks a lot guys! this is a sweet thread, some amazing cars, great seeing all the progress! And how styles have evolved from some of the earlier builds.

Do whatever you want with it but PLEASE!!!!! KEEP THOSE WHEELS!!!!

 

Hahahah wheels were sold to a buddy of mine.

 

It's a custom blend of BASF paint. Almost a battleship grey in two tones.

 

Dude this is badass.. Looks very solid and rock hard like undestructible kinda way. I dont think any other body would work well with this color scheme like the fortune. well done. BTW love the wheels too.

 

lol you are a bad friend!!! shoulda just donate them

 

Here`s how I first picked it up, found in at a dealership in texas. All stock and automatic. Being that it was my first car and I didnt know how to drive a manual it was perfect.





Just for giggles, how my backyard transformed. The matte black FB is the one pictured above. They grey one was my winter beater.







Came together pretty nicely. I sold the 2 fbs, picked up a new winter beater, sitting behind the rx7:



Then at the end of that summer, the motor popped and the wheels sold. Swapped in a series 8 from Japan2la and powdercoated lots of stuff. Also bought a v-mount kit from defined autoworks and swapped in a manual transmission while I was at it.



New wheels:



Summer 2012 plans:

 

Thanks, made a point of re-enforcing everything so it would be as solid as possible.



Supernaut I love your Spirit R!

 

Same to you man. I'm glad to see your car out and about!

 

Nothing compared to what most of this community has going on but this is when I got it.. late 2010 I believe? didn't really drive it till summer 2011.
Before:



And here's after a few days and a few thousand dollars spend dicking around in the shop:



This summer i'd just like to improve the overall look of the engine bay.. get the greddy elbow, and have the pipes the SAME colour. And do some other little things like dual oil coolers, finish deleting the air pump etc.. And its gonna need a rebuild soon. So jealous of how clean you guys keep your engine bays.

 

I HATE YOU!!!! Cant wait to see that build sir



I love that front bumber dude Do you track your car?

 

I want this bumper.

 

Mazdaspeed R Spec bumper! Nice!!

Too bad Mazdaspeed got rid of all their Mazdaspeed stuff.

 

The best part about mazdaspeed stuff is that the fitment is second to none since it's really not "aftermarket." I've had to deal with aftermarket bumpers before (not on this car) and it's just a pain. This one just fits up like nothing. I was lucky enough that this car came with a couple nice MS parts.

 

[QUOTE=FDmuri;10995237]^ you interior makes me want to throw up.. wish mine looked that damn good!. keep it up!

my before...


CRAZY.. I took this pic at my house when I owned it memories! Your new twin turbo set up is INSANE! Have you done any motor work since you got it???

Trev

 

Forgot to mention the type of steering wheel. It's a old Nardi flatbottom, what preceded the Kalista.

 

Okay, what side skirts are these? They do not appear to be 99 spec since the part in front of the rear wheel does not follow up to a point, it's just flat across. Also the bottom flow does not fit with the 99 spec design. They look like they could be polyurethane but who's to know for sure besides the owner...So, anyone? Info would be awesome, maybe some comparison shots? Thanks!

 

Actually disregard previous post. I found my answer...being tired apparently causes lack of search functionality. Apexi sideskirts.
