My 3 rotor build made it on Modified Magazine.

My build thread (3 rotor project starts somewhere towards the back): https://www.rx7club.com/build-thread...ild-up-615499/

I need to thank a lot of people but most of them are mentioned in the magazine..

Few photos from the shoot (mostly my instagram photos from my iPhone)..

Picked up a copy a few days ago, very nicely done. Not sure if it was the lighting from previous pics at the SEMA show, but the mag pics really make the paint stand out.

The paint by far is one of the best I've seen. Not just saying that because it's mine... As I am pretty critical about all the other cars I've owned. Paint was done by a guy who's known around southeast as one of the best. I've put on polarized glasses to see if metallics were even or not and it's amazing how well Jonathon Goolsby layed the paint. He also did the last years main sponsor of sema Lokar's main booth car. It was amazing to see that car come together as mine was coming together.

Yeah.... About that.... Just couple of things holding it up. After the modified magazine shoot, I started take stuff off of the car and waiting for couple of parts to get in. Hope it will be running and tuned by next years DGRR. But I'm in no hurry. Just want to so the job right and not rush it. I have my now blk FD that I'm trying to have fun with. Doing some track days and hang with local car people.

Phil,
The 20b looks killer

When you put it back together one consideration may be moving the front shock reservoir away from the turbo.

Love the flat black car as well you have some simply MARVELOUS FDs as usual

Thanks Fritz! If it wasn't for you car wouldn't look like this (and I guess Carol too), so thank you for parting things out!

Yeah we wanted to show off and couldn't really find a good location. That was the best place we decided on. I'll take some temp on it and see. But realistically, I wouldn't lie. I'm an ok driver and this thing will be too much for my level. I'll start off by 300 ish car first. Also the paint job makes me afraid to drive it.. Job was more than some FDs.

Again thanks for all you do for the community! I have some cool parts because of you

I know. I went through the build thread the other day and it's weird to see from VR to know.
