My FD was featured in "Klutch" automotive blog

This was my first ever "professional" photo shoot, so I'm really excited how my bannana boat turned out!

Good job restoring her. Yes, would like to see some engine and interior shots too please. Be interesting to see as it has gone from racer to restored street car. Oh, as an RX-7 enthusiast thank you for keeping another one alive.

Thanks guys! We did do a few interior/engine bay shots but I guess they decided not to use them. Actually now that I think about it they decided not to use about 90% of the info I sent.

Nice car! love the color matched wheels..

Now, I might just be being a picky jackass but is your front bumper a different colour from the rest of the car or is it just me?

Yeah, I never really understood why people do all of the newer body panels but leave on emblems that came out like eight years before.

Thanks! The wheels whe one thing I was thinking about changing up, but then again when are you ever going to see a set of Mazdaspeed MS-01's powder coated in CYM? As for the bumper it looks really close in color in person but I guess these pictures beg to differ.

Hey man, you should bring that FD up into the Shenandoah Valley. There are some pretty sweet roads out here for driving. There are tons of great cruising roads through George Washington National Forest. Or at least one i know of. Let me know.

Thanks,
Sean
