All these complaints...gotta lighten up! That is absolultely hilarious!!! It obviously doesn't go anywhere except the show floor and the trailer. That in itself is funny, but really, who in the hell puts speakers and a screen even on the hood of a show car?

I can't explain why, but I just keep wondering why he left the e-brake handle black. Maybe he just wanted something different.

I honestly don't know why you Americans don't like it??

This is the pride and joy of all the Australian FD3's. Currently there are at least another 20 cars being fitted out with the same interior (Mine is going to be a lovely tan colour!!).
I believe Rice Racing is fitting his LCD screen to the rear spoiler on his SP rather than on the bonnet however. Not sure how that will look, but each to their own.

I don't know why you all seem to be converting to LS1's??? We in Australia are now converting all our FD's to 12a power. Obviously we take a small hit with a loss of torque, but with modified twin turbos on the small block we are able to get stratospheric revs happening!! its all about top end power!

Anyways, I have to go now, I need to go pick up my new 22" chromies.

Yes, it's true..... This kinda **** happens all too often here in Australia. It is very unfortunate really, but the biggest trend in Aus is fucked-up 20 inch chrome wheels.

But please don't judge ALL of us by what these GIMPS do. We don't ALL like this ****. A lot of us treat this kinda thing as the worst joke in the history of the FD.

And to top it off, most of these things are done by ethnic types, with waaaay too much dru..... err..... ahhh.......money.

That one definately doesn't get driven as far as I know, but then I don't follow that scene at all.


There is one that is more in a drivable state (as in it still has gauges), that has LCD screens in place of the headlights. WTF...?

The really sad thing is, these idiots actually get in fights at these silly shows, over who has won.


So in short.... PLEASE don't get mad at Australia, just because there are tools that do this to cars. There are those of us that would quite happily drown the ******* responsible.

Yep thats Autosalon Australia for you. You'll find that sort of crap on not just the FD but just about every entrant in the show.

Is that screens in the side view mirrors too? Holly ****! With all that **** in the car it must be a big fat pig when driving, if you could ever drive it. Where else can you put a screen in the car, or on it? I think one screen is too much in a FD RX-7.

I agree. Some Australian's have brains lol. We know not to screw up our FD but like balck talon said, this is the trend in Australia, they all put 100k+ (AUD) into their cars. I have a mate who just finished building his silvia S15 and put about 125k+ into it which a company by the name of queenstsmash built. Its now featured at all shows, on its first show it won 4 trophies, but 4 trophies is not worth 125K!!! Suprisingly, this FD is one of the best FD's in Australia. Not better than mine though

The ONLY thing that i can appreciate is the time and skill it takes to produce an end result such as this. the end result is a mockery of an FD though. And it was time wasted producing TERRIBLE end results.
