The picture of the drivers side that shows the fender mockup with the 3 carbon? pieces slanted back looks super aggressive, something along the lines of an r-magic stealth/menacing/aggressive rare jdm kit If you plan to keep that, keep your car white, and keep doing your magic engineering along with putting the r-magic lights on there.. I'm sure they will offer to drive over and pick your car up personally to bring to the japan auto salon :| NICE WORK!

I think its more TCP magic rather than R-Magic. But either way, love the vents. Benny, you need to help me make some for my AD-GT kit so I don't have to use the standard vents that come with it.

Well since i hate the car i havent touched it in 2-3 weeks. currently im waiting to acquire an old laptop so i can load a basemap in to try turning the car over... my laptop is garbage and i was having that whole issue with the datalogit/ usb connector/driver issue. I've got a full week of work this week but MAY attempt to get it running/ready again after next week. this thing is full of disapointments lol.

and to add to it, not only can i finish building 1 rx7, i've decided to keep the fire burned rx7 to make into a track car....... not that i drift or race, but simply because it looks like it would be fun to build haha... then i gotta learn how to drive baahahahahha

on the other hand some other projects for people and this have been keeping me busyy
Chrome- It's actually more reflective... I was trying to take the picture without the reflection of the light so it looks a bit "dull" in this pic

So i plasti-dipped the car today... I dont love it, but i think it will be "okay" enough to get me through this year.. I'm hoping i can get into a big garage this year where i can do it proper. I've experimented with so many methods and its time to really paint it. I think ill try it myself and if i can do a panel well then ill try the whole car. Reason why i havent painted it is because its originally red, and was maaco'd white twice prior to me having owner ship. essentially it will need to be stripped down to bare metal.......... Also the body kit i made had tons of flaws, as it was my first time that was expected. now once i redo it and correct all the issues, then it will be worth investing to paint.

I still need to spray the front bumper, add a few more layers on the door, smooth out the texture and clean up the windows... i think im going to go back to the 93 bumper this year.

low light looks ok... a bit worried to see what it looks like tomorrow in the bright sun ahahah =/

When in doubt, call the Canadians.

My lover Alex came down this weekend to give me a hand with starting the car. He's my yoda. He was like do this, do that, now this, now that, and now start your car. boom. started on command! mind blown.


i really hate how the exterior is coming out but i kinda just want to drive the damn car so I'm going to button everything back up and just drive the car for the season. This winter im going to suck it up, strip, media blast, and paint the damn car.

^ Well tabarnak!! Alex is the man. He uses his Canadian voodoo to will the car alive. Seriously though that is pretty cool of him and its great the car is running. Have fun driving it and maybe he'll come down to Orlando and work the same magic on my car? I've got a great looking passenger footrest and nowhere to install it

And Alex made the grand tour and didn't stop by. Went to Goopy and you, but couldn't get out here.

Maybe this fall.

thanks, ill stick to driving at night LOL. i think ill be happier with the 93 with the current set up. then plan out a new kit. so many styling ques from all different cars/companies.. cant figure out which direction i want to go!
