Black, as much as I love this color... I think it hides too much of the subtle details and lines of an FD
White, can't go wrong with it, but I think it puts the car on the feminine/soft side and I want it to be somewhat aggressive.
So I'm left with red and gunmetal. OEM red is a bit boring though, currently on the lookout for colors and shades.
Welcome in here!

I vote red, if you decide to keep the rear OEM red reflectors.
If you want to get crazy, it'd be interesting to see it with a red chrome wrap.
A black chrome wrap would look equally interesting (similar to gunmetal, but more reflective)

I use a Nikon D7000 with a 35mm prime lens most of the time... no super badass photographer skills though ahah. Other pics were taken with and iPhone 5/6 or S6.
I 1up some of the pics with a bit of photoshop (coilover pic on the first page for instance).
My girlfriend insists on white but I'm like ehh... I will most likely stay with red. Probably VR with a little extra on top to give it an updated touch.
While I'm here I might as well post it on here too... I'm putting my Shine Auto FEED hood up for sale, plain weave carbon and you will need new aerocatch hardware. Asking 700USD / 915CAD for it + shipping. All 4 corners are good, the hood as 2 or 3 little nicks but nothing big really.

This looks pretty sweet.
I'd love to see it at a "realistic" ride height, but overall great work and I love the diffuser and exhaust treatment as well.
My only thoughts would be, A.) I don't love the widebody fenders with the additional crease/radius lines in them (ala FEED, ChargeSpeed, Burnout, etc) as they run counter to the rest of the design, but B.), if you were stuck with those I'd have gone with the Burnout fronts, because they retain the stock vent design vs. that cutout design on the FEED that looks a little awkward with the body lines, and C.), I'd loose those mirrors. They look a little convoluted and busy for the rest of the design. I'd stick with factory, APR's, or CraftSquare, or RE-A's.
That's just my thoughts though. Really impressed with the direction and execution. Nice work!

A- Personally I don't mind, both styles can work for me but I understand where you're coming from.
B- not a fan of burnout, they're too thick for my taste... However, I thought of going with chargespeed type II (the ones with the top vent deleted). I might switch to them at one point.
C- Totally agree with you on that, I actually pulled my OEM mirrors out the attic this morning, they'll be back on the car this week! Like you said, I think they'll flow better with the rest of the car. Some times it's better to leave it as it came from factory
Bringing you an engine bay update next weekend guys

Sweet ! I remember speaking with you at formula d canada. I had my yellow rx-7 fd, streetported. Lost my driver license this day. Your were sitting behind me, with your girlfriend. We spoke about your setup for 15-20 min. In french.
Salut Deesan' !

Wow. Possibly the cleanest FD widebody mod I've seen to date. Nice job man! I almost wish it could be made into a kit. Also, I didn't know the chargespeed overfenders were so clean out the box? The only pics you ever get to see of them they are always half covered by their janky looking sideskirts.

Btw, this kit is supposed to make it into production at one point
Thanks mate!
Here's the long overdue engine update at last!!! You guys tell me if it was worth the wait!
Bunch of 2inch 45/90* in 321 stainless I bought from aceraceparts.com for the new manifold
exhaust flange also in 321 stainless, going to get a bit of material cut off next time I drop by the machine shop (will resemble the ones Chip Motorsports sold back then).
Billet Throttle body adapter I got custom made for my setup. I can get more made if anybody is interested, just PM me!
Again the billet adapter with 3in elbow and showcasing HDi clamp connection. I sold my Wiggins clamps and got these instead. More compact, offer better sealing capabilities, offered in all regular anodize colors, extremely simple lock mechanism and they're like 1/3 the price. Highly recommend these! Their customer service was a bit shady/weird though, but it's all good as I received my parts.
New full 321SS manifold all tacked up + a quick polish job before getting welded
and finally the money shot!
This week I'm ordering black XRP HS-79 fuel lines and fittings for the fuel system.
My plan for the fuel setup is the following:
- Dual bosch 044 pumps in-tank on a CJ motosport hanger.
- -8 lines out the pumps
- merge them in a -10 line right after they come out the tank
- run this -10 line all the way from the rear to the front, into an in-line fuel filter (XRP or fuelab still debating)
- split the -10 line back into 2 independant -8 lines going into the fuel rails for a parallel setup
- exit the rails with -8 lines into my weldon fuel reg
- run a single -8 line for the bypass/return line back into the tank
In any case, this year I plan to simply get it running, prime the whole exterior and see if I run into any issues with the engine and whatnot.... Next winter I'll disassemble all that's in the engine bay, get everything powder coated black, give the bay and exterior a fresh paint job to seal the deal!
