Hey Rob,

Was nice meeting and chatting with ya for that small bit of time I had on my lunch break! I got tied up with work later on so I couldn't stop by. Would love to see the car next time!

Dude I know I've been out of the 7 game for a long time, but never did I ever dream u guys would be dropping 4 rotors in the FD. You guys are fucking nuts, I fuckin love it. Love your vids too Rob, makes me want to sell my kids and get another FD!

Ha - I'm a deleted member, awesome! ��

That's actually quite ugly. Reminds me of a Cadillac

Care to elaborate on which parts of it you find ugly? (The Furai part?)
..If so, you'll have to get with the Mazda design team on that one.

I think Rob has a Cadillac CTS-V daily driver so he might actually like that aspect if true, but I'm not seeing Cadillac anywhere in the Furai design myself.. (They have been doing great with their latest designs though, I must say..)

Yes; here's a see-through fade to show how it lines up with the actual FD front end:

To each their own, but I think it’s ugly like I think the veilside is ugly lol Yes mazda screwed up on the front. I’m aware it was it’s design. People are. Trying to take simplicity out of lines. Pretty lame.We all have our own tastes for sure.-Nick

The front end is ugly. What is it trying to be, the bat mobile?

Dude seriously.. I think your opinion has been made known. Your 2 cents have been registered

Agree with broke a baller. That shit is ugly as sin.

MattGold 01-02-18 09:14 AM

I personally like it. Good call back to Mazda as well.

If you guys aren't familiar, the Furai was a three rotor concept Mazda put out 10 years ago:

LO7 can you photoshop the RX-Vision front end instead? I think it would look even better than the Furai~

Any Mazda or Rotary or FD nut needs to know about the Furai. Simply amazing and jaw-dropping, and I still haven't forgiven the goons at Top Gear:

Here's a modified nose version with extra intake ducts, plus sideskirts and some extra finishing touches, as well as an RX-Vision version as per (edit:oops) Jojodotcom's request:

top rendering reminds me of an Aston Martin. If there was an actual grille opening on the bottom rendering i think it will look a little more realistic, but by god it does look sinister! :icon_tup:

The Vision 'shop actually looks pretty good... better than the FEED front in my mind, based on the other changes Rob made (rear flares, longer hood. The Furai was neat, but it was basically a modified ALMS car.

True piece of art...

I love the look of the furai... but I don't think it fits very well on the FD (nice photoshop tho).
