Sup guys?

I don't know if anyone's heard of this new show or not, its on Global and the premier season starts in the winter.

I and several others have been selected to do an episode where we must build a slalom capable 1st in 4 days (acutally 3 and a bit) and race the two cars (built by the two teams) at Toronto Motorsports Park

Anyways what I would like to know if what kind of paint scheme would you guys like to see on this bad biznatch.

IMHO - R1 yellow mica with a large rotor graphic down each side, but I'd like to hear the ideas you guys have as well

PEACE!

 

sounds like a cool little contest. so you said it'a first gen?
i think if you are just going simple yet something that stands out, a nice glossy red would be nice
and if you really want the rotor graphics, having them in black on the red would look pretty cool.

 

clean eh?
not bad, what about any body mods? shaved handles, whaletail ?

 

i'm not a huge fan of crazy body mods, but hey everyone is going to like different things!
maybe a subtle body kit would be nice.

i think if you had some decent sized wheels that are sort of a dark gunmetal color that would look pretty mean also.

what is the budget and details and what not for this project?

oh, and be sure to post pics of it

 

AHAHAAA!!!

I'm doing this too. Better hope you're on my team pal, or you're gonna LOSE!!!

 

awesome, haha.

are there details about this comp in the internet?

 

Feds - THATS KILLA
yeah theres details on warofthewheels.com

i think the budget is 12 or 15 thousand, so boosting is gonna be a MUST!!

 

Oh - Feds, am I right that we're using 1st gens?
we could just pretend to do one, then we'll bring yours in on the final day!! LOL

I hope we are on the same team - the cayuga boys would be bringing home the gold FO SHORE!

 

Sweeet...

I talked w/Kerri today, here's the details as of today...

Original plan was 1st gens, but she can't remember what they bought.
Budget is 10k, but may change as builds go on.
shop is fully stocked, hand tools to welders.

That's about all I thought to ask. I may take a trip to the studio next week to check it out.

 

Congrats guys on the whole TV gig!!

Can't wait to see you guys in action!!!

Pimp those 1st gen's out!

Lates,

 

Perhiperal Port!
Whale Tail!

Make those cars as rediculously powerful and radical as you can!

This one an opertunity for us to flex the rotary muscle to the whole nation!

 

I normally hate all body kits, but I actually like the looks of the the old IMSA styled FBs.

 

snrub, do you have pics of that kit?
also, are they quite readily available

General stuff about the show. That civic one airs Feb 12th? so I guess none of this is happening for a while then? Good luck either way, cant wait to see it.

 

This would make it basically an "original" car and would demonstrate how good a 1st gen can look without looking ricey with huge wings and flairs and gaudy paint.

These cars are different from anything on the road, and it would be good to promote that uniqueness, while still making it identifyable as an RX. Every time you see one on a show or movie, you can barely recognize it as an RX.

As far as colour goes, maybe ask the TV people as colours show up differently on TV. Ask them what shows up really nice against the asphalt background and while moving.

Gotta have the rotary symbols on the car IMO!!!!!

The RX episode films the first week of September. Should broadcast next year sometime.

 

classicauto: After a quick search I'm having trouble finding any FB bodykits. I don't know for certain, but I would think that racing beat would have something, but their website is down. Mazdamotorsports most likely has something.
