Wise One Fall update (pics inside)

Here is an update on some of the cars we put together in the last 2 months.
First off is Hiroki's 460 HP FD now fitted with some new aero and Front and rear diffusers, along with a rear half cage and Aragosta coilovers.



Uehara san and Kagotani san posing with Hirokis FD and an instant udon












The Time attack FC came back from Paint yesturday. We are making a Titanium exhaust for it now so I could not lower the car for some better pics but will post them here later this evening or tomorrow. Here is what I have at the moment.









The painter misunderstood or we did not clarify that the rear diffuser was to remain black. it was also painted red and we will fit it to see what it looks like in red but I am doubting it will stay red. It is not on in this pic yet.









thanks for looking!

The stock rims dont look great in the first pics. I love white FDs. Whats the front bar? Its looks like a mazdaspeed GTC fake, i didnt know that anyone in Japan made a fake mazdaspeed?

What size are the rims on the FD? They look great, really what i need.

Stock rims were on the car because we took it out to Tsukuba 1000 on Sunday for a Wise One Track day.

Front Bar??? What part are you talking about? The aero parts are all Garage Kagotani.

The rims are 17"x 9"

The white front bumper, it looks very similar to a mazdaspeed, a few small differences. No HL covers, no letter hole, and inner folds.

Hey your right they are pretty similar.
The bottom is different and the sides and vents are a bit different but they do resemble one another.

Wise One is the name of the shop I worked at. The owner Mr. Uehara worked/ apprenticed for Kagotani and then opened his own shop to focus on Rotaries. He still does work with and for Kagotani when needed or when there is a race or event.
It was was somewhat strange to see that kind of cooperation between shops when I first came to Japan but now that I have seen it is basically the norm here it is not all that strange.
