Here are some pics of some of the cars we have built over the summer, The FC time attack car is still being finished up. I will post up a thread later when the FC is completed with pics from the whole process but for here I will just post a starting pic and then a middle pic and then a current pic.
Enjoy

Freeway and circuit FD








Drift FD (we did not do the welding on this chassis Sanai works did the did complete long seems all along it instead of at 1-2cm intervals. )

Should be ready for exterior paint once the fiberglass doors and acrylic windos come in. Then it is time for intalling the drivetrain, engine, etc...

Wow, love the FDs. Who is wiseone?

I like FCs but i love white FCs! When i head back to Aus one day, i want just get a nice white FC for sunday drives. Dont get me wrong, i love the FD and modern cars but i just love the retro styling of the FC.

BigWillie: Wise One is mainly a rotary shop but does work on other cars for USS auctions and other shops when they need tuning. USS has a problem with people stealing ecu`s such as fcon`, Power FC`s, and Emanage from the cars at auction so when USS gets a claim Wise One is there to save the day and retune the cars. It is a shop in Saitama closely related with Garage Kagotani.

I work for a couple different shops in Saitama but mainly for Wise One Auto. If you ever have free time and want to cruise out feel free. You can pm me anytime for contact details.

Mate, if i was in Tokyo i would be out tomorrow for a look. But i live in Okayama south of Osaka. I would love to see some more pics from your workshops when ever you think there is something worth a look. How about a pic of your ride?

Do you have any access to parts?

The December Time attack is the Rev Speed Time attack event at Tsukuba Circuit.
It is pretty much the main Time attack race of the year. All the big guns come out and run for this event including. I dont know if Amemiya is going to start tackling the Time attack again as he did years ago, but it would would be sweet if he brought out his GT300 car or something else for the event. R-Magic has been putting on a good show the last two years. They were the fastest rotary for that last two or three years and Panspeed is going to give it a shot with an all new aero set up. Freakin GIANT wide body but I have not seen it all painted just yet.
So yeh that is supposed to be going on in early december.

S8 tails can be arranged via PM!

Glad you like my car mang!

Sounds pretty interesting, keep us informed about any details of this event or any other coming in the near future.

Is there an Rx7 club in Japan? Ive found a few small clubs but i would like to find someone in my area, i might ask my local rotary workshop.

The Suspension is HKS Hypermax Pro Gold, he was running Quantum prior to the Hypermax but the cost of overhauling them was not worh it to him the second time around so he took a step down.

The tires I will have to ask Mr. Uehara when he gets into the shop later this morning.

The rims are Advan racing (sorry don`t know the rims name). They are the same offset as a Skyline GTR R34 which i think is a 20 offset.

Frikin sweet FC work there. That stich welding is nice. Time consuming and tedious (Ask me how I know) but well worth it. Keep us updated on the progress.

stitch welding is more advantageous for older cars since the frame/chassis has been through a lot but it is also adds tons of strength to a new frame/chassis as well. It is not a good modification for a street car for the most part. Any small crash has the potential to ruin the frame after being welded.

Russ: Yes I am friends with Andy and I have met you along with Miguel. I worked with Andy at Powervehicles for about a year and still do from time to time.
