that is wicked, very nice build so far!

looking forward to the final build.

 

Small update nothing much i'm affraid:

Wheels done, before effects



Hard to see in the articffical light but heavy purple fleck over the top,





engine bay painted, less some airbrushing, and engine back in:

 

Wheels look awesome. Leaving the car red?

 

No going blue and white to match the wheels and under the bonnett

 

Awesome!

 

SWEET.. Cant wait to see it all done

 

this is the crazyest build up thread ive seen lol I feel like im not the only one that changes his mind half way though something lol but this think looks great cant wait to see it all done up.

is this gonna be a show street car or just street?

 

Yes mate a mad one at the best of times! Thats the problem when you have the tools to do this stuff. You get an idea and it just kind of happens!!!

It will be my daily driver when its done but i'll cut no corners on the paint when i do it.

 

what rims are those? they look awesome!!!

 

that exhaust is drop dead sexy

 

Thanks fella, they are repainted Rota rims, gunmetal from the factory

Thanks dude, took ages to work out. Full Equal length @ 94"



Here are somemore of the wheels, this pretty much brings the build up to date to be honest!

Modified Yam Blue with MAAAAADDDD! crazy Xerallic overlay Pics really don't do any justice

 

The build is going well i see! very nice work!! i want to say that I've always wanted to duplicate the telescoping intake manifold for the le mans 787b r26b into a 13b but i have quite a bit of reading to do but i i can get some 1/3 of the power the r26b made (700hp) that would be ideal!!sorry went off there :P but i love the build !! keep posting!!

 

Cheers for the positive comments people, always appriciated

Got the wheels rubbered up and back on the car for a look see on how they'd look. Also now with 16mm bolt up spacers on the rear so now the 285's sit right up in the arch:







Also been doing a few late nights in the booth so managing to get some of the colour on too. Needs another coat of the Blue then i can get on with the white and detailing. Still gives an idea

 

 

Awesome!!!!!

 

It looks excellent.. Are you going to tuck the wheels more?? Jw!

 

She'll sit pretty much as she is as its a daily driver so has to deal with multistory car parks/speed hunos etc.

A few more late nights and have got a little closer:

These flames you will barely see in the finished product. They will be based black the i will use the blue in a semi opaque form over the top.

Anyway here they are masked; Old SKOOL.



Here are some more of the car now with the white in place few bits need touching up but gives you the jist before the laquer goes one. slightly different designs either side:

 

i freaking love the color choices. great job!

 

Got some more done last night 1 the advantage of having an oven
Will leave it now for a few days before i get flatting and polishing

 

Ghost flames nice!

 

Nice job!!!!!!!!

 

Cheers guys,

Hopefully get my ECU back soon then can get it in and fired up.

 

Out of curiosity what are the final numbers gonna be looking like? (Power wise)

 

Not sure to be honest, they are similar to mazda factory housings in location. We'll have to dyno and see.

 

Come on give us a guess lol
