I took 1st place for FC... wanted to thank everyone.

I really wasn't expecting to win but it happened and I'm very happy. Thanks to all for your support. I really didnt show up with the intent of winning since everything fell apart here with people arguing and bickering about everything. I was simply asked to park in the preferred area and the rest is history. The other FCs there were awesome and congrats on great rides to them. Here are some pics of my FC...

Congrats, Eddie; that's one beautiful ride. Sorry I wasn't there to see it in person. You gotta be proud of how it came out; really looks fantastic.

The wheels were aroung 1200 with tires plus 400 to get them repainted. You can find sets for around 800 if you're lucky. I think CicuitTheory has a couple sets.

No doubt, that is an eye candy ride. I've always been a fan of the crispness of a White RX7. Congrats on the win.


So what's the next focus to catch the cosmetics up with the exterior? Underhood or interior?

Heading that direction with my TurboVert as well, but not as ambitious. My goal is to get into the 300's somewhere and still keep it daily driveable.

Besides raising the horse power bar, what's the next pretty it up project for it? Interior or underhood?

If you really wanna compare... base model N/A to what you see now...











Next is GT35-R with all accessories, of course RE diffuser, My SS fuel line set up, and everything CX Racing makes for under the hood dress-up LOL

Hey Eddie, you deserved the win. You got your car back at 1am on the day of 7stock and humbly entered the courtyard. You car is so nice in person, those pictures dont do any justice.


Now that its nice and pretty, I better see it on the track !!!!! Use the car for what it was built to do !!! Car would be so **** gripping on the track. or drift haha

Yep that was me!!! The same shop that did my work also did my FMIC and exhaust. Great with a welder I'll tell you that! A lot of people saw my car there and they hit up the owner asking who's it was and if it was for sale LOL thx for the love!

Thanks DK! You will see me out there doing some road courses once its all dialed in. I dont like when people build cars and park them at shows. If you build it, use it!!!

I'm happy for you...

Can't say I'm exactly stoked on the way it went down but that's not your fault and your car came out really well...

To all the people who bitched at me for entering it still kinda amuses me up that no one seemed to notice that I was the only competitor who didn't vote for themselves.

Oh, and now that you've won one you can pull the trigger on that LS!!

Congrats,
-Joel
