No one ask, so I better respect the privacy of the RQ models mah... else next time they recognize me then dun let me take their photos how?

So since you ask then I'll post them after processing. But at least now we know who's the lao chee ko... (ok ok, I oso lckp like u).

That's one of the more interesting cars I saw there... Look carefully at the rear and side view (especially the interior) and you'll notice it's not an RX-8!! Can anyone say FD-8? Or maybe RX-7.5?

I realised that the back looks like an FD but since the front and the seats were 8 seats - I kinda assumed it was just a rear conversion or this type RS that you guys are talking about.

so u mean it is an actual FD that converted the interior and front to look like an 8??

That is amazing if it is even less than 2.5kg a rim.

Wonder how much will a set like that cost? I'm guessing $20k a set. Ya I'd better start saving now

I am a bit disappointed...

Not that the shots were not good. In fact, I know how good a photographer you are, so all your shots look great... BUT... Where are the race queens ??? Who cares about the dry carbon rim... i want to see the wet race queens standing next to it !!!
