Go DCups!
This is a really fine specimen.
I'm always impressed by pristine interiors.
This dude really cares.

It has been posted a couple of times but it is worth seeing again! It was/is for sale. There is a build thread on it at rx7club.com.

It's close to perfect, very close, but there are just a couple of glaring faults that I can't get past...

The blue calipers. Come on. I don't care what brand they are... it doesn't look right, and I get the whole black, red, blue scheme but "no". Easy fix.

The stretched tires. Why? Pet peeve maybe, but it annoys me. Gorgeous wheels, but dial down the width just a little and fit it correctly. Not so easy fix.

Stickers on the wing tips, nose and windshield. Sure, he might be sponsored, but I dont care. They trash a near perfect car. Easy fix.

Cheap looking Mazdaspeed license plate bracket. Seriously?

Other than that... it's brilliant. Engine bay is a 10. Kit and paint looks great from what I can tell from the pics (not the best light). Interior is bad ***.

wow - picky . The only thing that looks out of place to me is the different coloured side lights . But I guess they have to be that colour ... The yellow numberplate does not help either

^^^ I think we just what found out Zumn's dream car looks like...

That's just a "bit much", don't ya think?

I'd take the Australian FD in a second over that.

Everything you are bitching about is personal preference

HAH "picky"
I guess I am in this case. The car is art... it's like critiquing a painting.

Can't help the license plates. I'm just glad it was street car.

^ i do too, gets some more color in there. But I DO think the wheels are way to big, both diameter and width. Otherwise beautiful.

I'm not a fan of the fake carbon fiber upper intake manifold. It's just a half cover that attaches with gravity and double sided tape.

Still think that this is perfect. Would be how I would mod a RX-7.

Picky.


LOL I would have never known that was a fake cover. Okay, add that to my list.
