Title: Some new pictures of my car.
Post by: chrno on August 16, 2007, 07:35:41 PM
Can\'t seem to find any really good photospots for it, have some ideas that I will try later this week but I felt that I really had to take some pictures so here it goes.

Pic that somehow shows my hood better, white cars are soo hard to get good.

Maybe THE nicest steeringwheel. I tried about 50 different models in Japan before I found this.

Looks stunning mate. I never knew the sweeds drove right hookers. Where did you get the cap and jacket for the brake ms and does your feed brace rattle like a biatch?

Thanks guys! That gives me soo much go to continue!!

RobbieRX-7: The brakecap is from FEED, got it in Japan but Newera has em, the Jacket is also from Japan, a sweatband from DIE HARD!!! :D  Says Live free or Die hard on the opposite side. :D:D:D

The Enginebrace is silent as a lamb, have you tightened yours up, as I did some proper twisting to get it right.

And no, I am driving on the right side.. Most people are sitting shotgun driving in sweden for some stupid reason!

Next mod in enginebay is plumbing the water temp sensor right into the termo housing, and getting the complete efini ypipe..  

And Carl Hayward is going to set it up with my new FEED Dp/Silenced Midpipe

FEED Rocket: I might have mine for sale in the near future (Read winter) as I am getting the Auto EXE strutbraces, and I cant have both. :(

This pic really is awful, but please note the Screws for attaching the numberplate. :P  Cost a fortune but hey.. you only live once..
Knightsports Titanium rotor washers and screws. :P

Will cut into the holder as soon as I find strenght as our Swedish plates are much lower.. and it really looks DUMB

Wanted a sticker but nothing too much. I REALLY love the big fat RE-雨宮 logos, but I thought this would be subtle and clean. I have a set of BIG white ones with the RE-雨宮 logo aswell but these will be here for a while.

You are a master Russ! :D  But my front isn\'t orange!! :D Can\'t wait to have it!

Alex1986: I bought them of RE-Amemiya at a meet in Chiba, Newera shouldn\'t have a hard time sourcing them, I have a spare set as and they come in a set of two, mirrored..  But I need them if I make any changes to my car.

Thx again guys for the compliments!

Russ: Is it possible to put the diffuser closer to the underside of the car?
Looks a bit low on the pic?

Hey Dandan,

Car\'s looking great.... Might have to get myself some of those extra bits for the rear diffuser too. They look great!

When you fit your new wheels next year it\'ll look better still!

Oh, I can feel a Key\'s racing wheel coming on too :D

The new centre Vent\'s now on it\'s way ;)

Just like to say thats a hell of a good bit of craftsmanship Russ:god

Ive been looking everywhere to try and buy the bits and bobs to make a kit of my own car, which wears the RE Amemiya AC037 (hope I got the code right?), as per my avatar above.

Any thoughts matey, or do you do commissions?

Thanks in advance
Chris

Miguel, yes I am affraid you HAVE to get one of the wheels. They are SOOOO nice!!

Still have to make up my mind regarding the wheels.. Maybe they release a new model.. But the ms01 ones in white would look good..  I choose them on the model Russ is making and I think it suits the car.. :P

Really it\'s all thanks to you and your company I have the car. So thank you so much for all help and very very quick service!

I know where I buy all my bits.

Dan,
the diffuser is just sitting on the table. It fits perfectly. :)

D2BBA
To make one, you would need a porsche 996 as a base kit. then mould it to an FD kit, with lots of putty.

This model required 4 kits. 1 metal and 3 Plastic. But I will use the other parts to make the three for myself and my own replica.

Speaking of wheels.
Some white Advan RG or Gold Enkei TCII would also look cool

Take some pictures at this angle.....

(http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c349/rextreme/MAO/REXTREME_MAO_Knight.jpg)

I can then chop any wheels on there easily.

Check this photobucket folder.

*******!

The keys racing wheel!   Arrgh!! what a pain. You are not getting keys on your gear knob!

Coming along very slowly. I still need to sand it all back again and give it a final white coat, put the stickers on, paint the lights, clear coat and polish

Maybe two weeks... haha. You know how paint shops are... hehe.

hehehe. looking sooo sweet!  But hey, I have heard of people painting with a single hair from a tiger! Just get one of those, and it should be a walk in the park! :D:D:D:D

You are a legend russ!
Title: Some new pictures of my car.
Post by: rextreme on August 22, 2007, 07:33:12 AM
I\'ll just go out to my pet tiger and pull a couple of hairs then....

Before I send it, I\'ll put different wheels on so you can choose.

It will definately be cool when it\'s done. Maybe I\'ll jsut keep it? ? ?

Russ.
