Rachaels stunning FD RX7/8

[Rachael]

Hi Rach,

Very nice car you have !
I did see it last weekend in the Netherlands.
Fantastic detailed !

one suggestion... Mazdaspeed front bumper. Then it is complete I think.

Hi

Thank you, yes we were in Holland at the weekend. Was invited to the Autotron Full Speed show.

Yes I will definately change the front at a later date, but for now I need to catch up with my credit cards!!

I will put up some pics of the show soon.

Rach

rotorstock? i would like to say yes but we will have to see.

Is that twin exhaust system a custom jobbie or can you buy them like that? Been looking for something like that for ages! I like symetry (spelling?) !!!  :Hammer

I saw this motor at Japfest, tis a beaut.

Sadly by the time I got round to the MRC stand most folk had gone, I was in the last track session of the day so couldn\'t wonder too far from the Honda Revs stand.

Hope you all enjoyed it

Hi

Yeah its a custom jobbie by my other half. Completely agree, its all about symmetry!

If you are interested in a twin exhaust pm me.

Thanks

Saw this beastie at the Redline rumble last sunday, really took me by surprise!! I saw it from the back (after having a look at the RE Amemiya kitted FD and a lovely black pre-facelift one) and immediately fell for the twin exhaust set up, never seen it before and it looks fantastic. Symmetry is very important especially when you consider how the rest of the FD has been built with perfect aesthetics in mind. I also really liked the rear lights, subtle but effective.

Really liked the rear bumper/diffuser too. I was expecting a C-West front end (don\'t know why really, just imagined it!) so i was shocked to say the least when i found myself looking at an SE3P front!!! A few seconds of confusion followed, until the penny dropped and i realised that yes, someone actually had the time, money and guts to transplant an RX-8 front onto an RX-7!!

The craftsmanship looked superb, and i actually liked the colour scheme, suits the slightly ostentatious nature of the car well.

Being honest i have to admit i do prefer the FD front to that of the RX-8, but it\'s all subjective i guess! Be dull if everyone had the same likes and dislikes. The only thing i felt was that the FD is a smooth and svelte shaped car, whereas the RX-8, especially at the front, was a bit bulbous and pumped up. I reckon if you could perhaps increase the rear arches in proportion to the front it would create a much more cohesive shape.

Regardless, it\'s a great achievement and a completely unique car. Definitely something to be very proud of. Congratulations. :wiggle
