Herblenny is a well known person on the American RX7club forum.

Very nice mate, agree the tyres look too skinny !!!

Always thought your car is a nice example, 99 spec with scoot style bonnet.

I don\'t know about me being well know on the RX7club... I just been on there for awhile..

Here are couple of more pics..






Thank you all for the compliments! My MB FD is a replica of my BLK 99 spec\'d FD (blew my engine over 2 years ago)..  Here are couple of pics from the past.. I miss this car...

Just got it painted and with the border fenders..


The Engine bay....

can tell its a UK car by the lack of dirt on any single spec of the car.......oh if only for dry weather and good roads!!!

That black car is a beauty, you definetely have the right idea on looks, nice stock headlights too - the best way imho.

[G@NDY]

That is stunning mate. Really like the border fenders goes superb with that bonnet:Thumbsup!

[gmogle]

That black one is what I am aiming for (without the fenders) and with different wheels (ce28s).

Looked awesome !!!

Did you have any clearance problems with the SMIC and the Scoot bonnet ?

Yes, The Scoot hood on the Blk FD was the Original replica hood (with the active center channel). That hood will not work with any aftermarket SMIC.

The MB has the VIS racing CF replica scoot hood. That will clear any SMIC (even modified V8 engine).

Initially I loved the border fenders.. but more I looked at the car, it was bit too much. I ended up getting rid of it and put the OEM fenders back on.

But since I had 2 x 99 spec\'d FDs, I\'ve decided to go little crazier..

Little hint about my new future set up..



And this is my alltime favorite pic of my car

Thank you.. I bought the FDs because of its pop ups... I hate the sleek lights... except for one of RE\'s design.

By the way, the wheels are SSR Comp (type c) 18s.. I\'m shame to tell you how skinny they are.. Trust me, I put these on just for the look.. Its useless otherwise. The nice and thick SSRs will be on the BLK FD when its ready (18x10.5s all 4 corners).

Nice pic!

Your garage is a true aladins cave and your car is beautiful :Thumbsup!

Its funny they look fine on the black car, but they look so big on the blue car I was thinking they were 19\'s or 20\'s even! I guess it must be the tyres, they are nice wheels and seeing as I have 18" BBS LM2\'s I cant really talk...



As you can see I have the C-West sleek headlights, they were on the car when I bought it and seeing as they suit the car fairly well and cost a fortune for original C-west sets I thought I would leave them on. Only problem is they are so damn rubbish at night time especially on roads with no road lighting, you need bloody sonar so know where you are going! I love the pop ups, one day I will go back to them I promise! The silly rear wing that was on the car is no longer a feature too, I now go spoiler less, with the RE-A diffuser it looks cool.

I have to say I really like the look of your cars, both very pretty and tastefully modded so they dont look like someones just slapped a load of bits on and I think the mods are in keeping with the original style of the car.

I also love the way you septics get away with no front number plates... ...I havent been to the US in a few years, how I miss those fantastic long empty wide roads that I drove on from Minneapolis to Canada they were a joy.

[olly-civic]

[probedb]
