70's Japanese Vintage Racing

So, found these killer pics on japanesenostalgiccar forum. Really lovin' the Celica's with fat rear wheel/tire combos. If I had a 70's Celica, I'd want it to look like that man!
Check that orange Mazda RX pulling the inside front wheel off the ground on corner exit. That's some serious traction and chassis stiffness (I guess right?...). I love me some vintage J-tin with fender flares and big meats.
They don't make cars like they used to. Chrome bumpers, metal, fender mirrors, 14x9 wheels, carbed dohc 4 cylinders screamin'. I was born 20 years too late. ;)

Perfect Roadster

So, check this pic of this Miata. Nuff said. Why can't I be 5'4" instead of 6'4". Oh that I were a short asian. ;) ha ha Maybe I could fit better with a race seat that sits low. It's mostly the height issue. My head hits the top. ;(

More Mazda, the 8 this time

So, the RX-8 is a cool car. 238 hp at 8,500 rpm with its Renesis rotary engine and 6 speed trans, rear wheel drive "4" doors, 50/50 weight balance and aggressive looks. You can find them used around $11k now. Check out these sweet examples.

RX-7 FC3S Plastic Model

Here's my latest plastic project. It didn't turn out awesome, but its a cool car still. I actually photoshopped these with Christy's help. It's fun. Doing plastic car photoshoot's will help me with angles and photohop.

Green and white make SICK!

Man, this car has it all going on. Apparently its JTP's new finished street/drift car. The guy is a Formula D driver. The wheels according to Speedhunters are 17x10 and 18x10.5, 235 and 255 tires respectively. Wide fenders, huge GT Wing, tons of suspension mods for adjustability and ride height and all the supporting power mods. The candy green is perfect with those white TE37 volks. This car is amazing and is exactly how an RX-7 should be built. Noice!

RX7 FC3S inspiration for my new model kit

So, here's some nice examples of FC3S chassis RX-7's, sold from like 88-92 or so. I bought a 1/24 model and began working on it last night. These were some cool examples to get ideas.

Rotary X 7

So, lately, one of the cars that I'm liking a lot is the Mazda RX-7. Here's a bunch of pics of the FD3S chassis (sold in US 93-95, Japan 93-02 or so). Thanks once again Speedhunters for the sweet feature cars.
The RX-7 is a do it all car, time attack, drift, drag, show, street aggressive, it does it all.
