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.

Sleeper? Yeah, right! Lovin' the '7'!

So, this Black 2nd generation RX-7 is considered by some to be a sleeper, because of its simple appearance, lack of vinyl graphics and sponsorships. But, this daily drivable car runs in the 58 second range at Tsukuba, which is amazing! The brand new GT-R runs about 1:03 seconds or so. They sure know how to 'get r dun' in Jap town!

Here are a couple of 3rd gen RX7's. Why did they stop making this car??? It is easily in my top 5 favorite cars! Enjoy!

1996 Mazda RX-7 Turbo

Here's my next tuner car for the plastic tuner shop "Hechtspeed". :) This is a '96 RX-7 Turbo ready for the touge (winding mountain road). It didn't turn out as "cool" as the Skyline, but I really like the silver on white wheels look.
