Completed GReddy RX-7! 56K beware (12 Pics)
I finally finished my Greddy RX-7! This was by far the worst kit I have ever built, the fit was terrible and I had to sand grind to get everything to fit. See the Progress here The hole for the intercooler was closed and I had to open it up so that my home made intercooler would fit. The winglets on the side of the front bumber were way too thick so I fabricated a pair from styrene. As can be expected from Fujimi the ride height was far too high, so I lowered until it looked like the car in the magazine. I also switched out the stock "pram/stroller" rims for some 18 inch AW-7's. I added a boost gauge, BMF behind the rear light cluster and front lights, and BMF was also used on the mirrors. I decided to make myself a bigger exhaust pipe using Shrink Wrap tubing, this way I could get it to taper towards the muffler.

All in all its a terrible kit, but if you have the time you can make it look very nice!

























BTW, This is my entry for the Teen Contest

Nice job! You're right it is a terrible kit, now you know why Subway took the approach he did. What green did you use?
