Started another RX7(GReddy)

Hey gang, been a while since I've done much worth posting. The couple of projects (which have stalled at presant) I've been working on have been put on the backburner for the time being.
Soooo...............I got the "tuner" bug back again. :evillol:
I've had these two kits sitting around ever since I saw Subway's
Amazing conversion of this kit.
Started by grafting the side panels onto the Tamiya R1,fitted the vents from fujimi kit into the R1 bonnet as well.I've opened the rear hatch, to view the fully plumbed fuel system when installed.I'll be doing some mods to the motor as well, though no 3-rotor this time. :)
Wheels/tyres are Aoshima 19" Amistad V.
Hope you enjoy,pay no attension to messy putty on sides :screwy:
cheers stump :aus:

sweet conversion there dude, how straightforward did the parts fit? i think this is gonna be a project to watch! :smokin:

That will be a great car !!! I will follow this thread. :evillol: :smokin:

Talk about cool projects!!! I'm gonna be watching for this one to be completed!! :sunglasse

Thanks guys.... I wont let this one stall.....
chrismcgee....the side panels fitted pretty good. I did them the way
Chris (SAS) described some time back.Cut off original bodywork of the
R1 (Tamiya) around the door line.That way the panels don't look too thick and out of scale. I was a bit untidy with the cut, hence the excess putty :rolleyes:
I've slightly modified the opening in the front bar,just need to smooth/finish that and I will fit it. Looks like it will go on without too
many dramas, hope to have a pic soon.
cheers stump :aus:

Full marks for this one coming up !!

Great work.Can't wait to see more progress.

Looks excellent. Eager to see the fuel management set up.

looks awesome.. very like the RE SuperG7 .
where u find the 20B engine from? those Mazda Cosmo model? and what color u going to paint it dude? can't wait :D

Very cool project :smokin: - looking forward to seeing more of this one

look mean

Hey guys,thanks for all the positive feedback :smile:
gunluvS14,the 3-rotor I mentioned,was cut down from a 4-rotor out of
an early Tamiya LM car.I slipped it into a C-West RX7.
Search for stump and you should find. :smile:
*EDIT*
gunluvS14,realized there's no motor pic in thread.Here's one

Okay,have got the front fitted,still needs tidying up,I sliced through the
original just level with top of front indicators,made a cut matching on the Greedy front,glued and puttied.Done. :smile: Had to trim original front
lip off chassis to allow body to fit over properly.
Have also trimmed inner guard(only one side so far)to allow for the 19's,
once lowered,to still be able to steer.Those of you who have lowered a
RX7 will know the tyres rub otherwise and dont steer too well. :smokin:
Also got the trunk/boot area a bit smoother,for the bare painted look,no
carpet in the back of this baby. :evillol:

Oh,Ryan,the fuel system has been in another RX7,which has been
robbed of many parts :naughty: It's pretty basic but I think it looks
quite effective,will have pics soon

very sweet... agressive stance too

I like you model, I HATE your wheels.

I really suggest you get different 5 spokes.

But if it really suits you that's okay.

Please notify me if I misread something or missed readin some words.
