haven't posted in quite a while, but here's what's up. Tamiya FC RX-7.

Details:
-Plugs and leads connect with green Mazdaspeed style coils with rubber over each plug.
-Hose connected to wastegate actuator on turbo.
-Washed engine
-aluminum tips to replicate Mazdaspeed sports sound muffler.
-Will be putting in Mazdaspeed strut bar and rear brace bar.
-Brake lines will be added
-Flocked interior
-Added seat belts
-Drift seats (will post pics of what I wanted but couldn't get)
This was going to be a GP sports style FC because that's what my actual car is (pics below) but I do not have enough experience in model building so I decided to just put some rims and simple mods. But anywho, lets get on with the photos

Photod of my car:

Cool build. I especially like the enginebay as well. I have this model too, but I doubt that I can build it as nice as yours...
