Tamiya RX-7 R1

Those who have built this model know that the engine bay is not exactly the most detailed ie. the turbos being 4 circles. So, I am going to be building this to try and replicate the 13BREW as best as I can. To start, I had taken out the original turbos and worked them to look like actual sequential twin turbos with plumbing. The alternator is really crappy so I swapped a new one from the older savanna RX-7 model. I will next try to detail the so called intercooler which is connected to the air box, battery etc. Enjoy!

Awesome! I cant wait to see the finnished product.

wow! I ike the engine. and why did i take my rx-7 with out engine?

I would have liked to have seen some pics of the motor out of the car. If the turbo work is as good as the rest appears to be, it's great. Sourcing the alternator from elsewhere is a great touch, weird how they look amazing in some of their kits and fall totally short in others. Great work so far.

This is all I've got as far as turbo pics, as well as updates to where I'm at. Next will be the interior:) thanks and enjoy!
