was just seeing if i could cover the part effectively, as this is a tester for my abilities before i start my enzo.

plus it could be a carbon dress up cover for the manifold, now that isnt unbelievable is it.

Ive seen carbon fibre manifolds for V8s,small block Chev manifold made by Carbon Works.The only thing stopping a rotary intake being developed is would demand be high enough and how deep is your pocket?

good job on the car, the fiber looks great

Ok i have been working on the Rx7. Nearly finnished now. Yay i almost finished a model.

Engine is detailed now
New rims to be unveiled
Interior is now finnished
All "glass" work is now done

Exhaust still to be done.

Unveiling coming to an automotive forum soon !

Looking great. Is microsol neccesary, because I'm going to get the SAS sheets but I dont want to spend more than I have to (which Im sure I will end up doing).

BTW, has anyone thought of making a complete "carbon fiber" body? like the HKS Altezza. Now that would be cool, you would probably spend 80 bux on CF though.

Nice CF work, although I can't say im a fan of the CF rotor housing
rims look good, just needs maybe a bit of a lowering and the rims need some light paint.

Apart from that. damn!
makes me want to build my rx7 now

[chrismcgee]

unless your going to be putting tha sas decal onto a completely flat surface i would recomend investing in microsol. it was only £2.50 which is nothing considering it goes so far, one bottle will last years and years and makes the carbon look so much more real, bends it round edges and contours.

just taking some more photos now

[chrismcgee]

well here are a few more pics of the rx7 as promised. i think its looking ok. cant wait to get started on my enzo in a bit. might have to order some more sas carbon as im down to my last 3 sheets.

All i can say is if your at all intimidated by carbon fibre decals, dont be. if i can do it anyone can. its just a case of keep trying and you must use microsol. i think chris should sell that stuff alongside the decals personaly.

but do it order some today people

[chrismcgee]

ehaust still to be pit on.
needs a good polish
some more decals
wheels need lug nuts painting
and then its all done

[SpoonMan Dos]

I like the color and wheel combo. CF work looks good also, keep up the good job. Can't wait to see this finished.

[chrismcgee]

cheers dude, i have realy enjoyed this build. its a realy nice kit.
i would recomend this kit to anyone looking for a new kit.

the engine is easy to build and doesnt need too much effort to detail and the body is very nice to paint. all in i would rate this model a 7/10

[SchuberT]

aye, if its not too late, i'd like to see the wing, gas cap, and those little side vents in front of the doors with some cf decals on em

[blueboost]

love it. i am glad to see you painted the rims and the color suits the car perfectly.

a nice, clean, modified, tastefull and pretty 7. congrats.

[chrismcgee]

i think im just gonna leave the car how it is now. Dont want this one out shining my next fully custom bodyworked rx7 do i, lol. I want to keep this car semi street semi standard. just enough to excite.lol.

will try and finish the model tonight or tomorrow morning for ya all.

im realy starting to like rx7's a lot now.
so ya should be seeing a few more from me

[tonioseven]

Excellent work Chris!! Get us some outside pics!
