FD3S Project

Yes yes I know I know, the Ertl FnF RX-7 is played out, blah blah blah, But I love FD's and I'm gonna do another one lol.

I plan to go as much RE as I can, Widebody, turbo, Carbon Fibre rear diffuser, so on so on.

Here's what I got so far. (For those who heard about my Bolt on parts, heres a few. )

Here's the motor with custom b/o turbo kit.


Here's my intercooler that I pretty much made.


Here's a better shot, you can see the intricity and even the BoV.


This one shows the downpipe and the custom radiator that's still not done.


Here's my custom b/o exhaust.


And here's a shot of the muffler.

Re: FD3S Project

Well, I can probly get a photo of the CRX but it's been stripped and primed, I'm redoing it lol, I'll open another thread on it at another time.
As for Color, I was thinking Blue maybe.

Re: FD3S Project

Well seeing as I'm on the FD topic, does anyone else have one of these?
Because I want someone to make one the same time I'm making mine, great for motivation.
