I... I actually like the vent in the hood! Not so much the exhaust, but that vent rules! I love those wheels on there, too. Awesome. Clean build, cool mods that are skating right at the edge of being over the top. Very cool build. Thanks for sharing!

Quite an awesome build! I'm really digging the hood- it's very unique and nicely made! Overall superior execution!

Re: Custom FD3S - Tamiya mazda rx7 r1

I absolutely love this thing! You did an amazing job!! Thought the one thing that has always bugged me a bit is the same thing willimo mentioned.... the exhaust. I could see those mufflers getting pretty banged up being that close to the ground. Other than that I love everything you did, the headlights, the body kit, the diffuser, the spoiler, the wheels, and definitley the hood!! Paint looks great... the whole thing looks great!!

Re: Custom FD3S - Tamiya mazda rx7 r1

So glad to finally see this in the completed section. Simply awesome body modifications. My eye seems to want a slightly bigger spoiler for it though... Not sure how I feel about the exhausts yet but definately a well finished model. Nice one

Re: Custom FD3S - Tamiya mazda rx7 r1

THanks 4 the comments guys. As 4 the exhaust, I myself don't like it. Initially i plan to put the exhaust between the diffuser and the bumper but just like to try something different and by the end too late/lazy to rollback to original plan.

By the way, here the interior and engine compartment.

Engine compartment : try to weather it but i think i over do it!




Interior : Rollcage, shiflight, aluminum floor, bucket seat and scratch built seatbelt with 4 points harness.

I think the engine compartment looks great! Doesn't look overdone at all. Interior look really good too. Once again... excelent work!!
