1989 Mazda RX7 FC3S

oh, i forgot to post this here, on the MCM(model car mag) forum, i have enterd a JDM build off. and i forgot to post it here, lol. well here it goes.....

my entry: Aoshima Mazda Rx-7 FC3S 1989 late model
style: touge/sleeper/stock

here is my idea sort of.......


and here is my FC so far

ok, im just with minor stuff right now, like mounting the spoiler as far back as possible


the tilt hood/gap thats at the windshield side:


and still debating between lights up:



lights down:



or the sleepy eyes:



so far thats it, been working on interior, gotta strip it again, ugh. and oh, i got the side trim molding glued on. more pics coming hopefully!

ok, not much done, but i did make a either its a oil cooler OR a intercooler, haven't choosen yet.

WITHOUT cooler:


WITH COOLER:


(Sorry for the goofing off with the black sharpie, i got bored one day............., BUT the 2 fog lights are going to be removed to make air brake cooling ducts!)

and the almost finished tail lights: (i DIDN'T bmf chrome the back of the turn signals cause i wanted them more "hidden"......., i still gotta do the black trim around the tail lights)

well its time for an update!!!!!! so here we go:

here is my finished suspenion, the front suspension is already glued together and finished, it just needs to be installed




here im just test fitting the rear suspension





here is the interior



my retarded-arse-messed up-2-tone-seats:


(gotta fix them)

and here is a test fit of the interior bucket

the chassis


and here im test fitting the suspension units on the chassis:


and oh, here is my "cooler"


ok, here is the finished detailed suspension and driveaxle brace, and yes its glued in

ok, after finishing up the suspension and ect. i ran into a problem: (please note the sidetrim, it still stock, non-modded)






and then i did some body work: i opened the foglight openings for cooling ducts: (please note the stock headlights and how tall the lights are!




i sanded the sidetrim smooth, for a clean body line(hopefully)



here is my first time doing this mod, the sleepy eyed look! i am using metal tubing to make the projector type lights

here is more test shots of the sleepy eyed look







and oh, i broke the top corner edge of the hood, but its fixed now(its very hard to see the line):


i applied the gauge decal and sparco racing 5-point seatbelt harness decals:



thats all for now. hope you enjoy, let me know whatcha think

looking good man
keep it up

ok, an update, even though these pics are little old now, but here you go......

body work is done


the dash, door cards are glued in



the seats are glued in, and yes the seats are offset, i did that on purpose.





and last, i painted the body, but it messed up.......




thats all, i haven't touched the rx7 since then..... i guess i need to get back on it.......lol
