7's Day - Tsukuba - The others

Wingless Sexy Style and Enkei NT-03M. Slidey...

Wheel size is 18 which looks awesome on track focussed FD.

Gram Lights Aero package is a love hate for many.

First Moulding Hood has enough vents.

AS-Auto Demo car... HID ablaze.

Black out treatment.

Note the integrated RE-A undersweep with Mazdaspeed front. Sometimes when you go off track and break a bumper, this kind of trasformation is a result.

Black Ragamaster Evo wheels, Melded Feed Fenders, Mazdaspeed skirts and rear apron, Scoot bonnet and RE-A GT wing...

Does it work?

Axia "Kenstyle" bumper is a vent lovers heaven. Top hole for FMIC. run the lower to the radiator?

Sanai bumper C-west lights, Feed rear wing, Silkroad canards and more evo wheels. Still a TA favourite.

Solid.

BB Garage rear wing on this one, thats all from Tsukuba.... maybe....
Next... go to Daikoku and Umi Hoteru...

7's Day - Tsukuba - FC Attack

Super now FC is one of the fastest in Japan.

The budget rocket is not pretty, Big fat rear wing, and huge splitter make it capable of 57s laps in the right conditions.

Supernow FC in action... Listen to the TURBINE!!!! I love it when the turbo is louder than the exhaust.

It's pretty effective in slicing the Tsukuba TC2000 into it's sectors with precision. You could probably say it's even inspired a few more builds.

This beautifully built bare big black beast beset blue bride buckets boasting best brand bargains.

Both wear RE-Amemiya FC2000 front bar. This one has the reverse vented bonnet scoop, craft square mirrors and direzza forged wheels. I also like the subtle front M-sports style splitter.

7's Day - Tsukuba - Drift

D1 & D1SL drivers were putting on a show at Tsukuba.
Mazda Tuning Festa Report. D1 DRIFT

The Drift Samurai!

Now with two big rear swords. Don't stand close, you'll be sliced to pieces.

All good. 100 points!!!

Ehhhh... not so good.

Sometimes your car stays like this.

Sometimes it doesn't

Unfortunatly, the moccomans FD ended up in the wall after I left. Ouch

Still a very sexy car.

7's Day - Tsukuba Magic

R-Magic and Takayama's Pink6 was on double duty also.

The team trying to tame the gripless FD for some time attack and hot version racing.

They struggled with oversteer,

And understeer... before getting a reasonable setting.

The other side of this car has fluro yellow wheels.

Drift post to come.

They also had the 1:06s cheap performance RX8. These are becomming popular in Japan for rebuilds after they hit 100000klms and then extremely ported for reasonable performance.

7's Day - Tsukuba Revolution

This post will focus on the RX7's from Revolution Motoring Communications "Revo-Tune"

They were a very busy tuner on 7's day with 4 cars including this RX8 and I already featured the other RX8 3 rotor Here->. http://rextreme.blogspot.com/2010/07/7s-day-revolution-rx8.html

During the morning they didn't have any love for the TA-2 as it sat waiting. nWet track is useless. Note the small extentions on the front splitter. This indicates it hasn't been forgotten. It did run later in the day around the 58second mark, however I had left by then. Official Video here.

The TA-1 is street registered! Ride height is usable due to the massive profile rubber on the 18" rims. S-tyres have a lot more profile than normal 265/35/18. They asolutely fill the guards.

That doesn't mean you'd want to drive it to the shops. The Hewland sequential dog box would make that not so much fun. The car also has a race style fuel filler. Gas stations may be an issue too.

With a full complement of RE-A bodywork, the car is beautiful. The Scoot bonnet is a favourite though.
I'm surprised this car made it on track. There was sooo much emphasis on the RX8 (crowded behind)

But it got there. These days Revolution know what they are doing. Their parts aint cheap but most are hand made in house to exacting specs. The price tag means revolution's gear though is in the higher spectrum and therefore doesn't make it to as many customers as it deserves.

The picture below shows tsukuba in a slow moment. Sometimes you can find a quiet spot to just look at things.

7's Day Tsukuba - Rotary Family

I don't know why, but the FAM Speed car photgraphs really well. Maybe it's my subliminal attention to green cars.

Even with my rubbish camera, I was able to capture the car very well.

RE-Amemiya N1 Facer 2005 model with carbon kevlar PRO canards. Feed Front Fenders only, Webber (FAM Speed) carbon bonnet, C-west N1 Type II side skirts, a vented rear bumper and RE-Amemiya Diffuser.

Even blurry it looks good. Maybe the flames get the attention here.

Braking deep into the first corner. The car door stickers and colour combo is good.

Flashing past the straight, I followed the car and it froze in motion. Canon IXY cameras have some of the fastest focussing I've seen on compact cameras, but here it's best to pre-focus than try your luck.

You'll usually end up with something like this. But flashing past and the speed is evident.

I like this pit shot. There was a ride-along for the public. Some lucky individual was in the car at this point.

A change from the Black Direzza wheels to White prodrive didn't hurt the car's appearance.

The side of the car shows FAM Speeds Logo "Enjoy Rotary World"

The car was run against other radial tyre cars for camparison.

You'll see this car in the next Hot version DVD, we shall watch the incar footage for this over-steer correction.

This guy was having fun. Very little tuning on this car saw him circulating way off the front runners, but still out there enjoying the FD.

Get out there and join the Family.

I hope to soon.... maybe
