FD Pace Car

The FD3s Indy Pace Car. I haven't done a concept chop for a while, but I had 5 mins spare.

This one only has a Border Type 4 kit and GT wing. Volk Racing wheels with colour coded inlay.
Admittedly these are very poor chops. but there was a little inspiration for this, that all started in the summer of 1978.

FD JET

FD J37 (JET) was built by owner Ty with engine build, porting & dyno tuning by Rotary Motorsport in Australia. The result is a 500HP Street Weapon running 21psi.

"The Car was built to be a multi purpose street registered car, Meisters for the Street, Change rims to 17" 1 piece rims, adjust suspension and hit the track, change rims and adjust suspension for the drags. bit of everything."

I'll let the spec speak for itself.

Ty has himself one nice FD. With well thought out componentry and some tasty additions.

The car was built as an all rounder, circuit, drag and street. However, he finds the massive camber and low stance a bit too much. So some major, minor plans are to chage the wheels for some CE28N for more practicality and track action.

Back to School!

If you need an education in style, you can't go past the Kansai-rians. A little display at a college should help inspire the youth of today.... maybe?
A small group got together to support the local Toyota Kobe technical college.

Whether with Advan RS 19" & full street tune or...

Fujita colouring and Advan 18" RGII circuit spec,

These 500hp machines are awesome.

Fujita's Feed Afflux V is a love/hate design that has grown on me over the years, but I still find the area in front of the rear wheel noticably our of sync.

 CC... you just can't say no.

CC's with TC's... you can't say no. Yes Yes Yes.

This car has Advan RGII,

And Ken's car had Advan RS.. right?

But wait... Advan RS ??

And Ken's car has Advan RGII also sharing the love. Note the new front lip extensions

Double take ... which is better? from this angle I lioke white on white.

I'm not sure the Advan white is an exact match for the Mazda white,

So I vote for the Gun Metal Advan RS. Both are very cool.

All this Fujita Amemiya hotness, makes this spendor kit look a little lonely.

RE-Xtreme Theme

Created this theme for the iPhone4.

Download for IPhone4 size theme 960Hx640W for October and general.
Check this album in my online photo bucket.

I have created a few for Oct, Nov and Dec with a calendar background, so you can quickly check the day without having to go into the iphone calendar. I might keep doing this in the new year and add a desktop version also.

Rotary Factory 2010

 Rotary Factory 2010 is a new event in the US.

A chance for all to get together, chill and talk cars.

Dennis and Friends got the approval to do it at an old graffiti house. What an awesome venue for this.

The concept behind it was to get all the gen's together for one reason..... ROTARY!!!!!

All generations of fans and cars.

Fill the streets.

Some nice rides including this normal beast.

What's the fuss about!

Oh I see. Sleepy engine.

Older 7's Day Updates

Step back in time. This was my first FD3s back in 2003 just after being fitted with it's rays and SE-37W and not yet lowered.

Why am I posting this. Well, it was also the day I went to 7's Day in 2003 at the Fuji Speedway power tour and bought a AD GT widebody! 2002 was also mad and I found some old pics at home.

I'll be adding lots of posts in this section over the next few days/weeks. So look for the 7's day posts in the side bar around 7/7/ 2003 and 2003. You may find cool stuff.
