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 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 - Sanai's Garage 31 & TiR

This is what a 5Million Yen FD3s looks like. Perfection!

The street version or track version of the Reiden 7 are basically the same. All customisable by conversations
with Garage 31. This company builds and sells complete cars from Sanai Works.

I was soooooo impressed by the finish and quality. These cars are NEW!!!!!

2010 FD3s!

Small vent is just part of the full Sanai Works body kit. The vent allows a tiny bit of air to enter close to greddy airinx Filter.

This car features a single turbo NEW engine thats finished to perfection with NEW componets.

Some nice features are the water air separator tank, but basically it looks like everything was meant to be there from the factory.

Ever seen white prodrive GC06 rims this clean. Yes, when they are NEW! Check the calipers! NEW!

Inside, the first thing you notice is the FULL "Bride" retrim (pronounced Bu-ree-doh in Japanese) retrim. Adds a nice shape to the doors.

Delve a little further, and the deeply blostered drivers seat is just one of the countless highlights on the interior. Blue stitching is everywhere and notice the fan knobs. Rapfix GT-C boss for exit past that seat.

These craft square mirrors are sitting in the A-pillar. they look like the older design.... right

Wrong... they are now much smooother in plan view. the carbon parts on the car are painted in blue tinter. Awesome.

Notice the blue tinted Carbon Vatman wing, Sanai diffuser and under skirts among others.

The second Garage 31 car was the race focussed car. (you can just see the cage in this pic) Just as pretty, it would be a shame actually to chip the paint.

Try and get myself out of the reflection... no way.

This one was running the older Craft square mirrors on the OEM door locations. (A cheaper option.)

This car was running NEW Dunlop 03G tyres and Forged Dunlop Direzza Wheels .... NEW

These cars are for sale! around 5~6Million Yen.

Ti-Racing also use Sanai racing gear, this customer car is not quite standard.

Their Demo car is another perfected track machine. Rays CE28N complement it well.

This car runs fast! Lap after lap! While others over heat, take slow laps and try for something unfocussed. The TiRacing car keeps on going.

If you are looking for reliable tuning. You can't really go past what these guys offer. Pretty and Potent!
