Engine bay has boost up engine with IC/brace bar changed from standard
As usual, the Hotworks models are almost indestructable (But I broke the wing swapping parts on this one.) They have heaps of spares (except D1 kits) and look great in any collection.
The third of Freddy's beasts is a pure track raider that started life as a 1995 Type R2. It was given a Border theme with the type II variation by the previous owner who bought the full border Type II body kit. Front bumper, front GT vented & wide arched fenders, side skirts, rear wing and side diffuser spats. This is currently being enhaced with a front under panel. The wheels are the famous Mazdaspeed MS02 that were manufactured by RAYS that are wrapped in Advan 235’s & 255’s tires.
The interior's main items are the Bride bucket seat and custom carbon fiber centre console that houses the switches for fuel controller and ignition start, fan controller, swirl pot switch and water injection. But you cant get past the bright red Border Racing 7 point Roll Cage.
The engine is a ported 13B REW that has a GT35 Single Turbo HKS with GT II wastegate hanging off the side. Custom twin large oil coolers and custom intercooler piping lead to a large Border Racing front mount intercooler blocking the aluminium radiator with electric fans. Exhaust gas is handled by a Border Racing “Burnout” system and there are so many other mods you would need a day to list them.Russ.
Chris Bird started with a 96 model Fd sourced from Newera and imported it into the UK. After the stock look began to get tired, he decided to Feed it a dose of Fujita. Pardon the pun. A touch of Amemiya, Knight Sports and C-West carry on the theme to create a modern evolution of the Fd shape. A truely stunning machine unspoiled by stickers and show-off attitude. The car would not be out of place beside the latest porsche 911.
Freddy is the owner of a few nice cars. All of which have loads of mods. Being privately imported from Japan, all three are unique exaples of FDs that started life as cars built by Japanese owners before being changed and tweaked by Freddy.
The first is this blue and silver RE-Amemiya equipped car that could be a demo car for that company's products of the Mid '90s. This FD has a few unique options that definately draw attention. The mirrors are from some spaceship and the rear diffuser ( although RE-Amemiya) has been painted in silver which also makes it a standout addition.
Sideskirts and rear fenders are nicely blended and the widebody front fenders go unnoticed in the deep blue paint. The sleek light kit also houses air vents similar to the GT300 cars and The GT wing brings the car into the modern era.
The next car in his awesome Pan Speed equipped road blaster. The T78 attached engine is capable of insane speed but this car is not for the track. Widebody additions include other items from the Pan Speed catalog. 2000 model front bar and side skirts also adorn the car.
The rear wing was originally a wangan spoiler, but this has been changed to a dual flap rear wing. The addition of a Scoot bonnet completes the package on this awesome machine. Down on the ground the Ragermaster rims attack the tarmac and sit nicely under the wide-body home of the FD.

You would be hard pressed to find a better example of an FD3s Rx-7 than Miguel's from Newera imports. This car reflects the design that mazda intended with relatively unspoiled lines free of FRP. There are just enough carbon touches to let you know something is up.
