so the parts have been piling, and the pocket has been getting emptier and emptier hahahaha.
besides doing loads of maintenance work on the car,
ive got all sorts of new things piled to put on:
-feed front bumper (temporarily stuck on for test fit)
-feed cf hood (need to adjust still)
-feed fogs/signals (still need to wire, and covers arent on yet)
-feed/ganador side mirrors
-feed cf sidesteps
-hks rs intake
-polished alternator covers
-ceramic coated upper/lower intake manifolds and turbo piping (got those on now)
-apex-i / apexera power fc & commander
-RE amemiya d-cut steering wheel
-flushhousing hid projector headlights
-rx8 shiftknob
-greddy elbow
-air pump eliminator pulleys
-hks downpipe
-flushmount spoiler
-sparco steering wheel hub
-and im sure im forgetting some stuff
so here's how it started out:
and i've got the new front and hood on...
my friend ken still needs to make me my front and rear fenders...here's the parts test fitted on his car:
and because....i reallllly reallllly suck at the camera thing, looky how nice the hood is from his pic
mi gusta mas!
and uhm...here's a pic to keep it on topic with preludes...

ellerton: yeah, aren't the time attack Ce28s awesome??
too bad he sold them hahahahah. the rims didn't bow enough for him, and they only offered certain offsets for those, ao he's switching off to diamond blacks now i believe.
what do you think repaint for the fd should be?
i've been leaning towards a dark maroon...sort of similar to the interlagos fire 350z....or a very dark blue to go with some magnesium blue volks. i'll have to find time to check out the choices for house of kolors paint sometime in spring i suppose.
looking good, one thing though... i dont understand the whole part about new front and rear fenders?
my friend ken owns ShineAutoProjects, a place out here in Cali that does a lot of quality parts replicating, which include handlaid fiberglass/cf, and infused fiberglass/cf. So far, comparing to a lot of original REAmemiya, Feed, and misc original pieces, his have come out a lot lighter, stronger, and smoother, with better fitment
on his car, you can see the Feed front and rear fenders on it. I'm switching to those as well. The front will be +25mm wider on each side, and the rear will be +20mm wider
I also like bright red. I don't know what it was called, and they unhosted the pictures, but I posted a bright red RX7 in OT like a year ago from honda tech that was pure sex.
i'll keep things posted on progress. things are moving slow if only because im hopping around between maintenance/exterior/interior/motor/and suspension stuff...so the progress looks slow all around, but as a whole, its progressing pretty fast as far as my bank account says :CRY:

Pictures on a kinda grassy field? +1!
Your thread made me go rx7 pic hunting Would you be able to tell me who makes this bumper/fender?? (so that i can add it to my "to do if i won the lotto" list?)
