READERS RIDE>>MORE FC MADNESS

Filed under: Drift, FC3S, Mazda, Mike Garrett, Readers Rides, RX7  

We've featured quite a few reader-owned FC RX7's this month haven't we? Here's one more, owned by George who represents the great state of Arizona. Somehow when I see this car, I get the feeling that if Nakai-san of Rauh Welt had an FC, it'd look something like this. That's never a bad thing. -Mike Garrett...

PHOTO ROLL>> HAMPTON DOWNS DRIFTDAY

Filed under: 180SX, C's Garage, Drifting, fc, hampton, JZX100, Photo Roll, RX7, s13  

A few days back I was browsing through the auto blogs I visit daily and found a link to the Mattfresh Blog from New Zealand. It became an instant favorite and has given me many new wallpapers to stare at. Recently Matt went to a drift event at the Hampton Downs circuit. Some familiar faces showed up and Matt covered the event in his own cool way. The opening shot contains so much win. Broken aero parts, worn tires, numerous sets of wheels and a cool AE85 in the background that's been dropped...

PHOTO ROLL>> BATTLE EVOME 4

Filed under: 5, arios, battle evome, BE-Circuit, Event, Evo, Jeroen Willemsen, okuyama, RX7, varis  

I have been following the Battle Evome series for a long time, so it was cool to see that our own Speedhunter in Japan, Dino, was able to catch a glimpse of the series with his latest feature. The cars keep getting better and better so I want to share the three fastest vehicles that raced last Sunday here. I think most of you are familiar with these cars.... First up, the Arios Okuyama RX-7. They came in at 1'00.035 making them the third fastest of the day. Not at all bad when you consider that...

READERS RIDES>>GETTING COLORADO EXCITED

Filed under: Colorado, Drift, FC3S, Mazda, Mike Garrett, Readers Rides, RX7  

Slava hails from the great state of Colorado and comes to us with a simple request - to help him fire up Colorado's drifting community. In his words - "So the drift scene here in Colorado is starting to die off. Me and a few others are trying to keep people excited about this s___ again so we can all have more than two events a year. A lot of people are quiting for whatever reason and less drivers just means that we cant hold as many events because of lack of moneys. Posting some of CO's hard hitters might help get people excited about drifting in Colorado again just from seeing us on Speedhunters" ...

RANDOM SNAP>> WIDEBODY FC

Filed under: fc, Jeroen Willemsen, Mazda, Random Snap, RX7, widebody  

Just spotted this FC on Al's Car Stuff blog . It rolls on a set of Work Equips with a very large dish in the rear, just enough to fill those arches. Love the understated look of this particular model. Maybe Carl can get some inspiration from this car, although it hasn't been made as a Time Attack car.

CAR LIFE>> FC RACE BUILD PART 1.9

Filed under: Carl Jarrett, FC3S, Mazda, race build, RX7, Time Attack  

1.9? Why 1.9? Well I haven't got as much done as I'd like to have, but am still making progress, and am making progress in the planning stages as well. I've been busy prepping the car for a LOT of work in the coming months. Its pretty boring stuff at this stage, so don't say I didn't warn you. I spent almost 2 days crouched inside this beast removing that damn sound deadening. I used chunks of dry ice for the first pass (looked like an old high-school dance in my shop with the...

RANDOM SNAP>> REVOLUTION ALL CARBON FD

Filed under: FD, Jeroen Willemsen, Random Snap, revo, revolution, re-wars, RX7, Time Attack, Tsukuba, tune  

Should I even add words? This amazing all carbon Revolution FD has been seen doing some laps at the recent RE-Wars round 4 at Tsukuba. I can't wait for Dino's coverage of the Super Lap Battle at the same circuit. Will this FD take the crown or will some of the other contenders like the Mspeed R34 (my favorite) be faster? -Jeroen Willemsen

CAR LIFE>> FC RACE BUILD CONCEPT ART

Filed under: car build, Carl Jarrett, FC3S, Mazda, Race, RX7, Time Attack  

Its been too long since I posted that teaser, but check it out! I'm pretty stoked to be able to see a glimpse of what my project will look like when its done (next year). Here's where the nerd in me comes out, I mocked up this shot of the car in a windtunnel, not that it'll ever see one I'm sure, but a cool image regardless. There is a good chance I'll be doing some CFD tests with this car though, testing out various diffuser, canard, and wing set-ups. For the sake of these concept...

NEED FOR SPEED SHIFT>> A HONDA AND A MAZDA IN TOKYO

Filed under: FD3S, Need for Speed, need for Speed SHIFT, RX7, S200  

I hope I'm not boring you with these Need for Speed SHIFT stories. Just a few more and regular broadcasting will be resumed ;>.... I'm very excited by the finished game and as I was personally involved in some creative design aspects of the project in its initial stages, I'm enjoying the opportunity to share and discuss the project with you lot. Here's an FD that I just built for myself. This is just one of several body-kit packages that you can purchase on its way to being transformed...
