Kingyo's Secret Affair

This is somnething I'd love to do. Just totally over the top, but it's driving me crazy I can't sleep!

The ultimate mix of RWB and RE-Amemiya. two things I love. Kingyo's Affair.

Only need 3~4K to build it? Any sponsors out there?

Unfortunately, the wheels I want to run (used in this photoshop) are 18x12 +6 rear and 18x10 +6 front.

This FRP body is designed for 18x9.5+22 so there's an extra 30mm that needs to be found. It aint happening. hahaha

Mister Monster

The 3000 dollar option is this. 18" Miester S1 with stretch + cheap over-fenders. Kind of the plan I had originially.  I absolutely love this look on the car. Looks so tough. Who knows? Dreaming is great.

Adjustable splitter

Here's something thats been in my mind, feel free to comment.

I want to run the car low, but that means avoiding my driveway with any kind of splitter.

Ive been thinking of ways to have an extendable section or simply one that slides in when I need it for circuit days.. Held in by pins or bolts.

The one that slides in is easy. Just affix some bars along the underside and slide the front section into some tubes. These are running strainght along the body, so it wouldn't detract from the effect much? would it?

This car has an outer edge only, the centre could be added for track days.

I actually want it a bit lower like this picture.

R- Magic make one also but it's crazy expensive and probably wouldn't match the body of my car.

What to do?

CHOP CHOP

For the Scoot Bumper. I need a splitter. Balance is key. Money Money Money....Next Month

Scrubber

A scrubber is a derogatory term for an unattractive lady, but I'm using it more as defining cars that scrub the ground.

This car is providing a lot of inspiration for me at the moment.

2011 New Wheel Releases - Pt 1

I was WAITING for Advan TC III since I saw them in Option mag, However I was a bit dissapointed. The Matt Black version was not displayed.

I think the silver version looks better than this gun/ machined version.

But still looks cool. Maybe I should darken the graphics?

Gram Lights 57 Ultimate DC chrome colour finshes are awesome!

Again these darker wheels (except black) don't seem to match the bright red. 

But this looks good.

This Advan RS-D prototype release in RED.

 Check RE-Xtreme Extra for more wheels from TAS and the full size versions.

Inspirations

Ok, So I racked my brain trying to remember all the scoot bumper cars I have seen. I suddenly remembered a similar setup to what I am after while looking at attendees of the upcomming HKS premuim day.

(i really really want to go to this event as 6 top RX7s are running Fuji. but alas working)

Anyway, PRO SHOP FUKUOH to the rescue. Their car has recently recently recieved a new engine but more importantly, look at the splitter. Thier Bumper is based on the scoot one, almost exactly what I am trying to replicate.

It seems I am not the only one after a deeper splitter. Maybe a few questions fired at them on the 31st Jan. (from friends)

I'd like my air dam flat, but this one has a bit of angle. The car is not too low either.

While looking through some old photos, I found some red wheels. too. They look pretty damn good.

Craft Square Mirrors... how long can I resist??

SAB Reflections

OK, so my first highway drive out to SAB in chiba. I can't believe I've had the car for over a month and I've hardly done 100klms. Well actually I can believe it. Many small issues and other shit going on.

I would like a circuit or mountain attack to test my fun factor, highway drive is about as boring for me as watching paint dry. But the car seems to behave itself in it's high state of tune on the trip.

The suspension is pretty hard, and any serious japanese highway corrigation isn't absorbed so well but that is to be expected, general handling however is very good. the few corners on the way provided surefooted direction change.

See if I can find some time before or after my Tsukuba trip. Parked next to this R-Magic demo car. the stance is way too high. I need it about 20~25mm down to be happy.

SEMA Mazda Designs

SEMA highlighted some new design influence for the motorsports focussed Mazdaspeed.

This is the one applied to the Mazda 2 only in White. RP-01 Enkei style. This will be VERY cheap to do.

I have everything here at home for this.

I drew from the tripoint Mazda 6 and the Mazdaspeed Mazda 6 for these two. The RENOWN influence is heavily integrated in the bold stripes not unlike the last design I did.

This last design is from an older RE-Amemiya RX3 savanna

Play time

What do you think?

Massive 19" VR-G2 in custom hyper bronze.

Scoot Custom Carbon Air dam. <- Now something like this I am actually thinking of.

Note angry birds pig emblem.

Sketchy

I'm always sketching something.

Latest designs are for the rear. The BN sports rear is not the best, but with a little work it could be very cool.

This one has a GT wing with old school RE-Amemiya towers and end plates. Fender mirrors or Craft Square?

The one below leaves the basic shape of the BN Sports rear with similar venting however omits the diffuser and goes for a nice RE-Xtreme FD3s ducktail spoiler. Low and Flat.

Cant get you out of my head!

Ever since I saw this pic I was dreaming again.

Bring it on!

Return to it later

If you get confused, take a break.

Come back to it later for a fresh view.

Only problem is, sometimes the decision is still just as hard.

Combat 7:13 Inspiration @ 7's Day

I am really loving the Veilside Evolution Combat C3 kit. I met the owner at 7's day and had a good look at the fender kit.

The rear provides a boatload of space with the guards trimmed and welded underneath. The fronts can also house some fatness. Gun Advan RS 18x9 +20ish looks easy

The owner has keps the 20 spoke Veilside rims which he agreed were painful to clean and admitted he did a poor job of cleaning them. They did however have a huge dish in the rear (he couldn't remember offsets though)

He also had a fortune FD rear window in White that while it looked great from the rear, it didn't show the car's lines well in profile. This is not on my agenda.

Plenty of potential here.

Another Item I thought was close to spot on recently is the type 15th rear wing. I plan to run the car LOW, so this will keep it planted on the street. A little more subtle than the Kunny'z  JZX GT wing I had planned

But If you just play with wheel selection, fitment and Offset. This will look amazing. I am becomming very focussed in this direction. 19" CE28N are too damn expensive.

Weds GT300 TC105N looked great on the Moccomans fd. They also bring memories of the Leg Sport FD3s. This colour is discontinued, but custom order is OK.

This FC and the Greddy FD provided inspiration for Work Rims in +17ish Offset.

The Deep dish 17" XD9 almost create the RS-Watanabe Style.

Very cool for school.

I really can't wait to start.
