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

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.

Steerwinglesscone - frustration

 Now we shall start the story with the happy ending. Fortune D1 Spec 80mm deep cone steering wheel with blue stitch and a much better driving position.

Here is the frustration part. these two were sooooooo tight I bent the bemuck out of my allen key and then with help from a friend proceeded to strip them. Anyway. luckily I had the original boss and I could push the horn button aside to remove the rapfix short boss.

 So after a lot of cursing and angst, I now have a nice interior. 1 issue. The boss if for Nardi and these are momo setting so the centre point is 5 degrees off. But when I get the short boss back in action I'll be set.

So anyway, on my return home, I passed about 10 cop cars, all of which love looking at a foreigner in a loud sports car with the huge GT Wing.

I think 1480mm is legal on an FD but this is 1600mm so thats a bit risky, I decided to remove it around town and keep it for track excursions or dedicated mountain adventures.

I may pick up a stock wing, but there are sooo many holes in the hatch, I am not sure it would look good.
Maybe an old school RE-Amemiya swimming pool style wing maybe cool.

We shall see, but for now it looks pretty normal.

First Shoot.

Went for a short drive today to my favourite little photo shoot area. It is rather loud! Can't wait to hit some tunnels.

Even with stock rims, the car looks pretty nice. Stock body FD is all you need.

I love how white hides sooo much filth. Scoot aero parts really stares right at you. 
Up close it's not a pretty sight. But over time it will get some love.

Rear could use a diffuser but it won't get one unless I change the rear wing. I think the size of it should generate more than enough downforce for my antics on street tyres.

Interior will change soon, this is more of a point in time shoot. As of today I already have an 80mm deep cone D1 Spec steering wheel to go in place of the Momo prototipo.

Next week my RP-01 should be back from the hub machining shop. Chopped the stock rims up size for a comparo. These will be sold soon anyway. I was going to try and keep the 8.5 rears and buy two more for the track, but it aint worth it. Probably get some other old wheels from yahoo.

but I wonder what direction the car will take. You never know with me. A little vinyl tape here and there. It really doesn't take much to create maximum impact.

RP-01 18" Wheel Weights

I found someone selling wheels and they had weighed the Enkei RP-01 Cast Wheels


Wheel Weights are...
18x8.5" = 9.52Kg
18x9.5" = 10.43kg

Not the lightest, but not too bad.

The Advan RS 18x10 were 10Kg each.

BTW,

Wheels are off to the machine shop today.
Maybe by the end of next week.
