Team Chihuahua RB25 RX7

[Kruizer]

When I was buying the bumper and skirts for the RX8 this kit became available, fell in love with the yellow one that Powervehicles had sold a few years back so bought the kit and threw it into the shed for next year to build a daily.

However as things transpired one of my mates decided to break his 1997 Model FD3S and since I knew the car from previous owners and its history I decided to take the plunge now. It has been fully Polly bushed, tein coilovers, red carpet and most of the interior (no seats). There is no running gear in this so I will be looking at fitting something reliable but with enough poke not to let the car down.

On the shopping list down the line will be wheels, running gear, seats and paint. For the moment I have been looking at 1UZFE's (4.0 V8) and M3's as a power plant however there seems to be a lot of grief converting the Toyota lump to manual. Don't expect regular updates on this project as my main focus is still on the SRX8 and I want to get a few bits done with the KP61 while its above in John Stones.

Some of you may have already seen the pic's of the kit I threw up but here is a recap along with a few other pic's Never realised the sheer size of the kit but soon figured it out :



Unpacked it and threw the Works under it for a giggle :







As close as I’ve been to drifting the past year :



The minty shell :


Picked up yet another vent from Mr. Driftkits


Got my hands on a BGW from damo86 so I plan to cut it, extend it and wrap it in carbon and have some legs made up :


Since I’m getting a lot of bits off Brian he added the Team Chihuahua logo into the vent, it is actually between the layer of fibreglass, I think it looks pretty cool



Well that’s all for now but as the project continues I will make sure to get pic’s up. For the latest updates on any of the cars as usual just check out : https://www.facebook.com/#!/teamchihuahua2012

Doubt I'll ever sell them as I refuse to take buttons for them so you'll probably see them on all future projects LoL But these are for the RX8.
