Here are some recent photos.. Been doing some track days and having fun with the car.



And it got kind of wet.. Testing out the Toyo R888s..

That's my old RX3 but I no longer own it. Friend of mine in ATL owns it now.

I see, it was so beautiful

Very nice! I remember when your eunos cosmo was featured a few years back. I always wondered if it was registered to drive in the US.

Gratz on the feature, and keep building kick ass rotary powered vehicles. This sure beats the shit out of any v8, rb, jz swap.

Update!

Since the magazine is out and I finally got it in my mail box, I'll post some photos from the shoot.

Here are my iPhone photos that I posted on instagram..

Getting ready to shoot inside and engine bay.




Normally you don't see the rear end


One of my favorite shot I took..


And the cover photo Modified is using on their Facebook page..

Do you happen to have an rx-3 that is in Super Street as well?

Now I had the matte black finish for a week and put some miles on the car.

Here is what I like about the finish.

-No more polishing and waxing the car
-Wiping the car with just water to clean
-protects my original paint
-easy to re-do
-costs $200 to re do.

Here are some more pics over the past 10 days..

Sweet. It looks mean as hell. I especially like the clear dip on the carbon fiber stuff. Nice detail.

[Herblenny]

Ok.. Finally after some researching the Plasti Dip and trying some cans, I've decided to get the Pro Car kit from www.DipYourCar.com and finally paint the whole car..

But, Day before dipping the car, took all the aero off and did a track day









Next day, I borrowed my friend who owns BNR Turbos' shop and prep'd for laying some 'dip'.
Here is a video :

Now some end results.







I also clear dipped all my carbon bits.. and installed my carbon aeros..







Interior with clear dip on carbon bits.



By the way.. 4 hours after dip, I had to drive 1 hour in rain back to my house..



Not bad for a first time dip.. Black is temporary but will keep it for few weeks and change to a different color... will post some more pics when I change.
