[TC18] 1997 Mazda RX-7 [Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift]

[_artemshulgin_]

Hello everyone This contest is a great opportunity to make a statement! Here I will describe my success in creating a car.
I chose the Mazda Rx-7 because I have every opportunity to replicate the cool car from the cult movie. 

 I want to use 42093 as a basis, since it is similar to this model in stock. I will Refine it and add the main features of RX7

These days, I've put together a V4 engine suitable for a rear-wheel drive chassis

Awesome, looks good so far :)

[romashkaman]

Hmm, will creating topics be a paid option in near future?) If no, maybe it's better to build something first

What is looking awesome? Was there some progress that got deleted? Looks like another idea reservation to me...

Хм, будет ли создание тем платным вариантом в ближайшем будущем?) Если нет, может лучше сначала что-то построить

I just started building the model, so there are no pictures yet! But I promise that soon they will definitely be)

Ooh, yeah I am sick of this as well. Reading the rules seems to be a challenge

Что выглядит потрясающе? Был ли какой-то прогресс, который был удален? Похоже, еще одна идея бронирования для меня ...

Photos will be soon, just started construction

[romashkaman]

About idea reservation - why to fear somebody will build the same model? 100% it won't be really the same... It's a chance to show your building skills

It won't be 100% the same, that's true. However reserved idea discourage others from building the same or similar model. And it was common in the past that reserved idea had never materialized (with not a single picture posted). This resulted in that idea not being build by anyone.

Oh my god, this is even worse than I thought...Not only does this thing have the Veilside kit which just kills the RX7s beauty beyond recogniton, but it is engine swapped as well, and with a goddamn 4Banger no less? At least swap something worthy like a RB26 or a 2JZ, or an LS if you have to...

I love the RX7, and to me this is about the worst thing you can do to a RX7. Just my opinion tho.

The moc, however, looks good!

During these few days I managed to assemble the V4 Twin Turbo engine as in the original car.

What!? I'm not a big car fan and don't care much about the F&F movies, but I know Mazda RX have Wankel engines, precisely because that's exotic..

Is that not the case in the movie? 

[Edit] It is.

They mention a V intercooler, not a V engine. The engine is a Wankel.

Какая!? Я не большой поклонник автомобилей и мне не безразличны фильмы F & F, но я знаю, что у Mazda RX есть двигатели Ванкеля, именно потому, что это экзотика ...

Разве это не так в фильме? 

[Править] Это так. 

https://www.topspeed.com/cars/mazda/2005-the-fast-and-the-furious-tokyo-drift-veilside-rx-7-ar11157.html

Они упоминают интеркулер V, а не V двигатель. Двигатель Ванкеля. 

Yes, I read and watched a lot about it. There was installed a two-section Wankel rotary piston engine with
Twin turbocharged and it was four piston. But in my model I decided to simply assemble a model of four piston engines with rear-wheel drive and a dictatorial turbine.

Thank you for the information

You mean 4 rotors?

[Raymonndo]

Look forward to seeing this complete

Damn, I don't remember speaking russian. 

Seriously, we're building Lego here. It's for fun, sure. But we're a community, so that means we have some social interaction, and a minimum of seriousness is required in that sense, I believe. I'm convinced people would think better of you should you take more care checking your sources and using your in-line translator. 

Avoid horrors like speaking of Wankel pistons and posting in russian, please.

Ok, I understand you! Regarding the engine in my model, I just assembled a four-cylinder unit suitable for the chassis design. I see no reason to find fault with this, this is stupid. Competition to build the most accurate engine layout? So I apologize for the inaccurate description.

You build whatever you please. Beware of what you say it is, or at all, for that matter. That was my advice.

Артём, вам нужно использовать другую платформу для фото-хостинга, не загружай фото на сам форум Евробрикс. Рекомендуется Фликр, Бриксейф или Брикшелф.

Interesting base for MOC, albeit not my fav version of RX-7
