Bye Bye Rotary... RB25 Widebody FD RX7 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Ventolin · 03-12-2009, 09:08 PM

Just thought I'd share this with you guys.

This FD RX7 is owned by Brent Villareal, the marketing director for TunerlifestyleTV.com, an online magazine/media site. Brent is also one of the members of Team Senbou in Houston, Texas.

The car is an FD RX7, painted Monterey Blue (Lamborghini Murcialago), sits on a massive set of HREs, and is powered by a Nissan RB25DET. I'll post a mods list afterwards.

Definitely one of the nicest cars I've ever photographed. Photos below, remember you can click any of them to view my photostream, more photos, and my other work as well!

We didn't plan bay shots, I wasn't too prepared, and his bay (and his motor build) is not nearly finished... it wasn't quite as clean as the rest of the car, either. Anyways... the RB swap!

HRE 540s.

And not only does it come with photos, but I'm going to share video as well! Check it!

s15specR · 03-12-2009, 09:16 PM

What are you doing posting in here Vent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good pics as usual, post up that 350z son.

Ventolin · 03-12-2009, 09:17 PM

Dude, Lenny suggested I share it here. I forgot my other account name, but I lurk here quite a bit. I thought people might like it due to the Rb25 swap

s15specR · 03-12-2009, 09:20 PM

Oh hell yeah it's tight, and since when you're taking advice from Afro-Puff LOL !!!!!!

Ventolin · 03-12-2009, 09:27 PM

LOL

Maybe next time I'm up that way you'll have that car ready to shoot :P

Z33dori · 03-12-2009, 10:50 PM

my god that is hot....

could use 1" or 2" lower for perfection

aoiken3 · 03-12-2009, 11:09 PM

pure sickness. sex on wheels......interior shots??

Ventolin · 03-12-2009, 11:31 PM

No interior shots yet... but they will come

This was kind've like... a preliminary shoot. Spent an hour or two on it. Have plans to get this car published.

eh? · 03-12-2009, 11:34 PM

Beautiful car and great photography but the RB25 is a bit of a let down. An RB26 would have suited better!

J ROK · 03-12-2009, 11:48 PM

Bigger front tires, and rear bumper=pure beauty

adrians_s13 · 03-13-2009, 12:22 AM

Car looks good!

but I'm kinda weirded out by the tires. Its like hella stretched up front, yet fatty looking in the rears. I'd say go stretched all around, or go fatty tires all around, but not one or the other. /.02

PoorMans180SX · 03-14-2009, 02:20 PM

Pretty nice car, and nice photoshoot.

I bet the 700 lb RB didn't mess up the balance of the car at all

Xbroke_kidX · 03-15-2009, 01:42 AM

drag car stance ftl hahah
nice car though.

iloveturbos · 03-15-2009, 03:28 PM

nice ass car , engine swap is a little out of the norm..

def..needs too be a little lower , and get a bigger intercooler for god's sake

s142jzkillav10 · 03-16-2009, 01:48 PM

F&ck yea Love the Color, Love the Car, Love the RB. +++

Twincamlove · 03-16-2009, 02:40 PM

That's probably the right sized intercooler. If it doesn't need bigger, why go bigger? There's this cool thing called efficiency.

*Antihero983* · 03-16-2009, 03:24 PM

wait. lambos come in blue?

also, the rear needs to be lowered a bit to make the car's look flow better.

lightsource · 03-27-2009, 03:45 AM

Great job man,

I love the photography & car!

alfi · 03-27-2009, 09:45 AM

JDMslide180 · 04-04-2009, 04:14 PM

Way to go with a sick ass FD.
Clean ass motor swap, really feeling the wide body

Ventolin · 04-05-2009, 07:43 PM

Thanks for the love on the photography

Bubbles · 04-09-2009, 05:58 PM

Braaap brraaap.

unlegendary · 04-09-2009, 06:51 PM
