Along Came a Speedster

A further development of the 964 RWB. Passenger seat is a 1992 RS Seat. The speedster parts are heavily modified from RR3

Ofc only right side is done

The Vette

Here we go:

I tweaked the vertices on the front bumper for an hour, re-triangulated, chamfered and created the front license plate recess. Then my friend Marko helped with the rear hatch to speed things up. I also fixed many normals issues caused by no knifing vertices which did not understand in my noob days. The side vents were also updated, but the rear bumper looks like crap and is far from done or even being recognizable. I've been redoing the door jambs and the following shit was done:
two bolt 1980 spec taillights
corresponding taillight trim rings
front bumper grills and can turn signals
rubber lip
new running gear [more pics soon]

extended hoodline [post '72 don't have wiper cover]
FM3 interior 
Modified foot wells
License plates [1980 NY]
fixed radiator position
New 350 engine [bye 9 mpg 454]
Fixed hood pivot point
new gas cap
New flag badges by Marko and me
calipers
brakes
rear traversal leaf irs
front dual wishbone
Reshaped tires
New Tire textures modified in Ps but from APEC's 427 Impala [don't think he made them though]

 

Project JDM Legends: Wrapping it up - an SA22C Finalized

Hello guys, after one long talk with Flash, we decided to both finish up some RX-7 projects. He had the kit, and I had the livery, base car and a bunch of other crap. First, I shaved all the mirrors, badges, rear wipers etc, like the real car. Next, I removed the sunroof, as their 12A car does not have one. I cut the fenders for the flares, like the real car. The car had its paintjob applied and the rear wing and front air dam were modified to fit. I tweaked the wheel's material settings to give it a bronze finish and found correct proxes R888 tires. I made the interior burgundy red and did a RHD conversion. I also created a Momo Olympic III steering wheel. All the stickers were replicated.

You can read the original Speedhunters feature here.

Flash and I sent the results to Eric Bizek of JDM Legends, one of the men responsible for creating this car.

He replied:

Wow, that is VERY nice work!  You guys are definitely good at what you do and it's an honor to have you model our RX-7, you even got the tailpipe right.

I checked the blogs you sent but is there a link to this car in particular or somewhere it can be downloaded?

I personally don't have GTA San Andreas yet but this would be a great excuse to pick it up ;)

Thanks again.

Here are some pictures

I will finish this car and get it converted.

O.Z. Futuras

I needed some old school O.Z. Futuras, and then I found Filipovic's. However they had the newer style centercap like this. So I redid the centercap and made textures and Re UV mapped a tire with my T1R textures. No download after the BBS Fan incident. I'll stick to exclusive skype distribution.

Bosozoku Nissan 240ZG part II

GTR (gtrgtasamods.blogspot.com) sent me the engine to his Akuma no Zeto Z and told me to redo my first car here. So I did it up with 70's IMSA works style fenders and a "Pantera" hatch, a disco ball hanging from the rear view mirror, boso exhaust and some SSR Focus Racing wheels. All of this was completely made from scratch. Following this, I edited some foglights from Marko and a tsurikawa by Club[TH] which I fixed the normals on and reshaped. I also added a front oil cooler and a custom rollcage, a japanese rising sun spray painted on under neath the hood and the Cherry X1-R tails by Club[TH]. I'm wrapping it up.

W.I.P. Rauh-Welt Begriff Porsche 911 964 Demo car

This time it's a 964. I got the car from Marko originally, but it may very well be Keisuke's 930 Stella Artois RWB. I made the front bumper and modified the FM4 964 side skirts to match the RWB overfenders. The wheels are 18" Work Meister S1 3Ps which came from SLRR, and I redid the centers in a 5x130 bolt pattern for Porsches. You can see the difference because the lug pattern holes go through part of the spoke, unlike on more regular fitment wheels. I used my axle nut behind the center hole of the wheel. Enjoy the pics. I tried my hand at ZModeler rendering.

Toyo Proxes Tire Textures

Decided to make some textures today. I made treads for Toyo Proxes T1R and RA1. I have a T1R Sidewall someone else made. The tread textures are in .bmp format and are hq hd super swag detailed and 512x512 px.

For the T1R, in Zmod

tread - add 93 across all 3 channels

sidewall - add 153 across all 3 channels

For the RA1 (uses RR sidewall) in Zmod

tread - add 133 across all 3 channels

sidewall - add R:86, G:82, B:80

Super Advan Racing V2

Continuing with the TE37 Tokyo Time Attacks is another redone wheel. Once again. the base is ripped by Keisuke. I remapped and made my own texture and scratched a new lip. Look fo it on an upcoming project.

BN Sports Mazda RX-7 FD3S

I made this RX-7 about a week ago. The base is from J2 converted by Keisuke. The BN Sports blister kit is by Yazzy and I customized it and removed the side gills on the front fenders. I also did various tweaks to make it fit better. Then I added RE-Amemiya fixed headlights with parts from Keisuke. I used my own exhaust and my Personal Neo Grinta wheel. I also added a nice competition spec roll cage with pads, an ARC intercooler and a fuel cell. Lastly, I topped it off with some white XD9s made by CS for me and I used my own lug nuts and axle hub.

Enjoy the pics.

Hayshi Street [link fixed]

I realized that I uploaded an old version of my Hayashi Streets that were crappy. I put the correct link like in the picture.
