Jada - FooBoy Replica

There was a time in Australia when the coolest RX-7s were the simplest. Reliable modifications and stock body with Mazdaspeed parts reigned.

Aaron Foo's FD was one such car. Well known in the rotary scene for minimal coolness. As Aaron and I became friends, I eventually made a replica for him.

Jada Toys Die Cast Models

For those wanting Fun FD3s replicas, Jada has a lot to offer.  The initial release 1/18 scale die cast cars were based on C-west RX7s

Jada - Pan Speed Replica

 This is a modified Jada Option D Work version. I custom carved the Pan Speed front to complement the crazy curves on these cars to create a street style replica.

The rear spoiler received the treatment also and then a coat of red to complete the transformation. the bonnet was painted to reflect the carbon style.

These cars have great detail inside and out. while not so scale they certainly make good showpieces.

Metal work sucks! but you get there in the end.

It was a shame to start this one.

But the side had a lot of decals that really weren't looking great.

So it got the renovation.

I later swapped the hood for a normal version and used the scoot style on another project.

Jada - RE-Xtreme Wide Body

 This is a Jada Toys 1/18 scale replica that started out as a silver and gold C-West version.

My own car at the time was similar and I really wanted white. So this was the replica.

Even replica of me.

It's pretty fat! the dis on the TE37 is massive. You don't get that in real life. I love the craziness of Jada toys.

This shot shows the width and no detail.

Waterspray on the IC? maybe?

Here are a couple of shots of the build.

Wide isn't she.

Even Keisuke and Ryosuke were impressed.
