Snap shots | Rauh Welt Built Porsches

27 08 2008

I’m a regular visitor of both Speedhunters and Auto Otaku. Mike Garret posts on both these sites (Auto Otaku is indeed by his hand). He regularly writes about the Rauh Welt Built Porsches.

For me they are the best looking modified Porsches. Some of them are overdone with a lot of big wings. But most of it is form following function. So after one of the latest posts of Mike about the Idlers games at Tsukuba Circuit (part 1 and part 2), I decided it was time to collect some photo’s to let you see the cars that fascinate me (but I bet you have already seen them).

Must see | Prostock Racing BNR34 Time Attack

19 08 2008

Dino has posted new shots of one of his shoots, check them out! It’s the Prostock Racing BNR34 Time Attack car. And, uhm…, it’s red and looks fast. However it hasn’t been a Tsukuba yet, so no comparison. But the guys from Prostock Racing are pretty confident. According to Dino they didn’t want to compete at Tsukuba because they weren’t sure they would win first place. This year they think they are ready. Talk about dedication!

More RE-A | RX-997?

While I was writing the last post I found these.

This might look like an ‘average’ build. But take a look at these…

RE Amemiya have always been famous for their Porsche front end conversions on RX-7’s. With the new generation of Porsche’s finest, RE-A has upgraded as well.
I’m usually not a fan of these Frankenstein creations, but RE-A’s conversions somehow always work. The lines of the RX-7 go well with the Porsche headlights. I want one!





Drift Rex | RE Amemiya FD3S

14 08 2008

Found these wallpapers over on WallpaperGarage.com. Most of you must already know of this car. But I still think these shots are worth posting, just because it still is a great car. And, correct me if I’m wrong, it is still being used and developed even further. Check Ama-san’s blog for more shots (and info if you can read Japanese).

It seems that I have got a thing for B/W shots. Here is another one I really like. The shot is by Mark Nauta, check out more of his photos on his own site or on his flickr-account.





Snap shot | Dragon RX-7

In a previous post you could catch a glimpse of the Dragon Performance RX-7. This is a frontal of the beast. It just looks menacing, imagine this coming up in your rearview mirror.

This is close, in fact it is so close, I believe it is touching the barrier. Makes for a great shot though!
