One of the nicest looking D1GP cars besides the ER34 from ‘Nomuken' is the FD RX7 build by R Magic, at least that's how I feel. The car is driven by Kenji Takayama, it's not a real top contender, yet I must add. It has all the potential but it just doesn't get past the top 16.
The car is running a T51R turbo from HKS which gives it 579ps. Wheels are the new Gram Lights 57D in 9J-17" in the front and 9.5J-18"in the back wrapped in Advan Neova's.
What is your favorite D1 car in the 2008 season?

Definately the Toyota Zero crown.
Favorite car will be AP-Boss S15 driven by Youichi Imamura. The bodykit on this FD looks really good. A question, why do rotaries always have huge turbos? It's always like the T04Zs, T51Rs, T88s and T78s. Why do they ditch the sequential twin-turbochargers? I've driven RX-7s and turbo lag is very present.
super dope car and dope photo!! jeroen, your head would explode over here in japan. you'd love it so much! wish you could come out here too!

Few years ago the R-Magic were little known....then after their FD marked a 55 sec at Tsukuba, they became big. Great cars come out from R-Magic.
