What if we want to go... faster? Here is version 2.0 of my Subaru BRZ, modified to be ready for the track! After watching people modify their cars, I wanted to further modify my BRZ. Let's discuss the new mods.
To go fast, we need more power and aero! First, we have a massive APR Performance wing. I then replaced the old bumper diffuser with an actual one. At the front, we have a larger front splitter. We now have new Varis front fenders for additional aero. The rear fenders have a new vent inspired by the Rallybacker V2 kit. We also have a new Varis hood, which has much larger vents for cooling. Also, the car has new lighter weight wheels!
To add more power, let's pretend it is now tuned on E85. To compensate for that, we have an oil cooler to keep temps down. I also replaced the dual exit exhaust with a single exit. Additionally, the old air suspension has been replaced with coilovers. And the trunk now has a bottle of NOS! With more power, we now have a sequential transmission, and you can see the new shifter for it. I also added a hydro hand brake. Both were inspired by watching the cars in @formulad like @adam_lz's S15.
In the interior, I replaced the gauge cluster with a fully digital one. The center AC vent has been replaced with a switch panel. The seats are now changed to Sparco halo bucket seats for additional safety. Speaking of safety, there is a fire extinguisher on the passenger side and we have red tow hooks in the front and rear of the car.
Now we are ready to go to the track!
This was very fun modifying my BRZ and is why I love designing Lego cars so much. It's similar to building an actual car. You can add any wheels, wings, and bumpers that you like to your car. You just need to build it!
But, what if we want to go... EVEN faster?
Version: v2.0
Scale: ~1:18

Introducing my TCP Magic FD Rx7! Fully equipped with aero upgrades and a new billet 20B 3 rotor engine!
After building my Supra, I didn't plan on building the Rx7 so soon. However, it happened because I saw 3dsupercarbricks (3DSCB) release his Rx7. When I first saw it, I was shocked! It was the first time I've seen someone build an Rx7 with this kit. I first saw it in Car Throttle's YT and Superstreet, and I loved how it looked. I think it took less than 3 months to design it, which is the fastest build I've done so far.
Looking at 3DSCB's version, I took inspiration from the front bumper, front fenders, rear fenders, doors, C-pillar, and tail lights. His version is super solid, so I adapted it for my ~1:17 version.
Typically, people with this kit delete the popups, but I decided to keep it. In the second picture, you can see it with the lights up. It's not perfect, so it looks a little sleepy. I'll have to redo it in the future, but for now, I like it down as it looks sleek.
The hood is based on Streethunterdesigns, which was originally designed by @mickeyandrade. The coolest part is the large center vent, where you can see the intercooler through it.
The 20B engine is the highlight of this build. The goal was to make it pop by using metallic silver pieces. The end result just looks beautiful! The gold accents add a nice touch of contrast as well. This engine build has set the bar for me to design future engines.
In the rear, I took the APR wing from my v2.0 BRZ, but used wider wing stands. I added a massive Tomei exhaust, which I love! However, that meant I had to cut the diffuser. I initially wasn't a fan of the large vents from the rear fenders, but they have grown on me. The rear hatch was daunting, but things clicked and it is perfect!
Overall, I think this Rx7 turned out amazingly, and I might just have to create a few more versions.
Version: v1.0
Scale: ~1:17
