Adding Lots of Carbon Fiber to My K-Swap RX7

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Most of the time when I build a car it is to make it go faster or be more reliable, this time I venture out of my comfort zone and install a bunch of useless carbon fiber. All of this is pointless and unnecessary but I want my car to look awesome and adding these parts is going to visually enhance the car so much more.

    fun fact about ethanol here in Brazil, most of our cars are bi-fuel, use gasoline or ethanol, or even any proportion between them right in the tank. it is common for engines - mainly European cars - adapted to be bi-fuel here in Brazil by the manufacturers themselves, end up getting up to 10% more horsepower than in their original countries with the original calibrations. Ethanol here in Brazil is obtained from sugar cane planted right here. All the ethanol carbon burned here ends up being absorbed by the plantations again. Ethanol is clean and powerfull, perfect
