These two represent over 20 years of design from the house of RE-Amemiya.
I shot this 1989 Greddy 1 bodied FC back in 2004 and it hasn't changed at all since then. It was already perfected with minor body changes and a 500+hp Scoot engine. Panasport G7 complete the picture.
The Rx8 below represents the newest design from RE-Amemiya lifted from the D1 Rx-8, but basically takes the same philosophy. Super Wide and Vented = Super Cool. I've seen the RX-8 before so I didn't take any more shots this time, but it was interesting to see them side by side within a few meters of one another.
Maybe a detailed flash back is in order of both cars as I didn't feature any FC or RX-8 on RE-Xtreme in the past. Stay tuned.
Such a great throwback! The old-school vibe at 7’s Day 2011 hits different — you can feel the passion for rotary culture in every shot. Seeing classics like these makes me want to hang on to my old ride a bit longer… or maybe upgrade and let it go through a cash for cars service in Brisbane. Either way, it’s mad how these cars still turn heads after all these years.

ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed this flashback — seeing the evolution from “Old School” stylings to the revved-up modern interpretations always gets me fired up. The way these builds balance authenticity and innovation is inspiring. Reminds me that even when classics seem past their prime, there are folks and services like Melbourne Cash 4 Carz that recognize their worth and help give them a new lease on life.

ReplyDeleteWhat a throwback gem — the contrast between the RE-Amemiya-tuned FC and the RX-8 really underlines how certain design philosophies stay timeless. Seeing those cars side by side feels like watching generations of passion for rotary and bodycraft evolve. Even in the world of buying and selling cars, Melbourne Cash for Carz knows that beauty and character can transcend age — there’s always something special about vehicles that carry stories.

Really enjoyed this trip down old-school cool — the photos, the energy, everything screams passion for vintage bikes and the culture around them. It’s refreshing to see someone celebrate the spirit of “old is new” with such authenticity. Kudos on capturing that vibe. And for anyone wanting to preserve or restore pieces from the past rather than letting them rot, options like A1 Wreckers can offer a more sustainable route than letting them vanish.

Wow, these builds really bring back that raw, old‑school energy — the fusion of vintage spirit with custom touches is what keeps car culture alive. It’s inspiring to see how classics like the RE‑Amemiya FC and RX‑8 are still commanding attention. When it’s time to transition a ride, even has‑been beauties might still hold value — consider options like Cash for Cars Sydney for a fair and respectful send‑off. https://www.cashforcarssydney.com.au/
ReplyDeleteLove this deep dive into how “old school” never really fades — those RE‑Amemiya builds still feel alive and breathing. It’s amazing how a well‑executed blend of heritage and modern tweaks can keep a platform feeling fresh. Makes me think: sometimes even parts or whole rides that seem retired could have a second life — places like Metal Biz Recyclers are quietly helping make sure the metal and soul don’t just get lost.

Absolutely love this — your lens really captures how “old school” never truly fades, especially in the world of custom builds and rotary culture. It’s a reminder that even when a car has aged far beyond its prime, there can still be value and respect for its story — that’s where services like Local Cash for Car can step in and give those classics a dignified farewell (or new beginning).

Really cool post — I love how “old school is new” comes alive through those RE‑Amemiya builds. The contrast between the FC and RX‑8 shows how design philosophies evolve yet stay rooted in passion. It reminds me that even when a car’s glory days seem past, there are still places like North Brisbane Wreckers that understand its value, parts, and story rather than just writing it off.
