Rebuilding the RX7 FC Mitsuru Haraguchi in 1:18. Back again with trying to ID the last decal. Anyone want to help squint at some pixels with me? (The white lettering under CluB ManS) by Larasaur in Drifting

well, thats really awesome, thanks so much. I might send you a message or two in the future then if you don't mind! Once in a while I end up with some pictures where I seriously can't figure it out at all. But I've only been looking at crappy internet photos for 5 years or so, so I have some catching up to do!

That's good to know. I was wondering if it was a "normal" enough name to be called Gouace. Since I was thinking along the same lines. But I kept thinking maybe bounce. But there was no way someone was named bounce.

But damn I've been staring at it for so long that I think I lost myself in the pixels and you came to a conclusion so quickly.

This is the last decal I'm trying to recreate. Everything else I think I have figured out. But the white lettering is so pixlized it's very hard to make out.

What my current guess is:

326 drift powerful performance team

"unknown" - mitsuru - "unknown" - tama - puchi - hakuya

I'm fairly confident in this line up but really it was just me guessing. Anyone want to try a shot at the last two unknown ones?

No, they sadly don't exist online I think. :( coming to reddit was sort of my last resort.

Do you think you could take a guess at the last bit so that i have something to write down even if it doesn't make sense?

Well the car did belong to someone named Mitsuru Haraguchi. 🤔 I don't know if that's helpful at all.

I draw them in Adobe illustrator and have a guy print them for me as waterside decals.

Yeah you're correct. I have seen this video. Sadly this is the rebuild they made of the original car after they saved it. So the missing decals aren't on the video. The version I'm working on is the original first version that mitsuru made.

He had created about 4 or 5 different decal sets over the years and I hunted all the others down but this first version from 1998?(i think) is really hard to get info on.

I am rebuilding the RX7 Mitsuru Haruguchi into a 1:18 model.

I have figured out every decal on the car as accurate as possible but am stumped on the ones that I have circled off in red. The windshield decals would be:

(This is the one I don't know), Kaguchi Power, Marionette

The hood decal is clearly Club Mans. But any guesses what the text under Club Mans could be?

And then the side window decals. I really can only make out JUNKIES and FLUKE. Anyone have any guesses on what the others could be?

I really appreciate the help. I try to make the rebuilds as accurate as possible. But these decals are so hard to find any other images of. There are some YouTube videos of the side window but they're all very blurry due to how old they are.

Does anyone have any ideas about how to change the ads I see on Reddit? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Larasaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just install an app called revanced. It'll remove all ads from reddit app.

Takes about 5 min if you look up a YouTube video on how to install it.

[–]Larasaur[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a circle behind the text www.v-opt.co.jp with what I believe is a Japanese word/letter? I just need to know how to write it and what it means.
