White Rabbit

After a lot of back-and-forth between possible entries, I've finally decided to go with a 1971 Renault Alpine A110. I just placed an order for the kit, so I'll post photos when it arrives (below is just a stock photo). The idea is to de-rallyfy the car back into a street-legal configuration. There're also some transkits that add a full trunk, working hinges, etc., that I'm looking into.

Thank you for the great overview and pictures! The wagon should be the 1974 Mazda RX4 driven by Tom Kozlowski, Jeff Martini, Pierre Honegger, and Ray Walle. It can be identified by its e-z wider stickers on its quarter panels.

Thank you, Mike! It was certainly an honor to be able to host the Cannonball; particularly with such enthusiastic builders who truly make the Run what it is!

We already have some great ideas! I have to admit, I'm pretty excited about the next Cannonball! My theme ideas are based around commemorating the winners of the 1975 Run: Jack May and Rick Kline in a Ferrari Dino. 1. The all-Ferrari Run: all street-legal Ferraris are eligible. 2. The all-Italian Run: all Italian street-legal cars are eligible. 3. The Mid-Engine Run: all mid-engine cars are eligible.

Thank you, Anton, for continuing the Cannonball tradition by moderating what will undoubtedly be the best Run yet!

Hello Cannonballers! With this year's winner being announced, the 2024 running of the Cannonball Run has come to a close. I want to thank everyone who participated in the build. We had a lot of great builds that seem to be getting more impressive every year! Congratulation again to our winner, Anton! As was expected, the final vote was close with the top three separated by only two votes each (8, 6, and 4). I've enjoyed moderating the Cannonball these past two years and I appreciate everyone who gave me the opportunity to do so! Thank you! However, there are several projects that I am planning on working on in the coming year, so I will not be moderating next year's Run. Yet, the Cannonball should continue as it is a great annual tradition. So, if anyone is interested in moderating, please let us know. Thank you again for a great two years! Though, I wont be moderating, I am planning on still entering next year. And, just a reminder, next year's Run will coincide with the 50th anniversary of the 1975 Cannonball Run!

Hello Cannonballers! It's a bit early, but the official winner of the Cannonball is: Congratulations, Anton, on the win!

Congratulations Anton (Mattilacken) on winning this year's Cannonball Run! You exemplified the Restomod theme with a well-thought out and well-built Porsche that looks right at home at the Portofino Inn!

Hello. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that I hadn't taken any interior photos (pre-final assembly) until after the body, interior, and chassis/engine were put together for the final time! I genuinely thought I had taken at least one of the interior and dash upon their completion, but after checking, I didn't.

1972 Mazda RX3 This project was certainly a journey! I began in February and just finished on December 1st with approximately 200+ hours invested into the build. Overview Engine and Drivetrain The model itself was originally curbside. I modeled and printed a 13B NA rotary with 5-speed transmission; both from the FD RX7. The 13B also has fuel injected ITBs and tubular headers that lead into a twin-pipe exhaust; both with a white thermal coating. An aluminum driveshaft connects to the RX3 solid rear axle. Cooling is by way of a large capacity aluminum radiator with SPAL electric fan. A stock oil cooler sits just below. Brakes and Suspension The brakes were upgraded to Wilwood 4-piston Dynapro calipers front and rear over Wilwood two-piece rotors. The rears also received a set of Wilwood electronic parking brake calipers. Additionally, the master cylinder and adjustable brake bias are both from Wilwood. The dampers are Koni Yellows, front and rear. Interior Since this is a resto-mod, the interior is fully modified. The dash has been modernized while still retaining the spirit and intent of the original design. The center stereo has been removed and the dash sits indecently off the center console. A tablet visually connects the two while providing infotainment. The rear of the console has a placeholder for a phone for the rear occupants. Seats are Recaro LX up front with a matching design in rear. The door panels have had a similar modernization as the dash. They've been simplified in design, but still retaining the original character. The windows are now electric with the controls in the center console. Finally, Door straps replace the elbow rest. Since the theme color of the car was light grey with black and an accent color of Acid Green, the interior reflected this as well with black and dark grey. The door straps and seat belts received the green accent while the dash center wears the exterior color of Insignia White. Exterior The body itself has remained mostly stock. The largest changes include de-badging front and rear, with only a Mazda logo on the rear. The plastic grille was opened and replaced with a hexagonal mesh. The front bumper has been smoothed to remove the license plate holders and the mirrors are bullet-type. Wheels are 16x7 Watanabe RS wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza tires. Specifications Model: Fujimi Mazda RX3 (Savanna) Modeled and Printed Parts: Engine and all related bits, transmission and related bits, u-joints, headers, exhaust, rear dampers, brakes, brake and clutch master cylinders, wheels and tires, entire interior (except steering wheel and column), mirrors, and windshield wipers Modifications: Converted from right to left-hand drive, de-curbised, opened hood, opened grille with mesh Photos
