This is something that hits more close to home with me. Being apart of MazdaFitment.com has allowed me to connect with a variety of different Mazda enthusiasts. One such Mazda enthusiast is Chris Tran, who owns the 1993 Montego Blue FD3S on Volk Racing TE37SL who then in turn connected me with Erik Nomm’s 1994 Red Pearl FD3S on Work Meisters. In the end we are here with a photo set of both these rotary beasts for your viewing pleasure.

Thanks to Amanda Hacks and Erik Nomm for shooting this duo.

First up is Chris Tran’s 1993 Montego Blue FD3S aka “ROT8TN,” which is built and slammed. Please reference the modification list below.


One of the meanest touches to the car are the Hot Water Labs headlights. They fit right at home on this.


Addition to the headlights are the wheels. Volk Racing TE37SL in 18×9.5 and 18×10.5 with Hankook Ventus V12 Evo tires.
