Pacific T-Top or Pacific Avatar made the best widebody kit, imo.

Search for Adrenalife's Rx-7 to see pics of this unfortunately discontinued kit.

There was an old '82 on ebay with that kit on it a couple of weeks ago...

rotary emotions, that is one of the kits that is close to it... here is the thing I want to run this as a daily driver and that kit is not up to the abuse of a daily driven kit. It us built to be light weight and aerodynamic not take the occasional boor or cart bump. From what I was told by mariah it will sustain damage very easily. Bummer

This troubles me. It makes me think that he is not happy that he owns an RX-7 and wants to change it another car. THAT is why i don't think he should get a body kit.

i was just kidding man, but i kinda got confused when moremazda said that he wanted one sleeker than this, but wider than that, but nicer than this, but sportier than that.... there isn't much other than custom fabs... so... just got tired and had to flame...

no worries man, put whatever body kit you want on your car, and goodluck.

If you are looking for a "newer" looking car why dont you just use the $2k+ you are gonna spend on this body kit, installation, and paint, along with what ever your car is worth to buy a 2nd Gen.

Agreed, except for the steering.. Wish we had that rack and pinion they do.

Some want new and sleek, some like it old school, some want all out performance..It's all personal. I'm going to start work on installing a mariah its legal dam (very subdued but functional) on my 85 GSL this weekend. I'm in the old school camp myself..One good resource to try are any local Rx-7 clubs. The DC area has a huge Rx-7 club and a lot of those guys know how to get their hands on different stuff (old, new..etc). Check with your local clubs..Also a good custom body man wouldn't hurt either.

Ok so you want to mod your car not a big deal. But why don't you try chilling out and not being such a cocky little kid. Because with the attitude you have right now people arn't going to want to help you. Also if your as cocky while driving as you are on this board, you better chill out there too. Because most likey you'll get your self hurt, killed, or even worse somone else. So just relax man. Even a 100hp FB can surprise you so just chill. And people will help you with your questions man. But people are gonna say things you don't wanna hear too it's a public board man it's just somthing your gonna have to deal with.

Don't get too butthurt man. Good luck coming up with the $60k+ in the next 3 months so you can embarass everyone with you're mad l33t RX-7's (remember, you'll make the money quicker if you sell the crack and don't smoke it all). Grow up kid. Keep shiftin' Mad kWik yO!

Really, any "new looking" kits are custom. The cars are now around 20 years old and there's not a huge demand for ricey body kits for them so no one makes them. You can pick and choose your kit, you'll just have to pay someone to graft it on for you.

WOW

I just read this, Insane, Man, just switch your car up, your asking for just urls pretty much, but you have to understand, thats what Googles for, I realise that your ego got abit ahead of you, and I am fairly new here, but WOW, seriously, your one of those guys that get arrested for beating up 12 year old for simple stuff like walking to class and such, then brag about it, but their all 20 and buff when you retell it huh?

I personally offer you abit of advice, if you are interested in making the best RX-7 in your state, you have along road ahead of you, with alot of needed cash (and don't try to come off as rich, you will only sound lame) and the major advice for being the best is make it yourself, its a pain in the ***, but to be the best, you can't just bolt **** on, spend some time here and there, don't buy the kit, and the gauges, then just put it in places, hell, make a custom dash, add the gauges and such in a good way, like smooth, plus add the kit of course, as for the fastest, I have just started on this board, and have only had my RX-7 for 2 months, but I am fairly fast (it has the same feel as my camaro power wise, but it is alot smaller then the Camaro, I assume even 25 horses would be insane on a tricycle ) so I assume theres guys out there twice if not three times as fast as me, as I have only done some basic tuning and such, and I know my camaro can, without a doubt, smoke mine, yours, and probably afew others RX-7s, I'm not saying Rx-7s are slow, just saying that I have had 2 years on the camaro, in comparison to the rx-7, so honestly, for a V8, its slower then I expected at this point.

But beyond all that, your 15, statistically your going to wreck your first car in the first 2 years of driving it anyways, so if you want to put a kit on it, go ahead, none of us live next door, and if we did, we probably wouldn't care anyways, hell, if you want, paint it black, add a half *** acura kit on it with some tape, and spray paint "I'm a pimp *** playa" on the windshield in that oh so cool old english type face.

Mad pimpin

I hate posting, seeing as I have nothing constructive to say, minus that you need to cool your heels, because your going to get hated on real fast with your attitude.


One more thing, when your done with your car, and its all best of state and what not, come on up to NorCal, I love ruining hopes and dreams

Peace
-Karma

I'm just playin, flame me, I don't care, if you can't take being 'told' then stop telling
