Ya, I guess they just didnt believe you, so i backed it up with an "official source". I guess we just dont have a believing crowd here, so you have to sight your sources. heheha.

Oh i didnt realize that, i guess im just not too observant. Any ways i would still like to know where he got the badges?

Someone asked why you would want a real savanna aside from the fact that they are a novelty and collectable for the RHD. Suposedly they are lighter because i dont think they had to meet as stringent crash standards as the US models, so the door bars and alike are smaller etc. If you look up the specs the real savannas are like 100-200 lbs lighter. Yes you could just take a US rx7 and cut the same **** out and be just as light.

I got the badge on the front from a local Aussie car parts store called Rare spares. Funnily enough it dealt mainly with American muscle cars imported to the land down under. The RE12 badge i got from a place in Queensland, not sure of the name and the Savanna badge was from Mazford wreckers. Also Japperfomance carries rare badges.
