It's one of the IMSA widebody GTU kits. I can't remember if it is the 1st or 3rd version of the Kent body kit. the GTU kit from Mariah Motorsports is the 2nd version cuz it's got the . However, I don't remember where I read it, but I seem to recall hearing somewhere that those rear fenders were a limited run custom job or something like that.
I know there's a guy named Sassy in Japan that's got a Red '84 SA22C with a PP 12a that has a near-identical kit to that one. Might be the same car, except he's owned his for over 10 years now...
Now that I look at it, that front end is the same as the Mariah version of the 2nd Kent body kit. It just has lights in the brake cooling vents and I think that the mouth may have been made a little bit bigger. There is also the fact that that 22Cworks SA has the corner lights.
As far as those rear flares go, you may be SOL. I'm pretty sure that rear diffuser is a one-off as well.
There's a site somewhere that has a visual list of all the IMSA GTU and GTO kits used on the rx-7s. I'll have to find it somehow...

Here, I found the page. Luckily I bookmarked it.
http://www.re4life.com/IMSA_mods/IMS...Mods_Ja_01.htm
If you see "マツダファクトリーワークス" it means "Mazda Factory Works"
and "ケントレーシングデサイン" means Kent Racing Design.
...So you know who made the kit. It also says which version of each GTU/GTO kit it is under the pictures.
And I think I was right, that front end is probably one of the 1st version Kent Racing front ends. Although another group may have been reproducing it for JSS series cars or something... I don't really know.
Hope this helped.
