They say "turbo look." Kind of makes you think "turbo, look."

Yeah, well.....

say what you will. That is one very clean Vert. I'd view it as a perfect candidate for a TII retrofit once the current motor breaks.

I for one have always been a fan of the look of the JSpec Vert at the least. I've always felt that it was such a shame the heaviest 2nd Gen, thus in most need of, (with) the TII drivetrane never made it to the US public.

At least this has that look.

$5000 paint job and has a mismatched hood scoop and spoiler.

All it needs now to complete the "im a dumbass who doesnt get my whole car painted a once" look is some bondo spots over the door handles.

Do you think that is bad...look at this one from autotrader:

1990 Mazda RX7 Convertible (Cabriolet), hard + soft top, produced 2 years and 2 colors only, a true collectors edition, original price $30k, asking $8900 or more info call (864)578-8458 BOILING SPRINGS, SC #

At $8900 this person may actually believe the crap they wrote.

"THE TIRES ARE 215/15/45/17 GOODYEARS"

funny, the only tires I know of that have two different aspect ratio's are on circle track outlaws. I wasn't aware that they'd fit on heavy *** bling bling rims though.

Why did he toss the beautiful stock BBS rims and paint that car in a color better suited for use on a motorboat?

"5 Speed Manual" looks like an automatic to me
"Two Tone Paint" metallic blue/primer
"Rotary Style Engine" style?
"Cup Holders" i hope he's not referring to the ones in the glovebox
"Remote Fuel Door, Remote Trunk Lid" the remote is located on the floor to the left of the drivers seat
"Tinted Glass" i dont think the 3" of tint along the top of the windshield count....
