Rx-heven just ordered a set from TriPoint last week. He is so into rotaries his eyes have been replaced by rotors.

20B RX-Heven? Yup. I've chatted with him briefly. I can't wait to see his project when it's finished.

It would be really cool to have a few 20B FCs together in one place. If I can save up the funds, I'm THINKING about driving my 10AE cross-country next year to bring it to Sevenstock. Either that, or I'll ship it out since I'll only have about 5 days of vacation. Heh.

yeah, i would too. probably just a stock s5 for me with a lip. all i want are the sides, i like the way the vents look and fc's stock aren't particularly appealing to me.

Read my post jackass, I asked about a wide boy kit and said nothing about a v8 until someone accused me of likely having no mods and no power. I quickly corrected him. I've had camaros before, and like the idea of putting one of their engines in a 1000 lb car that can be had for near nothing...even if ive gotta rip that shitty little beer keg motor out to do it.

I hate V8 FC/FD swaps but it's your car and regardless of how stupid i think it is i know, for a fact, that it will be stupid fast.......but it just won't sound right.....and in some cases HANDLE well.
All i want are the quarter panels and rocker panels...there are probably side skirts needed as well. The rest of the kit, they can keep. For their prices, they can actually keep the whole damn thing...I just wish I could find a knockoff. When I go widebody I'll probably get the tripoint one.

Unless you are pushing 300hp+ custom rims/tires within the stock body lines should be plenty.

Personally I like the TriPoint Engineering kit the best. It follows the stock FC body lines and is about $1K for all 4 corners (don't forget shipping cost). 275+ up front and 335's out back. Mmmmmmmm

don't V8 an RX-7... you'll mess up the sound like RX7racer said
Yeah, that's why I'll be doing all of the paint/body work myself.

I'll make sure I attach a lawnmower to the back of the car so the sound is preserved.
