Thumbs up 2003 RE Amemiya JGTC GT300

Since RE Amemiya won't be running JGTC GT300 anymore. I saw this was for sale in Japan. So I bought them. This would be something nice to collect for rotary fans. I might use this kit to build another race car.

Holy effin crap! Not often you see JGTC parts from a race car being sold on the open market, if ever. That's a genuine piece of rotary history right there.

The only way I can deal with this is just to pretend I didn't see it. Goodbye now. I need to pray.

Wow that is really awesome, even better with the battle scars! Are you going to patch it up or just run it as is?

Are you guys that hot on this kind of stuff? I'll keep an eye out if it so.

Yes, speaking for myself, this is just about the coolest thing I've ever seen with regards to the acquisition of used parts. Seriously, what could be cooler than this (other than something like parts from a 787B or Furai lol)?

Ever seen that used WRC parts website? They sell entire WRC cars, or you can just buy it in pieces!

No, but that's awesome. I suppose I meant, as far as FD (or even just RX-7) parts.

It's weird to see the body parts of this car when I've seen it so much on old vids of JGTC and when playing Gran Turismo.

I definitely agree that is museum level stuff and should be restored but not cannibalized for any regular wide body FD build.

You should talk to Ken at shine and see if he would copy those. Who knows you might get a kick back.
