100k? IN LABOR!!!!! most of the interior pieces are just painted, and i can find screens for about $100 or less retail. if it was a real show car it would have higher quality rims like Iforged, BBS etc..... and there would be a wide body present.....


what a waste of an FD that couldve been a mean track car

the car looks to be well done and had quality workmanship put into it. I'm sure whoever built that has the same passion for cars that you do. Different strokes for different folks

Not everyone wants to race

Then use a Cavalier, not an RX-7.
They don't have a passion for cars, they have a passion for customizing. There's a HUGE difference. People with "PASSION" would have that thing on the track racing the way Mazda intended. I would be like taking Jessica Alba, putting her in some crazy queens dress, overload her with makeup (tacky makeup at that), and then sitting her on a shelf where she isn't appreciated.
This car is just like that DORK with the Mustang with Japanese writing who thinks his car is a "...turbo, rotary, with headers and nitrous..."

that thing must POUND!!!

and i agree ditch the large rx7 decals but leave the sweet rotor decals --

i would much rather cruise around in that than some kind of beefy SUV - its still ******* fast even if it is a home theater on wheels

I hope, for all sincerity's sake, that you aren't talking to me.
If you aren't, then sorry.

I saw this car at the 2005 NOPI Show in ATL... It just needs a little TLC (someone to take out the extra crap). I talked to the owner at the time and he said that he retired it from SCCA racing a couple years before he did all the fiberglass, carbon fiber, and suede work.

looks to me that he finished his engine work and used his bad taste to make it different than most 7's on the road. I almost couldn't tell it was an RX7. Thank God for the decal on the side.

dude, everyone can do with their cars whatever they want, thats why it's THEIR CAR!!!. if you like to race then make it a race car, if you want to do auto show then do it and so on. i rather have a rx7 for auto show than a cavalier you can be sure about that.

Seriously, I've seen worse. Take away the graphics, the weird carpet interior, the death star Ion cannon looking stereo mess in the back, and the complete video monitoring system, and that car isn't really that bad.
I hope it went to a good owner to help it though.....and it doesn't end up around a tree.
