Not many people have seen this one, but I have had in on the road for a while. it is a test bed for new parts etc. It also has a very experimantal street ported engine in. It has already blown twice, although that is the whole point of the car, it is the guinea pig!! Power is amazing though!

Yeah, I just have ideas of how I want certain things and then have to do them, people either love it or hate. I have got the engine out at the moment so am going to paint the engine bay black and the interiour, which is stripped in silver. And then i am going to spray the outside in graffitti. It just makes it even more satisfying, when you annialate a ferrari in a camoflage or graffittied RX7!

Looking great ross, Did you ever get some headlight vents done as you were going to be making your own?
That engine looks so nice:cool
and the black beast looks nice with the scoot bonnet suits it really well.

Just been to collect my car from Dragons, the pictures of the Matt black Rx do not do it justice in the flesh it is awesome. I was not so keen on the paint job camo, but the look of the car is WOW. Can not wait to see the new project that is sat at the back of the workshop, going to be something special me thinks!
Cheers for everything Ross see you in a 1000 miles, 400 down already.
