Title: Body Kit Question
Post by: 20vt on March 10, 2005, 06:09:04 PM
Hi all

This is my first post on this forum so I hope the picture I intend to attach actually works!!

At present my car is a 1998 Fiat Coupe 20 valve turbo.  I do love it, but will be replacing it in approx 1 years time when I finish university, hopefully with an RX7:)

I have only just started doing some research into this fabulous looking car and have found a picture from the net that I paricularly like.  In particular, I like the body kit.

I was wondering, does anyone know if this body kit has a specific name or comes from a specific company??

Many thanks in anticipation of some replies and fingers crossed that the picture works.

hello newbie, arr shux dont feel ignored the ignorant one is here to welcome you :wave
Anyway back to the ignorant thing erm dunno about the 1st one hopefully one of the bodykit experts will educate us both.....
The 2nd one looks like a standard 99 spec front bumper, possibly colour coded bottom bit, & erm again i\'ll plead ignorance on the rest although the spoiler could also be a later model standard one &/or looks similar to my TBO designs one (no longer in business) there are many which look similar thou....
I\'ll get me coat...

Hi Stu

Thanks for the reply.  I must say, that body kit is rather nice;)   I can see that when I start looking seriously for an Rx7, I\'m going to have one hell of a job; too many nice body kits to choose from.  I think I will have to be carefull not to be "wooed" too much by the way the car looks, but pay more attention to the mechanical aspects of the car.  I think I would like one that is modified but not with excessive power; 300-350bhp would be nice.  The single turbo conversions look awesume on paper, but I think I would kill myself with all that power:eek:   My 20valve turbo coupe is damned fast (modified to approx 240bhp) but it has too much turbo lag; up to approx 2500rpm its crap, then, its strap yourself in time when the turbo gets spinning!!!!  I\'ve not yet driven a Rx7 but I\'m hoping they will be much faster than my coupe:D

Hi Grinder

Thanks for your tip, but I won\'t be able to afford a Rx7 until I finish university which will be in just over a years time.  I\'ve joined the forum to gain knowledge and talk to people so that I will know what to look for when I take the plunge.

Thanks again
