without knowing the specs and performance of the car I can\'t say. I\'m not gonna judge an FD on the stickers that are on it.

I have the same wheels as the 2003 car, the new ones are Gram Light 57S 10"s so you still have an inch more!!:D

Nice car tho, when Immamura\'s not driving it off the track !!:eek:

Sure, just never see/here it talked about a lot and it just made me wonder what perception you guys had of it. I reckon it\'s absolutely superb and a credit to what can be done with FD\'s.

Personally I\'ve been lucky enough to see it run in the flesh a few times and it sounds absolutely superb. Plus the way it is put together is very professional and you can see the time and effort that has gone into it.

Hi Lee :)

Id just like to see it in the metal and sit in it too.
If I ever won the lottery id try buying that car, or haveing an RX7 made to be the same.

Personnaly much as I love the APEXi FD I\'d rather have the RE Amemiya touge special as it\'s been built purely for the Japanese winding roads and has recieved much acclaim from famous racing drivers like Orido and Tsuchiya for it\'s total balance and handelling, it even beat a rally Scooby and a full on touge monster R34 GTR!!:cool :D  

Whats the point of power without control?! (It\'s the blue FD in my avatar by the way). Alot of RE Amemiyas customers request their car to be built just like it - and it\'s still a twin too running at 380PS!

Very interesting.

I just wish I could afford to have my car built 1/4 as good as them!!!
