You have to appreciate the amount of work thats gone into it but its not my cup of tea, total overkill. The front and rear looks terrible imo.

Saw this when it came up for-sale in Japan. MASSIVE amount of work, so much respect for that. Looks pretty demented though.
PS Rich, stop playing computer games and answer your e-mails!

It\'s a Turbo rather than Turbo II, and aside from intake and exhaust, he does not seem to have done much to the engine.  I would guess he may have added about 30bhp onto the stock 180BHP - so this is a 210BHP car.

It\'s all show and not so much go...

Sorry Prof, but must correct you on this!! It is a Series 4 Turbo II, (Europe)designated as a Savanna GT-R in Japan and Aus. The original RX7 Turbo was a one make Mazda FB turbo in the early 80s.
My Black and Blue FC was a S4 GT-R, hence the forum name.

Cheers

God thats horrible. You really get the feeling that whoever did it picked parts to graft in because of the car they came off, nevermind whether or not they would actually look any good or be an improvement

I remember seeing this for sale a while ago too.

Not my cuppa at all to be honest.

They seem to have taken very nice looking products (s2k lights front and rear) and somehow made them horrid! :(
