right here she is. gave her a quick wash today. she still needs a good polish.
took her for a spin and she drives very well . just a couple of issues, slight knocking from suspension bushes and squeeky rear tail gate. the lsd kicks in strong. the car needs to be lowered on its coilovers again as it was raised to get it onto the trailor in japan.
the battery has been relocated to the boot

steven

ok mate let me know when its up for grabs as its be bday soon :D lol
Will have to pop round and have a look at this as looks very cool Shaf :Thumbsup!

Cool looking car, what\'s the thing behind the steering wheel looks like it tells you what gear your in?
Anymore details?
cheers guys
Quote from: ENVYDok mate let me know when its up for grabs as its be bday soon :D lol
no worries mate, will give you a shout as soon as its removed from the car in the next week or so
Quote from: gsb876Will have to pop round and have a look at this as looks very cool Shaf :Thumbsup!
not a problem mate, just give me a shout whenever you are free. its stored at the mates garage until i can get it registered. so can visit anytime during working hours monday-sunday
Very cool mate, I like it, especially the wide kit. :wiggle
cheers RG
Quote from: T11MNMCool looking car, what\'s the thing behind the steering wheel looks like it tells you what gear your in?
Anymore details?
yeah thats precisely what it is mate, it also tells you what options you have on gear change. up or down. never seen one before. a very nice bit of kit, but a tad useless :D
very nice indeed, love the stance :)
Fat!! I think that best decribes your FD, good to see it in black definatly the best colour for a wide beastie!
Just look out for roads with a width restriction!!! ;)
Looks awesome.
Looked great in Japan lowered. Should do again.
Have a look at this one in NZ. It is Nuts.
Chop the top... go on.
It\'s on my blog or this link

That car would look pretty cool... if there weren\'t subs and engine bits sticking out of it?

A massive amount of work gone into that thing.... Unfortunately I feel the more people do things like this the less of a vehicle the RX7 becomes. Becomes less of a drivers car and more of an expensive paper weight!

It\'s called ignorance mate, mixed in with abit of jealousy and topped off with stupidity. :King
Quote from: rextremeThis low looks good. HAHA
yes mate thats is exactly how low its going to be :D
kevin, i agree but i guess he was entitled to his opinion. maybe next time he can keep it to himself :D
new pics after my latest round of updates
new blitz nur spec exhaust (sounds nice)
double din dvd player

its absolutely chucking it down so it is filthy at the mo
simply awesome - she looks stunning - much better with the drop #;o)
Much better mate!:D
Watch those kerbs tho, or in fact small stones in thye road, lol
Chris
I think this car would look good with a super charger.
:mmmm
hahaha, you already made me drop it :p
very good photoshop though
that looks pretty good !!
Get it done, you know it mates sense ;)
Come on... do it..
You could go ford 351 or Chev 350 easy...
Joke... looks awesome!!!
Russ.
lol, ihave 2 supercharged cars at the mo. an mx5 and an rx8. none of those have that mahoooosive thing popping out of the bonnet.
rx8 should be back on the road within the next couple of weeks :D
lol, funny enough i know exactly where a chevy super charger is that size, in fact it is a little bit bigger.
Well,
the obvious question is.
Why don\'t the superghargers stick out????!!!
I love Supercharged MX5s.. Ultimate sleeper and fun for the track
haha.
that is my dream car...loving those rear quarters :Thumbsup!
now for sale on pistonheads ??!!??
yeah need some money for house purchase, but not desperate to sell. was hoping the rx8 would be back on the road by now and sell that but thats not the case :(
Love the black Rex, looks proper drifty doesn\'t it?
Squeeky Boot-
Theres some rubber stops on each side of the boot shut, near the lights. Apparently they can be altered, so that that the boot shuts down onto them tight. Was told this by Jason from Super7 the other day, hope it helps!

cheers bud, yeah it was set up to be a drifter in japan, although i dont think it made the grade :)
