I saw this last time it was on and missed what it actually sold or didn\'t sell for as it turns out. Looks like a nice clean example from the pic\'s. Im tempted to stick a bid on it but I hardly drive the FC anymore so I don\'t think the missus would be happy if I turned up with this too!

I was thinking this the other day, a side thought from my renesis FC dreaming. A renesis FB would be epic coolness with an elford turbo bodykit on it, would probably get decent mpg out of it too due to its weight!

13B or 12A PP would only suit an FB.

I don\'t see why a renesis wouldn\'t suit, still a 13b really! Plus most FB\'s are n/a so suits pretty well IMO.

Looks tidy enough - if it is as good in the rear suspension and sill areas it will probably be a bargain for someone.

Why would you put the worst rotary engine in existence in the best generation RX7? Take a ride in a boosted FB and see if your opinion is still the same.

Most Fb\'s aren\'t boosted though to be fair, it was just a passing though don\'t worry :Giggle

Like I said, 12A PP would be great.

Don\'t forget Ben that in the uk we had the pleasure of having the elford turbo FB. I had an engine which I saved from a scrapper. Had I known that it had a bodykit too I would have saved that too.

If this car doesn\'t sell I will keep an eye on it and maybe find some cash and a place to store it.

I know i like the FB, i\'ve nothing agianst them. I was just saying that a renesis in one would be quite practical, i also know about the elford turbo and i like it muchly. :)
