That is gonna be some car when its done !!!!

Me likes... I wonder how much that thing will cost... =D

[Grant Monkhouse]

Too much. Looks like a fancy hydraulics setup in the back there. The pictures on the first page definately was a rayvern hydraulics setup as I can remember them being on a car in max power ages ago.

I don\'t really like to see hydraulics in an rx7 but it\'s certainly different and the owner must have more money than he needs as I\'m prety certain those carbon doors from Sri on are £900 each! That\'s just for the outer skin, god knows how much the carbon door cards are?!

Hopefully they won\'t put 20" rims on it and destroy the look of that bodykit he has acquired.

the wheels are on it grant 13.5x18" wheels...

[marco]

arent the door cards for LHD?

Wow - i see he states on the first page that up until that point he has spent 23k on dragons work alone
 
Then comes 7k\'s worth of hydraulic bits, aragosta\'s, digi dash, base car cost etc.
 
Thats gunna end up being a £50k rx7
 
I wish i had both the money & the mental strength to do that.
 
I know that little voice in the back of my head would be telling me i could of bought a 911 turbo, ferrari 355, corvette, tvr sagaris, ultima gtr etc & hence wouldn\'t allow me to do it even if i did have the money - and i don\'t :p
 
Awesome car though & truly unique - is really nice to see one being done so well

[m1tch]

Hmmmm....thats all I want to say on the matter

[787b]

omg, :Thumbs-up

[Panjy]

Just re read the post and saw in his sig he has owned several exotics (lambo\'s etc) already.
 
Guess he just fancied something different & had the balls to do it - fair do\'s
 
Does anyone know what the deal is with the boot mounted suspension?

[Grant Monkhouse]

I think it is still a hydraulics system on the car. That\'s why it has hard line running out from it.

[a.tapos]

the fuel rail hidden under the manifold looks good,very nice craftsmenship
think the money he is spending is massive but good luck to him he obviously works hard(or has a dirty great inheritance ...)

[Speedworks]

I\'m still not getting the suspension thing in the car and the Aragosta suspension combo...

[gonzoninja]

to be honest I don\'t get a lot of it. He seems to have an awful lot of spare cash, but hey if that\'s how he wants to spend it, it\'s up to him.

not sure about the F40 turbos though...they must be 20 years old...seriously there is nothing better now?! What about one of those variable-vane turbos out of the 911 turbo...or am I being silly?

[re japi]

Ya, i was wondering the same thing. There must be better turbos...?
