Ok - ignoring the frogeyes and the waste of the boot (wtf is that telly there for?), I quite like it... although I admit i\'ve probably no taste :D

specifically, it looks (from the photos) like they have done a nice job with fitting the bodykit, and the paintjob, whilst a bit tasteless, looks well executed.  I\'m not sure the white+cream interior goes with the red+orange exterior, but again the quality looks pretty good.

think i\'ll join the no taste club with regards to the tele.. was considering either a big tele in the back window else maybe 4 or  7" jobs running along the bottom of the rear window so other ppl stuck in traff can watch wot im watching lol

I know I\'m maybe a bit pikey (thank you, thank you:Giggle), but I don\'t even have a 32inch telly in my house. If I did have one, the first place I\'d think of putting it wouldn\'t be the boot of the car! wtf?

Nice one, dude! No way back, now, two wheels better! Get a nice sensible ZX10R on 0% finance, that way you\'ll still have money for the REX!

I\'m a bit mixed on this care. Have seen it up close as the fit and finish on every thing did look good (was a while back now though), but i really dont like the lights and the pimp my ride paint job.
A simple base colour with those wheels and it\'d look a lot better. Oh and loose the TV too :)

Well, having plaid the game, the car does feature fairly prominently on various loading screens etc.  Having finished it yet, so no idea if you end up racing against it etc, but as a marketting / promotional wotnot it probably made sense...

And the paintjob is fairly typical of the cars in the game - if anything, it\'s on the tasteful end of range :/

still - compared to the usual Red/Black/Silver/Yellow rexs that you normally see*, it\'s nice to have the odd one done in a funky paint job...

*if you see one at all, that is

1) how can you not like Kwaks, man! Have you no soul!? and 2) only mentioned it cos it\'s the first bike I could think of with 0% finance off the top of me head! SVs very good and dependable, but keep an eye on the finish, especially the fasteners if you ride it in winter, otherwise it\'ll dissolve in front of your eyes! R6 hardcore, excellent handling, 17000 rpm redline, not a relaxing commuter bike! Whatever, I bet you\'ll love it, and having seen (and heard) the FC, I don\'t think being too hardcore\'ll be a problem! Congrats, though dude, it ain\'t easy passing Direct first time!

As to the Fast Car FD, well, yeah it is different, but maybe people don\'t usually do cars that are \'that\' different for a good reason. Not only is it horribly inppropriate to the design brief of the car (ie to be the lightest, best handling, best weight distributed sports car that Mazda could make) but it also looks right pony!

Remember when this was advetised in the magazine, at the time I thought it was totally different and maybe thats the problem, its just too different for most people on here. I dont like it, maybe just even losing those Ebay lights might just do the trick, I dont know. I am all for change, being different and being unique but this one I would not even bid for unless it goes for stupid money.  You know I was at Tescos today selling this Richard Burns Rally to the public and a old school fiesta went by in a poorly fitting and still primered bodykit.  I had to laugh as it was just so laughable but then the Chief Marshal for MSA events (Norfolk) who I was with simply said...."Thats probably his pride and joy" ...... made me think a bit.  So I guess each to their own, it will pleasure some, be cringeful for others but its still a rotary, still a rx7 underneath all that make up,so unfortunately we have to accept it for what it is.  Somewhere, somehow, people will love it and it will be someones pride and joy.  Hopefully not in my garage.

Hey guys.
My friend Michael bought this car from the guy who won it in the magazine.
Would anyone happen to know who rebuild the motor and especially the turbos.
Primary turbine wheel broke off, oil all over.

Im no fan of it either, but the paintjob and bodykit fitting looks like a job well done.
Audio install looks like its been done in a hurry.

DOH looks like a compressor nut came loose.
