TRD MR-2



K\'S AUTO RX-7



Having owned both types of cars I know which one i\'d rather have now!.... :Thumbsup!

Still very similar from that front end shot.

Definitely a similarity alright. The Veilside kitted 2\'s look
quite like the Rex aswell.
Although I\'ve not had the chance to drive my Rex yet,
I know which I prefer already. Had 2 MR2 turbos. Fun but...........

Initial-D

I like MR2s lots of bang for your buck, but I\'d prefer the more expensive mid-engined NSX if I had the cash to buy either. FD is still my fav of the Japanese sports cars, it has that special something!
Cheers

A little off the subject but I love that wide arch kit on the FD. Anyone any ideas what make/model it is and how much I\'ll need to be saving to get one?:confused:

Its the burnout kit, Freddy had someone making copies for £1500 last summer as part of a group buy. Do a search and you\'ll find the thread.

D1 WTF

one thing that annoys me about the burnout demo as above is why they would put M3 mirrors on it

Yeh i agree, they spoil the look of the car, even if they would have kept the Std ones it would have looked better

I think a pair of ganador mirrors would of finished it off nicely.

Burn-out kit looks awsome in the pics, but in the flesh i thought it looked pretty poor.

Copies never do look as good as the originals. Wavy panels are a telltale sign and easy damage due to lack of panel thickness is another problem to be found later....

Cheapo rip offs don\'t do anyone any favours... Most Japanese specialists are wary of supplying kits to the UK as they know someone will make a copy eventually and sell their hard work as being as good as the originals... When in fact they\'re certainly not.

I have one cheapo copy part on my car. The Scoot bonnet which came from Rotaryextreme.com. Compared to an original, quality is only around 50% as good. Hadn\'t known it wasn\'t original when I bought it.... Was a bit green 5 years ago..
