Something like this:

Not including the car price & considering everything needs to be swapped/replaced/

Thanks.

Somewhere between $300 and $80,000.

Seriously though, who knows. Including that god-awful fugly body kit, silly wing and other tasteless exterior modifications, they do have a single turbo 3 rotor with a 'V' mount. To do just that engine bay here in North America would cost (a guess) in the area of $25k.

80k for the whole thing would be a reasonable estimate, but it all depends how the build unfolds. You could spend 40, or 100... It's a process, once you're done you'll know how much you spent to achieve your desired results. But if you have to ask... Misterstyx has the right idea...

Yeah, I would estimate about $80K USD for the whole thing, although it would vary depending on what kind of deals you could get on the parts and how much of the work you could do yourself. Those who build their own show-quality FD RX-7s tend to spend between $40K and $200K.
