Anyone even seen this car?
I was going through some of the FB pictures on my computer and I came across these. I sadly don't remember the source that I got them from originally, but was wondering if anyone else knew anything about this car.

Looks like a mariah hatch. Maybe a IMSA front bumper. Wantabe wheels. What looks like 280Z flares. No clue on the spoiler.

It's a damn fine automobile.

Never seen it before, but looks pretty good. Not a huge fan of the hatch, or that whale tail (prefer the old school style), but still a very nice car...

the Mariah hatch actually looks a lot better without the side louvers.

I like the side mirrors... they look really streamlined and remind me a lot of those WRC-style mirrors I always see on Evos and Imprezas. It's kinda weird seeing a mariah-style hatch without the louvers tho... but overall sweet car.

But check out www.erc-rotary.com. Its a japanese site, but they've got some cool stuff for 1st gen 7s...

It's japanese, which pretty much explains itself. They have stuff for our cars over there we couldn't dream of

Man I wish I had that front bumper, I thought it was the IMSA as well but it doesn't look to be 3 piece.

*ahem* as i said, check out erc-rotary.com. They've got the bumper under the aero parts section, 63,000 yen

http://www.erc-rotary.com/parts-aero/aero-sa22c.htm

but yeah, it may only be available in japan, but I have known some japanese companies that are willing to ship to the US, you usually just haveto pay more and be able to speak japanese in order to make the necessary arrangements. and shipping is not cheap. But like with most things, if you have the money, you can usually do anything...

That's about $674.00 USD plus shipping and whatever else happens.. not worth it.

I would wash your car every weekend... especially with new paint! Has it been long enough to wax it?


PS I got a guy local who is interested in getting a short shifter. Not a member of the forum though. Keep ya updated
