It's sweet. The paint is really nice agree. Don't care for the headlights but they look well done at least.

what valance makes you frown? the FB has a timeless look. i remember seeing them when i was a kid and wanting an RX-7 since i can remember, it sickens me to think that most people associate an RX-7 with the FD. there would bbe no FD without the SA/FB.

no, i don't know who ownes the car. i like the color though.

I like the headlights. I would believe everything would tie in with a better set of rims.. Clean paint job though.

I love the look of the car no doubt, but I do like throwing on a kit in the front. the sides I would never and the rear perhaps. besides that its gorgeous.

I forget what the guys name is but my car was parked a couple cars down from it at rotorfest 2 years ago. The picture doesn't do it justice. especially since it doesn't show the 9 sec 1/4 it ran.

I think it is perfect. Anyone notice the rear wheel wells have been modded slightly for some extra meat underneath??

Later,
Bill

The rear view mirrors look pimp with that paint. I kinda like the burnt orange metallic.

IIRC, it was featured in an issue of rx tuner, but not surprising a lot of people didnt see it. i think he was running around 40psi of boost

Yeah that's definitely Romeo. That car looks/ sounds amazing, and like Dave said it runs mid 9s, no nitrous. I think I remember hearing he was switching to an FD though.
