Very nice. The colors look a bit odd but the paint is not bad. If anything I would do it try to match up the paint with the interior better.

This is not a Mariah widebody kit. Back in the day there was a company that was bigger than Mariah as far as body kits go. That company also did a few variations on the 1st gen verts, which they created. Mazda never made the 1st gen as a convertable, so any out there are conversions done by Pacific, or other smaller companies or home made so to speak.

Very nice car though. Excellent example of 80's styling at its best. Whats this car got for an engine in it. If I'm not mistaken they also offered a turbo kit as an option. I could be wrong though.

Very nice, you are lucky, those cars are extremely rare.

Now if you just LOSE THE CAPS in all your posts, people will stop thinking you are immature and just trying to draw attention to yourself. We already like you, that's a given, but what we really care about is your car.

Like How About Some More Pictures And Details? How Did It Come Into Your Hands? If You Bought It, If So, How Much?

Thanks for sharing!

Ray

Hey! Break it up, fellas, break it up.

...Sorry folks, but that's a bit too much fun for this section.
It'll have to be moved. You folks run along, now.

Next time you boys keep your fun where it belongs, got it?

I like the red one posted up, the other one is a bit too gawdy for me. I am not a fan of anything in a convertible really, but the car does seem to be put together well. That body kit, though very in your face, would look pretty good on a coupe!

Just goes to show you that there is "something" for everyone's taste in the rotary world. Me personally? I don't care much for it. The reason I own an RX-7 is that the original "one of a kind" body style with it's 50%-50% weight to power ratio has "always" appealed to me. Great handling and classic style that still looks fresh today. I can honestly say I never get tired of looking at it (or driving it). Just one mans opinion

corvette? i think so. perfect example of how the RX-7 body style is not "one of a kind" at all.

The C4 is perhaps my least favorite vette in terms of quality and asthetics, but they sure do feel cool when your behind the wheel with the targa out!
