Is this kit available for purchase or is it a one off build?



I'm in love.

 

I know it's just the depth of field of this photograph, but every time i see this pic the car just looks like an RC car to me

 

that is beautiful!!

 

It looks very similar to the Mariah GTO kit.

 

That's just beautiful............Makes me feel kinda funny like when we used to climb the rope in gym class..............

 

He is correct, looks like the GTO. That car does look odd as in fake almost.

Mine is a Kent body from the early 80's, basically they are all very similiar, the one
in the picture has bigger rear flairs, probably can run 13 inch wide rims out back.

I have 12 inch wide and they are close to the limit of the rear flair, i think the kits are like 3000.00 through mariah

 

I just checked the Mariah site, you guys are right it looks like their kit but the GTU kit not the GTO kit. The front fenders dip down instead of staying wide all the way across like the GTO kit. Definitely awesome looking.

 

yeah looks like the IMSA style kit to me too. mazdacomp used to sell it, about $1600 way back when

ISC has one similar. http://iscracing.net/index.html

 

Someone posted links to a writeup about that car recently. It's the real thing and in Japan. Specs on the car humble mine.

 

Yes, GTU is correct, its a alot smaller front than the GTO and the flairs are totally different in the back. They usually dont have the large duck-bill as the GTU race cars had, most have a porsche like whale tail.

Dan S has a super nice GTO build.

 

here is the link

link confirms, it's IMSA.

 

that's the future of my car, though i'll have a mazda factory ported 16x... haha dream~~

 

I really love this car. That ISC body kit is only $1200. That aint bad. Anyone know the quality on that kit?

 

Damn!! That car makes me want to build another one

 

The ISC stuff is for race cars, to make it pretty enough for a street car will take a lot of filling and sanding. The parts are also not made thick to live a long life on the street they are built light and you just plan on crashing once in a while so you get new ones.

that fb looks great next to a viper... scary

 

most of the mazda competitive IMSA body stuff is not stocked and they don't even know if they can get more.

 

good call on the GTU. I missed the dips in the fenders.

 

that black on the FB it really seems scary

 

I believe I found this kit being made on https://www.rotaryengineeringsb.com . They have many different 1st gen rx-7 IMSA kits that all seem beautifully done.

 

The black car in the thread is my old one. Yep that looks like the kit I had.
