Here are some links ...
http://w1.314.telia.com/~u31430971/
In swedish, but follow the namelink...

All about it is written in the translation that frode did..

Here is the videopage...
http://w1.314.telia.com/~u31430971/docs/videos.html
Download and turn up the volume!

And some pictures from the past...
http://w1.314.telia.com/~u31430971/docs/hrbljwmm.html

When I taked to Mikael and asked why they built the car he told me he wanted to see how fast a car like this could be...
As he runs in the under 2500cc class and won outright.. over all the other cars (incl the over 2500cc, 600bhp corvetts, 911's etc) they proved the point.. it is possible..

That is why the car might be for sale..

They got really good tvcoverage here so lots of people has seen the car now.. good news for the rotary!

More news on the wing. I just noticed something in the second picture Jimmy posted. What does it say on the back wall? Read it and weep, naysayers! The wing is real... or something. Mmmyessss.

Ugh. Personally, I think most of the body kits and wings for the FB are awlful.

i dont think they really had looks in mind when buidling the car, i think it was more "purpose" oriented.

on that note, if i could get a verson of this kit (minus the wing, since i wont be thowing it around at 100mph+) i would definately get it. its the cleanest looking hit ive ever seen, and probably the only kit i have actually liked on a rx7. all the widebodys, and fender flares, and air dams just dont do it for me...
