That blue one is quite the intresting looking 944 errr.... I mean Rx-7.
I bet that took some time to graft into the Rx-7 body.

I was in the Satria GTi (again)
we were right behind you a few times.. your car is looking great!!

my car was at home minus its engine, clutch, exhaust, suspension and 17"rims as ive sold them.
Im reverting the car to stock and selling it and some other parts i have..

MY bad wrist just cannot cope with a 1st gen any more.

i guess after 7 years of 1st gens it might finally be time to move on to a 2nd gen

Whats up with that yellow 1st gen a couple posts up, looks like someone grafted a nissan 240sx (180sx over there?) bumper on it? Some intresting looking stuff over there

How is going to a 2nd gen going to be any better on your wrist than a 1st gen? Because of power steering?

Anyways, they all look good, thanks for posting them

yeah the yellow one has that bar that some of the guys keep posting up its a bitsa... not my thing but the owner (max) has done a grate job with it!!

yeah Aussie 1st gens never had power steering and the only RHD cars that did were about 1000 of the J-spec 12aT cars. Also im in a position where i can sell it withough loseing too much $$ too ..

I might even have to go auto.. im not sure weather to get a manual and see how i go or just go auto:-(
nothing a hi stall converter and some other mods wont make better though i guess

NO WAY! u just got that car looking fantastic! with the new rims and alll
but yeah i know what you mean, these cars arnt the greatest cars for driver comfort.. just a fun car to throw around
hope u got some big plans for the next one
yeah unfortantly.. i was thinking about it a few months back but i though i would give it time to see how i went ect..

Ive already got a Microtech MTX8L waiting for the next car... so no doubt it will be a typically Adsy super moded car..

At first I thought the yellow car had a Mercri (SP) Capri bumper on it. That kit is a little to rounded for a 1st gens lines.

just to add to that the one on max's car is from the orignial makers of the kit NOT selectspaz... apperently ( as told to me by Max) the maker (ezi glass) didn't have it copyrighted so selectmaz copied it then copyrighted it. butlook at there qualtiy!! or lack of it
