Heres my car. Not sure what bodykit i have but ive seen others like it and they say theres is an imsa and the last owner said it was too but he didnt know much about the car....................Anyone know?

 

gettin a bigger picture

 

here we go

 

I don't know, but it's friggen sweet!

 

OMG that is friggen sweet!! That has to be a Mariah Wide body kit! That is one of the sweetest kits you can get. Also I knotice its eaither 79-80. Also the rims a panasports, which they also sell.. Might I just ask, what did you pay for this treasure?... www.mariahmotorsports.com is the site

 

Uhmmm, i rather enjoy your avatar Mills

 

Thanks, its my first car. It will be night tides blues in a couple months...Im gonna have to drive it primer for a little while till i have the money for the paint...hah

 

2900$ about 2 months ago with everything in it. check sig.

 

Getting wheel spacers by September hopefully that will make the tires stick out about
1-3mm past the fenders

 

That is a good price. Thats such a sweet car !

 

Wow, thats was a good price with those mods. Nice car!

 

The angle that the picture was takin at makes it look kinda distorted. Ill get alot more pics when i atleast get it primered and start driving it though...........Is it an old mariah kit than? or is it something else?

 

Hey ANEX i went on the mariah website and didnt see it there. Somebodies gotta know. I really want to know.

 

Its definatly not a Mariah kit, Mariah hasnt changed their look in like 30 years. I would have to say its looking more like an IMSA kit, but that doesnt seem right either... Ive never seen a "widebody" IMSA kit.

no,, not a mariah... i haven't a clue as to who made such a kit, but i'm sure it is a 'body kit '

 

I have seen a car that had the same kit as mine and he sayed *mariah hooked him up*....hmm i really want to know

 

This is the old Dave Kent design for the Series 1. In the 80's Pacific and few other companies also offered the kit. Reproductions of the RACE kit are still being sold through MazdaSpeed Motorsport Development (MazdaComp) and Mariah Motorsports.

You most likely have one of the old Pacific street kits.

-Bern

 

Yes as Bern says, its a copy of the Kent Racing IMSA Mark I GTU body kit by Pacific. Although the package at the time was offered with a whale tail rear spoiler, yours has the wraparound lip spoiler.

 

Looks like a Mariah Mk1 GT3 kit. Go to the Mariah Sport site, Products, Exterior, 1986-92 (yeah I know that's a 1st gen, trust me), Wide Body Package/Racing/GTO II. You'll see what I mean. Sweet!

 

Deffinately looks like the mark I GT3.....COOL.

 

Does anyone know of some good websites to go to, to find sweet widebody kits?

 

its not mariah, thats not a full wide body kit, its only a half. mariah made full wide body kits. but it still looks tight.

this is a mariah kit.

 

type in "rx-7 wide body kit" on yahoo or other search engines and you'll get stuff. thers a lot of links from this website to others as well.

 

I am with bern on this one it does not look wide anuff to be one of the racing ones and the lines do not look right for it. it does look a lot like the old 5 piece street kit for the 79-80 that was sold in many shops in cali. rotary engineering also sold them in the 80s but pacific was the manufacture. they called themselfs pacific t top back then. pacifics part # for your kit was 40imsa2. the part # at rotary engineering was 6351-50-9678 the RE pic is an exact match for your car. the racing version is alot wider and the rear fenders are differant. you would need at least 10 in wide rear wheels and most likly spacers to fill the fenders. welcome to the widebody group.

 

The picture makes it look long and skinny but it looks short and fat in person.
