When it was for sale it had a balanced and blueprinted 13B Streetport with all the goodies.

look at the bumper. there are two plastic triangles for the license plate lights.

Hey "Winnipeg85GSL" - I don't know where you heard that I was getting rid of my car. I was married once and my wife passed away from Lupus in '99. I have NO intentions of getting married. In fact I would never get married again. As for my '82 conversion to '84 6-street ported 13B with .....
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER. I purchased it brand new back in October of 1981. I can still remember the entire experience. I've had offers, especially over the last couple of years but I just can't see myself parting with my "beauty".
I trust that you were talking to me "Winnipeg85GSL"??

i emailed the owner of the car when i saw the wing,,, here's what he said:
Eric,
From what I understand it's a Kaminari kit but they only sell it in Puerto
Rico. The guy that built the car can get them for you. His name is Alex,
from Lopez Racing in Miami (305) 225-1352. Ask him about his old black RX7
that he sold to Javier. Good luck. Oh, and wait until you see the front
spoiler!!

Javier

Oh, if it is a Puerto Rican Front End, it should look like this (minus the sleepy eyes)

I've got the exact same rear valience on my 85 GS. It looks nice, well i think it does. But i havn't seen those side skirts before. The kit is from selectmaz in australia, they were orginally produced in germany only, but the mold was sold to slecet maz.

Yeh, you can see the liscense plate lights as little black protrusions from the top of the rear bumper in the red Australian-spec 7 above, if I'm not mistaken.

Sorry bout the misunderstanding, but one of my friends was saying that about a white 1st gen in the city with a wide body kit. He meant you. Ah well, glad to hear you aren't selling the car.

Is that the same front end as the one in the blue RX-7 above? If so I don't really like it that much. I prefer my current spoiler to that one. I think I'm going to buy the kit and install it sometime this winter so it's ready for next Spring. I would do it all now, but I don't have a garage to keep the car in right now till I move. I'm looking for a house right now, obviously with a garage, so I'll be able to work on my 7 whenever I want. Do you guys think that car would look good in a really dark purple colour? Mine is purple right now, and I'd like to keep it that way. But if it doesn't look right, I'll go with black too.
