re-amemiya front end?
 
does anyone sell the front end that this car has? I think it's made by re-amemiya.

Call me crazy, but I think that image has been Photoshopped.. those vents and such just look like they're at the wrong angles. Plus, what's up with the windows? Looks like it's a computer image. Granted, I like that front end...

No I don't think that picture has been photoshopped cause heres the same body kit from either the tokyo auto show. If anyone has any info on this kit I would also like to know about it. Looks great!

Max7 11-06-01 09:18 PM

yes, thats real, awhile back someone posted on a place that sells it (Japan) If I recall it was a bit over $800 to my door. ouch

rx7passion 11-06-01 10:08 PM

i know a place that you can get the air damn for around 400$ but it takes a while to get it from japan... garage spl is there name, in seattle

gamble302 11-07-01 05:23 PM

that looks sweet, any more pics or links to sellers?

AJC13B 11-07-01 11:34 PM

Fuck the air dam, I WANT THE BONNET!!!

sickboy 11-07-01 11:55 PM

im with AJC13B. that hood would be NICE. think its functional???:D

Keaponlaffen 11-07-01 11:58 PM

That hood looks like the makers took one of those air conditioning intakes they use on the sides of buildings and welded it to the hood?! Kinda strange if ya ask me, but whatever turns your eccentric shaft ;) ...

gamble302 11-08-01 01:23 AM

the hood is the only part i dont like. yuck, those vents belong on sweet old hot rods, not rx-7's. IMO they just dont go with the look of the car

MarkPerez 11-08-01 02:45 PM

Cool front end,,,it would look better if the vents were'nt just
rivoted on the hood,tacked on,,but installed from the underside

JIMMY54 11-08-01 06:47 PM

That car looks MINT, I can't say anything more. It's looks like a car you don't mess with.

PalmcityRX-7 11-08-01 07:40 PM

I'm pretty sure that the hood vents are functional. Hoods like those are popular in Japan, I think.

Looks a bit like the RE Amemiya one for the 3rd Gen....

gamble302 11-10-01 02:08 AM

gross lookin hood scoops, might as well make up a shogun style body kit and throw on clear tail lights, altogether would add at least 30hp right?

he he was thinking that same thing

Max7 11-10-01 11:35 AM

I think I'll be cutting into my spare hood this winter, for $136 it might be worth it. if it helps get that hot radiator air out it can't hurt performance. plus I'm not about being normal, and I don't consider it rice, since it would be functional :)

gamble302 11-10-01 03:54 PM

yeah but thats 136 just for the scoop, then you add in adhesives, filler to make it look right most likely, and then some paint and youre talkin even more money, just for some pretty holes in your hood that might not even cool off the engine too much. id rather go for a tII lookin scoop and put it on a fiberglass hood from japco. i can see how it would look pretty cool though. just a matter of opinion i guess

Max7 11-10-01 04:36 PM

I got a place who does "GREAT" work for cheap. so it's not going to cost much
I thought of the T2 scoop, seen it on a few first gens, looks great.
but I want something to let heat out, not force more air in.
the Japco hood will need hood pins and i'm not sure if I'm ready for that yet.
of course we never know what will happen till we try something, and I love to try things :)

gamble302 11-10-01 05:49 PM

well as long as youve got a place. when i do it i want to do it all myself, wanna try naca ducts mainly.
i think somebody should make a car that has so many naca ducts that it looks like the dimples ona golf ball lol
