I have just got my hands on a nice '79 and this time I would like to "dress it out" with some really nice body parts, but after looking around the web for the last few days, I've come to the conclusion that there aren't any availible for the 1st Gen RX-7. I am especially interested in finding wheel well flares or extentions to acommendate some fat treads! If anybody knows anybody with some or have knowledge of some really great 1st Gen sites, please let me know. Thanks.
This is my second time around for owning a RX-7, I had a '79 about 12 years ago. It holds the record for more tickets than any other car that I've owned!

the new victoria british cataloges have some decent wings west body kits for 1st gens, including a SCCA spec racing fender kit. and cpracing.ca has a 3" fender flare kit if you just want to put some wider wheels to keep it legal and they aren't too flashy.(if thats what you are going for)

 

if u want body "efx" go get a honda, these cars are performance orientated, not rice orientated

 

Thanks Final, this is what I am talking about!

 

Where do I get the catalogs? I'll check out the cpracing site in a few minutes. Thanks, from one Sgt to another!

 

bboooo to body kits!!! take the money and get your engine streetported or sumthing

 

Sgt.Stinkfist - -- -- -- --- Peee Ewwwww!!! :0)

 

When I'm done,you might change your mind! I restore muscle cars, antiques and classics which some have been in national magizines. I think I can make a head turning toy out of a '79 RX-7! Its dang near a perfect body to "create" with.

 

The "engine" will be the "surprise", I'm doing both body and drivetrain (and suspension).

 

Not cool......

 

go to victoriabritish.com, and you will have to give them youre mailing adress and then youll be put on their list to recieve a catologe seasonaly(btw the cataloges also have lots of car parts and body panels"

VB has front ends and wings for 1st gens.

I really like the stuff on the site I posted.

 

you made me cry

 

Thanks Turbo! More cool goodies!

 

I am on their list, thanks Sarge!

 

you could also try these http://impactparts.com/ , http://www.nopionline.com , http://www.a-rf.co.jp/A-RF/sa22c/body/index.html there is old thread in here that has almost all of the places to get body kits ect ect search for it.

 

I looked but I guess I over-shot that thread, thanks Kuhl!

 

Sorry, i will never change my mind as far as go before show is concerend, the sad thing is, you will build a nice car with a body kit that looks fast as hell, but in reality it will still have 100 horsepower AT THE CRANK and run 17's in the 1/4 .....

 

Bodykits have their place. Widebodies, for example, allow the installation of wider wheels and tires. Which, in turn, allow more control when high power figures are reached. It is all dependant on what you have under the hood though.

 

I will guarantee one of the fastest RX rockets you've ever seen! I gues-ta-mate maybe 350 hp.

 

how do you plan on getting 350 horsepower?, i will believe it when i see it....

 

Directfreak has that kind of power.

Why are you ragging on the guy? Let him make his plans.

 

He never said he was keeping a 12A now did he? And besides that, 350 is easily attainable even if he did keep a 12A. Most of the kits people are recommending are aerodynamically functional. Many are going to slow him some as far as outright acceleration goes, but will make him ultimately more stable at high speeds and in cornering.
I could understand whining if he said "Yo, Iz lookn 4 a 9 inch wing and some DUBs! Joo gotz sum?" But asking about genuine kits and body effects is a completely different matter.

 

350-400 hp is very common now for a rotary.
