7BEAST 2014 Update

Funny to think back that when i first started this project it took less than 3 weeks to have a running 3 rotor...now 5 years later she is truly awesome.

She sounds awesome and looks pretty good...if i do say so myself. She's making about 550whp on pump gas...at some point i will get serious about tuning on race gas

Here are a few pictures. Still only 53K miles on the car...

maybe its me , but i never liked the east bear lights (or similar ) , but i get your point ,the sleek light has been done so much that it seems to be the norm and doesn`t offer any more wow factor ( i know i have them , at first it was wow ,now its " oh look cute")
but again taste is subjective .
what i want to know is how come your interior looks so damn sharp and clean , i mean the car looks just freaking new , and what gauges are those ?
again , very very sweet ride

Thanks for all the compliments...The seats were recovered about 2 years ago...maybe 100 miles The rest is all stock.

The gauges are Greddy 52 MM white/ green to match the cluster. The one Autometer gauge on the A pillar is digital tack with a shift lite on it.

As for the East Bear...i like the fact they are basically impossible to find. I may put my stock pop-ups back on in 2015.

Over the winter i will have a custom AC system put in the car...Custom meaning whatever it takes to get AC in the car

The roll cage is custom to the car. I had it custom made and welded in about 3 years ago...
