that car is in MO, no way they used that for a movie. the cars may be ricey, but they dont look like junk.. This guy has poor taste.

It must have been one of the mexican bad guy cars lmao. unless they used it as a camera chase car.

Regarding the 4 cylinder.. you would be surprised.. there is an FC in Riverside that has a Miata motor. lol

You sure he's on this forum? Maybe he's a rotor hater and posted that on ebay as a prank. And he knew one of us would find and see it and knew it was going to annoy and spark a fire amongst us. Just trying to reason this out. I doubt he's that dumb.

Yes a 4 cylinder in an FC is not that uncommon. I have personally seen a Ford 2.3, Nissan SR20DET, KA24DE turbo, Mitsu 4G63 & Mazda BP swap. This fool shows a pic of a NA rotary, but then writes 4 cylinder after.

hey that car was in the movie.

the original opening scene where the s2000's are running across the desert was planned for 3 fc's but when the owner of bulletproof automotive cryed like a bitch when vin diesel threw an actor and cracked his carbon hood, they replaced the fc's with s2000's, like a little commercial to " promote bulletproof auto" they make alot of honda parts. guess it worked for him but the fc's were never finished hence the abortion you see for sale. they all had re-a bodykits and bullshit widebodys.

No kidding. The only Mazda thing they sell are body kits for 3rd Gens.

Its something about a Lotus (not the car I assume). Theres a thread on his car from the movie, and he posted up saying it was his, so a simple search should help.

Edit: I think he changed his username.

yawn...wont glorify hollywood. pass

the hood could be of poor manufacturing, or the frame or panels are out of shape. or it could be you looking at it the wrong angle lenses, cuz when they take pictures with their hi-def canon cameras it looks sparkly and awesome.

The cars in that desert scene all looked like ****, and there was an FC there so this probably is the car, that said I'm suprised the bids are that high. He has listed that it has a rotary engine on the page
