Yup. If you look at the top banner on this website, its the same car...


Last I heard the car was changing owners multiple times around chicago, had a tired motor and a bad ebay turbo. That was a few months ago though, maybe somebody has since fixed it up.

Search 13BRE. Its out of the eunos cosmo and is similar to the 13BREW motor that FD's use.

This is one of the best looking FCs, IMHO anyways. With exceptions I want those fenders for my own 1988 RX7 vert, and the hood would be sweet. I also plan on using the XXR 521 17 x 7 wheels.

Why is the hood scoop in the middle? Terrible. If it had an N/A hood it would be a clean car. With bigger front brakes, stock taillights and a more traditional spoiler, it would be perfect.

I love the intercooler fitment and body work though.
