That is a bummer. Those seats and wheels alone are very sought after parts here in North America. Not too mention that Infinis were always more of a hot rod type RX-7 and that one is just sitting doing nothing,

rx7s are very common and cheap in Japan even FD's are about half the price they are in the states unless theyre the spirit R or some other special edition

The grass is greener, on the other side of the fence.

Take a look at this.

Converts to nearly $25,000.

They seem like throw away cars in japan
this one from an ebay auction selling the coilovers



Funny thing is those cars would have been stolen long time ago if this was in the US somewhere. or even if those cars where parked on a US base in japan.. Just different people and morals.

Some of the race tracks, have abandoned cars around the track and motors laying on the ground lol ,

Is it me, or does the scoop on the Carbon Fiber hood on that in the weeds car look much larger than normal.

Also, what is that thing mounted in the engine bay where the cruise control actuator normally is mounted?

I want that hood. I've seen where Japan locals had welded two stock TMIC's together. Perhaps that hood was made for that wider TMIC result. I want that hood.
