like said above... many people around here are clueless about the rx-7, specifically the FC... FD's do stand out though. I've only seen another FC on the road just regular driving once... they are getting rarer and rarer esp in good condition.



I would not call mine a sleeper yet... all my $ is going into the suspension, diff, brakes ect this season... I'll be swapping it next season.

I was hoping people would post pics of cars that are mechanically 100% but maybe have some comsmetic issues to deal with. Ideally it would look stock from the outside but when you popped the hood or drove it you would realize that it is not nearly a stock car.

I do have a set of TII rims are going to be painted black, they should looks a bit stealthier than the sportmax. My car is a legit TII though, no swap here. I spent all the time and money on the engine/ems/turbo, drivetrain, suspension and brakes before even thinking of doing something cosmetic, eventually I got the rims....

Jrat or gxl90rx7 are probably some of the best sleeperish 7s.

My I drove my rx for a couple months before i got it painted. My car was like 4 different colors.





People would glance at my car and think "What a piece of sh**".

But then stare at me as I'm flying by them or when they notice i'm driving on the right hand side. I loved it.

I've only ever seen a couple of FCs in my area. The last time I saw one was probably last spring.

Jrat, i didn't know you had that hood man, I like it. Even still most people would probably not expect your car to have 554rwhp...

^^^^ I disagree... you are always attacking people. I think those X s are a little flashy, but still tastefully done. He was just going for a different style is all.

sleeper is not a stock car, sleeper means that it LOOKS stock or crappy, but runs like a bat out of hell, you suprise people- in other words your car is a sleeper.
