A little advise. (Widebody?)

Ok, first let me start off by saying that im the type of person that gets bored with something pretty quickly. With that being said I need to do something drastic to the Rx-7 or im probally just going to sell it.

I was thinking of going with a widebody kit of some sort. The question is which one and in your opinion is it worth it. The cash is no prolbem, im just hoping ill be pleased with it when Im all done.

Im kinda looking for that exotic wide and low look.

Watta think???

If you are doing wide body start w/ a wrecked car.

I bought my $1500 BLUE TII (rear ended and fixed before I bought it) thinking I would WB it , but just can't bring myself to even do it.

It is very easy to drop the subframes from the body w/ everything attached and bolt it up to another body.

Then sell your 1FastT2 body to someone who wants a good looking car!

Built 20B is useless w/ out widebody enabled tires.

Stock 20B is not exiting enough.

Or so I imagine.

The RE is NOT exotic looking at all. It looks just like many of the other KITS for normal cars. The only part of it that I like personally would be the way the headlights are done.

If you want my input here it is:

Mariah's Mode 6 wide body package is the most beautifuly done wide body conversion for the FC3S without a doubt. It has a refined look with none of that "aggressive" stuff like HARD lines or BOX like fenders. If it was me doing this with no restrictions on funding I would choose Mariah in half a heart beat. I would not however opt for their LARGE wing as because I don't like having take-off at high way speed

Yo,


Sell it! I want it, but can't afford it!

*grin*

And how can you get tired of a car that pulls 11.8's?! The powah! I am envious.

Wanna trade?

*grin*
