Is the point of a wide body just so you can get wider tires under the car? I know it's a dumb question but I just never understood them

Yeah I know, but I haven't found any of the Mariah type...not even any knockoffs. The only parts that I want are the rocker panels, quarter panels and fenders. I just like the way it has that scoop at the lower back of the door. It makes having a wide body kit look 10x better.

widebody kits are so you can get some decent meaty tires on your HIGH HP CAR......with that said most people get widebody kits for looks (which is why they mold them to the car). why do you want a widebody? looks or are you actually pushing enough HP to require WIDE tires which in turn requires the body to be widened?? I doubt you actually have any perforance upgrades to warrant it....therefore you= ricer

Thats the only reason I wanted one, but I just wanted the quarter panels. When I have some extra money all I'm gonna buy are the qp's.

i agree, I hate the front end and the wing.


go to www.wrongmotor.com


I hate V8 FC/FD swaps but it's your car and regardless of how stupid i think it is i know, for a fact, that it will be stupid fast.......but it just won't sound right.....and in some cases HANDLE well.

Um, it's called "RX-7" Club. Not "Rotary engine club" There's even a "other engine conversion" section on this site. So I would think it's not a "rotary engine specific site." I prefer to keep the seven a rotary, but I'd rather have a V8 seven than some shitty Camero.

How do you order from Mariah by the way? I don't see a checkout or anything. I was curious how much their shipping would cost.

realize guys when you put a wide body kit on any car there are many more cost than just the kit. Allocate $3-6K additional for paint and installation labor/prep. Adding it up you could almost buy an FD.

Unless you are pushing 300hp+ custom rims/tires within the stock body lines should be plenty.

Personally I like the TriPoint Engineering kit the best. It follows the stock FC body lines and is about $1K for all 4 corners (don't forget shipping cost). 275+ up front and 335's out back. Mmmmmmmm

don't V8 an RX-7... you'll mess up the sound like RX7racer said

gnrx7, so TriPoint still sells their kits? I know they don't have them on their website, so I wasn't sure. I might take my AIT fenders off teh front and get some TriPoints instead to cover the 255s I have up there.
