Yeah very impressive motor and interior wise but the out side sucks. I dont know what the big deal a bout 10thans is either. I know where 3 are sitting in the same lot forsale and they all run which is the most amazing part of all.

haha, that's the problem, there are three in one place so the notion of scarcity at that lot isn't as strong.

and you guys are right, it is just a car.

honestly, i like my 88 TII over a 10AE, white with delacate black leather interior or Artic silver with near mint blue cloth interior, and almost everything else is the same, aside from the 10th AE being heavier and having a few silly options . . . i'll stick with a not quite rare TII >_>

did i mention the white TII paint flakes off?

Sorry fellas, it's just my opinion that I don't like that car. The 3 rotor is definitely nice, though. I tend to enjoy what the Mazda engineers came up with for the RX-7 in it's stock form. True, the stock 10th AE isn't going to compete with that beast; I just cherish what RX-7s are, not some dream world fantasy of what I think it should be. Yes, I am biased. I don't take my car to the track to race. I give it hell on occasion, but most of all I enjoy just driving it normally.

Before I bought my 90 TII, I was looking for a 10th AE for a very long time. The hard part wasn't exactly finding one, it was finding one that wasn't decked out for racing. I have a harder time buying something that has a huge spoiler or a body kit and expect it to run properly for very long.

It may be nice, but I don't like the way they made the car look like a supra. I like rx7s to look like rx7s. That is way to much white for me anyway.

well if you've been around long enough you'd know how much he bought the car for. if you knew ralph, hatley, not friend, we kinda have an idea about how much he spent fixing it. (engines been rebuilt, polished, single turbo, the microtech, cars been painted, and upolstered, etc etc)

we think he's loosing money @50k.

I've never seen this car in person and would bet money that at 50K he's taking a loss. ****, I *mentally* spent half that adding up the nick-nacks under the bonnet alone. And thats only what I can see!

At the same time though, he won't get his asking price. He'll get more then most any FC owner could get for theirs though

with 50 grand, i think i'd have a more attractive FC ATLEAST! maybe something like:


the only way i can see an FC sell for 50K is if Ama-san himself built it
keep in mind he bought it from mariah with the kit already on it, and the 20b already in it

wow. some of you guys are just plain $^@#%!

1. GP sports is the equivalent of the venom kits for Hondas!!! everyone and thie lesbian mothers has the GP sports kit on thier FC's!! the Mariah body kit is a RACING WIDE BODY KIT whith a lot more body parts than the GP kit and it costs ~$6K.

2. calling that thing rice is like calling you guys **** for having ugly GF's or NO GF's (same applies to My5Ababy)!!

3. Look at the MOD LIST!!!

4. HAHAHA I love to see you all talk out of your asses!!!! I think it's time for you all to post up YOUR perfect FCs!!! I'm not holding my breath though.

5. you all need to stop for a minute and re-evaluate what "RICE" really means. A true RICE hater can differentiate between a true rice-mobile and a nicely built car that does not MATCH YOUR TASTES!

Example: S4 NA, stock engine bay, widebody, spacers with wheels that are 215/45/20's , HUGE GT/3D wing, Z3 vents, TII hood, huge tachometer with shift light, LED everything, underglow lights, cheap E-bay HALO square lights, fake BOV, 4" single exhaust, LED wiper nozzles, 150lbs sound system, covered in stickers and is finished off with a HUGE BANNER with the car company on it (in case some of us with bad vision can't tell what kind of car it is). THAT^^^^^^^, MY FRIENDS, is a RICED OUT POS.

*disclaimer* I do apologize if this description matched your car. If it DOES, please kill yourself. Right now. Stop reading this and take out your anger on YOURSELF, you deserve it. Stop crying, no one can hear you over the internet.

i'm not a huge fan of mariah motorsports, and i just CAN'T believe they're aero kit sells for THAT much

maybe it's fully functional in terms of aerodynamics, but who REALLY needs aerodynamics when they drive their car on the streets....

on the track yes... on the streets... NOT REALLY

Who builds a 3 rotor and does nothing but drives it on the streets? Thats kind of a waste of money if you ask me.


The body pakage on this ar is only $1428 though, however, this car is also the one featured on their website.

Not trying to be a *****, but common.
its a good built car, maybe not worth its price tag.
but i guarantee that cars got some *****, and if it can eat your car how can you call it rice?

if it has a purpose on the car it isn't necasarly rice, and that car is a little over done, but its still a beautiful car.
