What kit IS this exactly?

I'm getting this convertible soon, and wouldn't mind figuring out just what kit is on it.

What rear wing is that? It's coming off as soon as I take possession, that's for sure.
Anyone want a cheap Jspec rear wing for their FC? (will swap for a Haltech E6K)

There's an Rmagic sticker on the back, so I assume some component is manuifactured by them...
Also an OSGiken sticker there too, so I think it has one of their clutches in its innards.

I can't wait! Putting my MS01's on it, then getting the bits for a TT conversion ready.

I've seen it before, want to say RE front end. Very Expensive.

I like the wheels on the back. Kinda odd thier not the same as the ones on the front.

Damn! That's one sweet looking vert, even though the wing is a bit out there, along with the rims. I really like it

RE Front 'eh? eeeeeeeeexcellent.....
i think it's a "dorifto" thing in japan to have mismatched wheels....
can't say that i'm a fan of it.
even though those tri-spoked rims do look tough, they just don't grab me.
i want to put a set of mazdaspeeds on this bebbe, or a set of work meister 5spoke rims.

it has bride bucket seats, though I don't know if i'll be able to keep them as the pre-registration requirements here in Australia are fairly stringent.

R-magic? wow, the front looks alot like the RE front, Rear and sideskirts look kind like GPsports kit.

I wish the would have made turbo verts over here. That is one sweet car.

yeah, the wheels kinda suck.
i'm going to put MS01 17x9/17x8 Mazdaspeeds on it or a set of 17x10/17x9 Work Meisters if I can still get the set cheaply from a friend...

that rear wing is being taken off as soon as i get within 10ft of the car with a spanner, as well as those enkei 3 spoke rims

i think there's an aftermarket turbo on it, not sure. can anyone tell?
engine bay
interesting FMIC piping. I wouldn't have looped it back like that personally...

I'm only going to be using it on the street really, with the odd quarter mile run (when i could be bothered because i don't really care) and taking it to the track when i can. (it already has a rollbar apparently, so that saves me having to buy that!)
As soon as I get the bugs ironed out of it, I'm going to get the pieces together for my "bang for buck" TwinTurbo project, i got htat bee in my bonnet from years ago...

Sorry to say it but that thing looks like ***. And not a good ***. I hate the bumpers that eliminate the pop-up lights and just use a ugly rectangular hole and the original sealed beam bulbs... looks like garbage.

Please excuse me sir
I do not concur
The frontbar u mention
It grabs my attention
The headlights r sweet
The sideskirts look neat,
Together, this RX grabbed me as ELITE

Crap I know, but it rolled off the tongue in one go…
Sleep deprivation. What do u do….

what kind of rear wheels does it have? I like them
someone earlier in the thread said they were Enkei's...so i'd go with that.

The wing is GAY, and i hate it. Don't like the rear rims either, but the rest of the car looks horn if u ask me. I sincerely doubt the kit is a knockoff since it is in japan, and kits are a dime a dozen over there from what i see on yahoo.co.jp

off to china in 4 hours, woohoo!

Yes it is the RE front.... A detailing job and lose the wing and that thing would be sweet. Oh and some rims.
