Yes, it is his old car.
I bought it a couple years ago and within two months of owning the car I got a lawyer and began the long process of getting some money back.

After the car sat for over a year I began to tear it down and start over. He took a beautiful one-owner FD and just destroyed it with lazy work and cheap parts.
The car is still in progress but I'm rebuilding it from the ground up and replacing or fixing everything he touched on that car. The new paint is from the 2010 GT-R.

I've gotten some great local businesses involved in rebuilding this car and making it into a SEMA quality show car; we're planning on going next year with at least 3 white cars (R34 GT-R V-Spec II, R35 GT-R 940whp, and my FD).

If you want to know more:

The pic in my sig is a photoshop of an old picture taken during the two months it ran.

Yeah I figured they were just some guys standing there. I thought it was funny they knew it was an RX-7 before it even came into the picture, but maybe that was someone else that saw it already.

That's a cool pic! Clean FD!

I think it's funny that you guys are posting pics of the hatch filled with groceries. This is what I have in my hatch 100% of the time. I'll probably forget what all is back there, but here is a brief list... (and it's not always this messy, I've just been in and out of it a lot lately)
-water injection tank and pump
-battery
-two green toolbags full of pliers of all kinds, crescent wrenches, stubby ratchet wrenches, multimeters and other electrical test equipment, suspension wrenches, scribes, etc.
-179 piece tool set (the black case)
-coveralls and gloves
-FSM
-safety glasses
-rubber mallet (for whatever reason LOL)
-tow strap
-jumper cables
-towels
-duct tape
-oil, brake fluid, PS fluid...(water is kept in the storage bins behind the seats, along with a fire extinguisher)
-funnels
-9 bags (3 grey, 3 black, and 3 tan) containing wire, solderless connectors, fuses, hoses/vacuum hoses, hose clamps, vacuum caps, vacuum connectors, spare spark plugs, zip ties, hardware of all kinds, RTV/sealants/super glue, and so much more I'm forgetting.

Overkill? ABSO-FRICKIN-LUTELY! But when I or other 7 owners get stranded, there is a much better chance we will drive away without leaving one of our cars behind. It's helped me and others numerous times. I hate having the extra weight, but to me it's well worth not having to leave my car somewhere while I go get help and worry about something happening to it.

So far, I've fixed a wiring issue on the alternator on my way to Denver, and when we were up on Mt Evans two years ago, two other FD owners were able to drive away from using what I had in the hatch. And I'm probably forgetting other times haha. Either way, if I went to the track, all but the battery and water injection stuff would get removed anyway lol.

After the lawsuit was over, I decided to change the car in every way so he cannot take credit for anything related to the car.

Only think stock on the interior will be the carpet

I'm going to the dark side for many reasons, besides the obvious reasons I'm also doing it for the extra show points.
As seen in my sig FDNena is a little heart broken about it but still excited.
