I'm thinking about getting it but I would like to see more pics of them with better quality

94RHDFD 03-29-02 06:32 PM

go to www.re-amemiya.co.jp and look for it. Or you can see a front shot of it in the new Turbo Mag

Lost Time 03-29-02 06:33 PM

That's certainly interesting. Kinda looks like a Viper. Did you try the Amemiya website?

Lost Time 03-29-02 06:39 PM

Found it for you. Go to the RE site. Click on shopping. Then specify FD3S. Then scroll to page 8. There's a clear pic of it there. 124,000 yen. Good luck.

LT1-7 03-29-02 06:41 PM

Holy crap!!! http://www.re-amemiya.co.jp/shopping...7/photo005.jpg

That has got to be the badest rear I have seen for an FD. I'm for sure ordering mine soon



Thanks for the info 20B and lost time

black99 03-29-02 07:11 PM

Anyone else think that thing looks like a FD sticking it's butt up in the air? I actually like it though. Again what front are you getting to go with it?

JoeD 03-29-02 07:33 PM

:puke:

EDIT, correction:

:puke: :puke:

Rogue 03-29-02 07:35 PM

I'm gonna have to agree with Joe on this one.

I think that rear end totally kills the looks of the FD. disgusting.

jimlab 03-29-02 07:56 PM

Looks like a more agressive Miata with Corvette tail lights... :)

LT1-7 03-29-02 07:58 PM

I know alot of you will hate this rear but I wanted a rear that would make it look totally different from the stock FD look. I was never really a fan of the FD taillights. The only rear bumper I could find that would change the look is the C-west which BTW I have right now. Now that I found this rear and it changes the whole taillight assembly, I'm going to get it. To me, different is good. Not all people can be different though. Black99, I have a C-west front. Thinking of getting the new knightsports though

"Oh ...my ...God, ...look ...at ...her ...butt! He likes big butts and he can not lie, you other brothers must be blind. When a 7 walks in with an itty-bitty waist and a Vette rear in your face you get sprung, out of your sit to find the nearest" toilet to puke. That's nasty. HAHAHA

Hey Jim, are those corvette taillights? I guess you would know:D That's what I though but never really confirmed it

They look a little different to me....

Corvette taillights. It looks like one taillight on each side. Not a copy cat corvette but definately leaning that way. Nasty. :(

Yep, European C5 tail lights. I should know, I already have a set. :)

I thought that this rear would make a good start for something better myself. I don't like the bulges at the bottom, or the tongue depresser between the legs look of the diffuser, and the tail lights are wrong, especially the video game buttons next to the Corvette lights. It looks like a duck's ass with Corvette tail lights. :)

If it had tail lights (a pair per side like any self-respecting sports car) which were Nissan Skyline GTR style or Ferrari style, then it might look good. And if the bottom half of it was identical to the stock FD rear, then it might not look so goofy.

Sort of a cross between this...

And a stock RX-7...

Rix7 03-29-02 08:26 PM

Where's the third brake light?? Is it that little slit right above the license plate area?

stevecod 03-29-02 11:11 PM

RedTT, that RE rear bumper looks good only in the rear and in angles. if you look at it from side view it looks like the rear is sticking out too much.:puke: I was gonna get that too, but after all the pictures i gather of that bumper i changed my mind. just my 2 cents.;)

voetsek 03-30-02 01:24 AM

why not go for the whole banana? front & rear. Then you could have your car look like a porsche/thunderbird cross...

(Pic1)

voetsek 03-30-02 01:31 AM

Pic2

or just go here:

http://www.kaizousha.com/P02.asp?car=430

and stare at the pics. Admittadly a very different look from stock. You probably won't see many like it in the US if any.

i like the way it looks just b/c it is so different... but is this this right 1780000 yen = $13,414? there is no way i could see dropping 13g's on that thing

What ever floats your boat... I guess? :confused:

JoeD 03-30-02 01:19 PM

the back is just fugly. but i like the front....but NOT for an FD. for example, if a new car came out looking exactly like that from the front, i would like it. but it is not something to do to an FD. get a body kit, get a wing, get sideskirts, get anything. but please....dont get a conversion and make the FD look like something it is not.

just my .02

Damn, that thing is fugly!! I'm not going to get the whole conversion so please don't think I have that bad of taste. I just want rear. I guess we'll see how it looks on my car. BTW, it's not $13K+ it's $1500

ummm. that's a used car dealership. The $13.5k would be for the whole car...

Man that's expensive as fu*k for a used RX-7, I've seen nicer than that for half as much.

No, it is not $1500!! 1780000 is closer to $13k. But I agree that kit is damn ugly.

No, the car is $13K, the rear conversion is only $1500

eww

1FAST7 03-30-02 08:41 PM

that rear makes the rx7 look very ugly, IMO. The FD looks great stock, only minor things will make it look better, not a whole different rear bumper. It doesnt even look like an rx7 anymore.:puke:

bOkhan 03-30-02 09:47 PM

it's pretty cool i guess :(

atihun 03-31-02 01:15 AM

nevermind....not even worth the post.

A MIATA:crackup:

Ethan RX-7 03-31-02 02:16 AM

I don't know, it's a show car and is supposed to look outragous. I think it looks kinda cool, I would like to see it in a color other than pink. The non convertable doesn't look that bad either. If I was a multimillionaire and had a whole fleet of FDs I might do that to one of them... not my one and only FD though.

wptrx7 11-06-02 01:36 PM

i hate to bring this up from the dead but do guys really think this rear is all that bad? i really like it and i think i might get it.

its something i am thinking about purchasing after i part my car out.

From the pictures posted above, I think it makes the FD look like it has an identity crisis. I think you could put your money to better use somewhere else on your car.

1FooknTiteFD 11-06-02 01:55 PM

FYI, that pink RE-amemiya car has a porsche front end conversion and actually won best of show at the tokyo auto salon back in 99 or 2000 I can't remember. You can get the kit (either front or rear) from Tony at www.rxecret7.com I think he imported some of them a few months back. It could be someone on this forum???

ptrhahn 11-06-02 02:24 PM

Man thats bad news.

How can you not like the FD tailights?? There probably the best design element on the car, and one of the most elegant rear-end solutions on the road... certainly alot nicer than the C5 which looks like the body was being squeezed out like dough then chopped off w/ a meat cleaver.

Dr. WOT 11-06-02 02:24 PM

wptrx7 11-06-02 03:27 PM

i never said i didn't like the fd rear taillights, but i like the different look. and your probably right money can be spent somewhere else besides my car, but what fun would that be.

I meant spend it somewhere else ON the car :) be it wheels, performance parts, or something else.

ArchangelX 11-06-02 03:30 PM

I don't like it...it makes it look like a Porsche wanna-be..

The RX-7 has it's own pedigree..and I think it should stick with it's own looks...

Anyways..the rear end looks like a toad. :puke:

Which is why it's so nice to see almost the same design on the back of the Ford Taurus... :)

http://www.vindustries.com/taurus/PICS/Rdl00037.jpg

For a reason... the car is stable at 200+ mph directly from the factory because of its aerodynamics, which includes the meat cleaver rear bumper. Can you say the same for the RX-7?

ArchangelX 11-06-02 04:27 PM

I do believe the RX-7 had the design before the Taurus.

Ugg..there's no comparison. :puke:

wptrx7 11-06-02 06:29 PM

nope, ford taurus. and money spent on the car in anyway is always extra money spent. (get it) its a hobby, and i like the fact that people try new and radical stuff. look through the forum, you'll see sr20 motors and v8s going in. i want to keep the factory motor but just go crazy with the body work (which i think cost less, in a way.). its to eaches own, but because most people don't have it here in the states and it is different and i do like it i'm going for it after the holiday season. do what you will with your fd but i think i can freak it.

jupiter 11-06-02 07:53 PM

I've seen some of those front conversions on miatas.
They look really nice. (only if I can find my pics)
Also reminds me of Tommykara zz.

Can I borrow your V8 to find out? :-)
