First off, great work scott considering what the car came from. The interior looks way better without the cage and **** in it. The exterior is very well done.
Second, i own his old black car, and good work on that one too. All i need is black carpet and the interior is done.

I am not sure what "building" really entails, could you enlighten me some....I have done everything from wiring up full stand alones, pulling motors, installing motors, changing tubo setups, exhaust systems, polishing, running all fuel system related parts, sumping tanks, working AN line, changing clutches, rerouting all vacuum hoses, removing accessories, modifying exteriors, tuning suspensions, installing all suspension related parts, etc....

Now maybe I don't build my motors, because, well, I like to have others build the motors to make sure it is done right, and I also don't paint my own cars....I have a paint man paint my cars...but if you could please let me know what is involved in "building" an RX7 so I can get right on that. Sorry, I am not one of the RX7 people that love to leave them looking stock, sure they look good stock, I just prefer a different look.

I assume you are referencing to this car as the tasteless body kitted car, which i s fine, believe what you want to believe. Or maybe it was my last FD that your friend bought from me....here's a pic of that one, maybe it was the tasteless one you are referring to, I dunno.

the photography is just fantastic. Are they friends, or did you have to pay for those shoots? It's just amazing what a talented guy can do with a camera, isn't it? For the rest of us, we just take pictures. These guys create art.

That car, in it's former iteration, could well be one of the most tasteless 3rd gens ever. Maybe we should do a poll on the worst 3rd gen...it'd be fun.

Really nice car.

I agree with the positive comments about the car and the skills of the photographers. The pics you posted are better than most I see in the car magazines.

He must have gotten his **** together. I've worked on his T-78 FD that had the abflug front bumper, and a lot of things were hacked on it.

man, i cant believe you sold those wheels for that turbo...what wheels are you going to run now?

and how much did you drop on the single conversion.

i think your brother was over pricing it, i think b/c he saw chris arrow's silver FD and me coming out of it...lol.

nice car. but you might want to find right side wheels for the front.

I think FEED recomand use 17x9-9.5 with 20 offset.

mabe you can use wheel spacer to do the job?

Good pictures. Get rid of the scoot hood though - has absolutely no resemblence to the original lines of the car.
