Yup. But they are race cars. I also think that "show" FD's are pretty worthless.. Cars are for driving, not dragging around on a trailer getting every toothless hoochie in a JDM tanktop to sit their fat *** on.. But again, like an ******* I also have an opinion.

I bet you that thing has never seen the street since it's gotten that work done to it. I definitly think that it's waaaay too much. Although it is a show car and that's what people do to show cars, it completely defeats the purpose of any engine work what so ever. In my opinion, on a scale of 1-10, 4....maybe.

Jay never drives his FD. His FD is pure show only. Talked to him at a show in Houston. There would be no such thing as a minor fender bender with this FD. I personally like a balanced card, show and go. Gotta have the power to match. Thing is, he mentioned that he doesn't really miss driving his FD. All that money and time and its not even a weekend car. Dunno, I personally liked it better when it was black. What ever floats his boat I guess, not my car.

Hah!! Shouldn't you wait until I get the final tuning and dyno in? I'll send the contract over soon.

That's a really stupid looking car. I'm not hip and cool so when I say stupid I mean it in the classic sense of the word.

This is what I consider to be a sexy RX-7: I saw it at last week's autocross in Fontana, CA. Hope the owner doesn't mind me posting this up:




PS: Check out Al's website www.ShinobiBMW.com , there are tons of awesome photos there, he's got a good eye and a great camera. Anyone in SoCal who needs good pics of their car should come to a local autocross. His prices for glossy prints and/or high-res digital copies are quite reasonable.

I never really liked Jays car. Seeing it up in person is just overwhelming. He put so many damn little things in that car that it just drives you insane. Shoulda kept it stock.

And scotty, i'm gonna have to agree with you. That silver FD does look awesome. And that 7's just doin what its meant to do......race.

I agree, the interior is just gross, worthless **** everywhere, it looks like crap inside. The exterior has so much work and that body kit cost him 14K so I respect the work done there but I hate that color.

I used to be into the rice boy scene. But it breaks my heart to see a car that should have the **** driven out of it made into a car everyone just sits there and stares at. Nice car, but do it to a celica or something.
