It looks like it's got a '93 dash (on the passenger side where the air bag is for later models).

So they swapped out the dash too for an older one? Yeah

True, I didn't think about that. I wish I could get a whole new (2002) LHD interior for mine. Mmmmmm.

On that car everything is 2002 expect for interior parts. Cuz no 2002 LHD parts out there. The whole idea is to get the last of the best in LHD. Would be no point doing it if leave it RHD. Cuz cannot be on the road.

Hell, there's a Montego Blue RX-7 on eBay right now that has to have the lowest miles I'v ever seen on an 11-13 year old car.

Most people don't really care for B.S.

a fake or not, this is a nice ride. Seems someone bolted Spirit R parts on a white FD- hopefully they got the engine but perhaps not given the bay shots.

Yes this guys white FD is a very sexy machine, but it's not a spirit-R and that's all people are pointing out

. He's done a pretty good job copying one but it's quite obvious it is just a clone, which is fine, but at least don't lie about it

. Looks like he spent a lot of money (can't comment on the time part) getting it to be at it's current state, appears to be worth it since he has a damn nice FD
