My car finally arrived from Japan

Hey Guys, I have been on the forum since the beginning of the year and have chatted to many of you but Im finally an official member of the club.

After owning 1 wrx and 3 STIs I got a little bored of the scooby scene and decided to sell my last one in search of my ultimate project car.

I bought a 94 Rex from Japan and it finally arrived, I know how much everyone loves pics so here they are with some of the mods I have, Still missing some pieces but they are on their way from Japan now.

It needs a little work and the motor is pretty stock but I cant wait to get cracking on it

Here are the pics from before it left Japan:

Yes I know the tails are terrible, so I got a set of 99 tails to replace them. More landed pics to follow.

You can't help but notice how much more sleeker and sensual looking the RX-7 is when parked next to that Z.

Yes, sensual. Do you know what the word means? Among its definitions are
voluptuous, and pleasing to the senses. Doesn't the FD please your sense of sight? If not, you're probably on the wrong forum.

I see you have OEM taillights... replace them immediately, and throw those clear ones in a fire.

Looks awesome! Congrats!

don't worry, you'll never run out of things to learn or things to buy about an FD. They're never "completed" projects. And those taillights are absolutely heinous.
