My Spirit R Type A Driving Experience
Now that I have your attention...
Just returned from my vacation in Japan yesterday. While in Japan, I stopped by Maker's RX-7 in Hiroshima to see what they had in stock. Low and behold, they had #298 of 1500 for sale. Asking price: about $27,700 http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...%20A/price.jpg Here are some more pics of the car: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...A/vinplate.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...%20A/seat2.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...e%20A/seat.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...0A/intpass.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...20A/gauges.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...e%20A/dash.jpg I sat in the car and I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable the seats were. Man, I was drooling all over the car and my wife thought I was such an idiot blabbering to the guy walking me around. Turns out that I missed seeing Maker's Race car by one night. The car featured on this website. I really would have been in heaven... http://www.makers-7.co.jp/ I did NOT get to drive the above pictured Spirit R but I did get to drive this one: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...0A/ChoroQ2.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...0A/ChoroQ3.jpg It is a Choro Q (small remote controlled car that is about 2 inches long). Not quite the real deal but as close as I could get... |
Sweet lord...
|
$27,000, thats it? wow
|
If those were available in the U.S., I would *gladly* shell out $30k for one.......:drool1:
|
I wanna move to Japan now :D Everything about that R is beautiful.
|
Might just have to make a road trip down there when I get back to Misawa.
|
^^^^
That would be a good idea, as the price was suppose to go down right after the new year... If only I still lived there! |
that thing looks badass

Beautiful car, if you want to shell out the money heh i can add it to my container shipment next year :-D Just would have to strip it down before shipment then you can reassemble it. I am brining back a bunch of rotary goodies from here in J-Land.
|
That just inspired me to invest in some interior upgrades. Thanks!
|
I would buy it take it apart and put every single piece of it on a U.S. shell painted to match.
I might look into this in the near future. |
damn that's nice!
|
thats awesome!!! I always stare at the pictures in the RX-7 coffee table book of them. It's mind boggling to think you could have a FD that is only 4 years old!!
|
you lucky dog you ;)
|
bring me back any goodies this time??? you can pm me that one...lol
|
i know my sevens, but not the r's...besides the interior and ext..does the motor have any more hp??
|
Have fun trying to import it.
|
Jealous....
|
why mirabile?? ypu got a sick ass car..
|
especially if jim did your motor?
|
just found a spirit R on auctions yahoo japan for around 17K :-D I am trying to talk my friend into buying it.
|
charlie you should have had your girl take a picture of you in the car, nice pics and damm those seats are nice!
|
I am happy they don't sell them here,because someone would put a Ls1 in it,yuck.
LOL. |
