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



Here are some more pics of the car:








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...

I did NOT get to drive the above pictured Spirit R but I did get to drive this one:




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.......

 

I wanna move to Japan now 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

 

i'm right there with ya...

 

+2, thanks for the pics!

 

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 *** 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.
