Thumbs up New Rx7??

I just wanted to know if anyone is interested in the last make of the RX7? the RZ was the last of 2001 now just for a limited time and number they are selling the "SPIRIT R" its right hand drive of course. I also wanted to know if anyone is interested in andy RX7 fully tunned by RE or just stock. I can get one left hand drive and all the rest are left hand drive...

J

MY bad on the mix up on the drive side, I got to slow down on the coffee

No, we haven't had an FD available in the states since 1995. I wish we were still getting it here. I thought all J-Spec FD's were RHD since all ours are LHD.

What are you talking about left hand drive of course. I think you are a little backwards. Are you in the car or looking at the front of the car?
America = Left hand drive
Japan = Right hand drive
No suck luck with the Spirit R being sold here. We don't get any good cars. We get all the detuned crap that a normal country would not stand for. Like our bad *** Lancer, please.

Nobody will buy them here in the states because they cant be made street legal.

It would probably be easier to make street legal than a skyline. Just buy a wrecked FD over here switch vin #'s and titles.. In theory it would work and might be what soul assasin is going to do to get his street legal over here.

35k is a bit much for alot of us too. But I would love a car tuned by RE Amemiya whether it's RHD or LHD. Again only wish I could afford it. How about you just ship RE here to work on our cars?

I'd actually like them in kph. I heard there is a conversion problem and that they won't work in our cars. Any way if you can find out if that's true? If they'll work, I'd like to get a set.

If you are in Japan, I would like to get some microfiche from a dealer for the Cosmo Cars 1990-1995.

Let me know if it is possible.

Thanks
