It was made from 2 TOTALLED rx7's. Not ruined. Maybe not your taste (Or mine for that matter) but better than 2 scrapped FD's.

How about this, keep the curve of the back of the main door, and flip it to make it symetrical (sp). IE suicide doors. That might even out the look a bit. The window shape looks good already.

Put a LS1. It probably needs the torque.

in my opinion it can use like, some 19" wheels, the suicide doors, and how about racing seats alll around. and a bench seat in the very back. I think the windows should be just as any other normal limo, nothing special such as round or rotor shaped windows. Repaint it black, i dont usually see too many silver limos.

Also...how does that thing get around right hand corners, and such. Isnt it really low so the side would scrape all over a side walk.

ObliqueFD has the right idea with making the windows look the same! Now....what about incorporating some RX-8 suicide doors BEHIND the FD front door to allow access into the rear? Except style them to match the FD's curves???

I'd go with a full length window, with a door at the back. Make the door look like the front ones.

EDIT: BTW, I never knew you worked for Pettit Godzilla, thats awesome!

Heres my attempt:


This one has a "A" pillar seperating the side window and the door.


This one has both windows seperated a la RX-8.

wow, thats kickass Wan! btw, the car only weighs in at.. get this.. just over 3200 lbs! Also, there has yet to be a set record for the worlds fastest limo so you could grab a guy from guiness and take this out and do 50mph and hold the record.

Thats awesome, really awesome. Too bad I don't live within a couple of hours of there, that thing would be so pimp for parties and dances and the like. Especially for rotary nerds such as myself. So light, so easy to make quick, I can't wait to see that thing in the record books. Good luck.
