Red face Vin Diesels RX7

Hi all

You've probably all seen this question 100 times by now but here goes. I am based in the U.K and i am looking to re-create vin diesels rx7, pure looks alone not the NOS as well.

Any web sites, part makers etc would be much appreciated. Ive looked into a few but not many people seem to A) want to help B) provide much info to help.

If any1 can help me that would be great

thanks rob

We pretty much all hate that car for your Information.. be prepared to get flamed on here as well..

The company that makes the body kit is veilside.



Now, please rethink what you are doing.. the RX7 is such a beautiful car.. dont ruin it.

why? it would be more fun to make it your own but, if you insist, then check out a full veilside bodykit, then get a pic of the paint scheme and wheels and match it. Have fun. BTW, Vin is mighty Rainbowish , I never understood why people like that guy.

Wheels are also made by vielside. Pretty much you need the full vielside kit, wheels, wing. and i think RE headlights. And there you go.

Its his choice guys, if he wants to, then he should do it. I personally don't like the body kit but he probably does. Isn't it the C2 model from Veilside?

do you really wanna do this? if you do, i suggest buying a civic and then converting it to an rx7 and then putting the body kit and graphics on, that would save an FD...just my opinion :\

True that.

Let him spend 1,700$ on the body. 2,000$ on the wheels. 1,000$ on interior rice and nos. Them let him think why he didnt spend the money on a rebuild. Or let him relaize he sjould have used it to buy insurance caus his car is jacked.

I think half of you guys on here are full of ****. Of course that is my opinion. I personally think the fd built for fast and furious wasn't that bad at all in fact I would love to buy that car, there were actually a couple of them built for the movie, one sold a year ago on ebay minus the engine. I think a lot of people on here just hate the fast and furious movie, and say that they hate the car because it goes along with the movie, because everyone else says how gay the movie is and how gay you must be if you support such ricer things, sure the movie was phony, but I never seen anyone else support the import movement in the cinema domain other then the creators of fast and furious so I applaud them for that. It's just too bad there weren't other movies to entertain as they did.

As for the C2 veilside kit I think it is a beautiful kit in its own way, I would prefer other kits out there but, certainly don't think that this kit was horrible. If your looking for an attention getter it would certainly do the trick.
