Well I have been trying to obtain this car for 12 years!!!!!! Just the other
day one of my good friends, call's me to tell me that there was a wild body rx7
for sale in my town. I was like What! LOL who had this? I thought I know of
all the rx7's in my town. I got the # and called and BOOOOM It was my Unicorn!!
So I had to have it. I got it home today, had to buy two tires for the rear. Man tires
for a 10.5 low pro 15 is out of site. The wheels on it is SSR FM's
Front is 15x8.5 and the Rear is 15x10.5. The car has the Trans Atlantic Porsche Kit
on it. Well here's some pics, and more to come. Thanks

Sweet ride, are you gutting the interior and making it a full race wide body or are you restoring it as it sits?
Never mind the picture I was looking at was an Fc..... Ignore me.

Dude. That SA is going to be the end all of turbo first gens. I know you were proud of your turbo FB when you climbed over 500 rwhp, but I think we can do better than that for this special girl
