ya, but I don't drive it because it is a show car abd it only has like, 200 miles on it, which are just miles from driving to car shows, their was a pic of it in and old issue of Sport Compact Car magazine, i will show it to you when my scanner gets fixed. I have owned it for about a year and are negotiating with different insurence companys to insure it.

2004 Skyline? I thought production was stopped on those... WTF...I know you can make a right hand car to left hand conversion...I've seen it only done on a Skyline...Guy imported it for $98,000 + tarriffs and the left hand conversion kit was pretty expensive i think about $15,000 + you have to redo emissions to pass US standards

The year... 2003
The car... Mazda RX7 Spirit R
The influence... F&F + 2F2F
The verdict.... BS.

But while you're at it, you need NOS... no make it two... the big ones. And you need them by tonight. Because your car tops out at 160km/h due to japanese speed restrictions. What's the VIN #?
