no offense, but do you even own a FD RX-7? cause i think if you did, i'd assume you like the lines of a FD better then the lines of a S2000. the above picture is pretty much the FD sans a roof, thats why i wouldnt mind owning it. i think the S2000 is one of the best looking convertibles in production (minus the supercars), so you shouldnt be offended if you own one. but that's just my opinion. either way, it was a funny and creative post.

 

How sure are you? I'm pretty sure that's a FC.

 

 

No ****! I didn't know you could pay to keep the plates. I wish I had done that then. So were you on Foster? I was on Kadena. Lucky you though, shipping a car back, haha. I didn't even feel like going through the mess, so I never bought a car to hook up over there. Looks good though.

 

goddeeeammmnn...no doorpanels for weight reduction

 

I was on Hansen 9thEngineers shipping the car back was simple but only because of the cars age.I have an FD over in Iwakuni Im trying to import now but unlike alot of people im doing it completely legally so its gonna take a while.

 

hahah, no i don't own either. like i said, im poor. but i love both the FD and the s2000.

you're absolutely right though... i think a soft top convertible s2000 looks pretty shitty (with top up)

i think hardtop, though, one of the best looking cars ever. especially witha mugen hardtop, or one of the newer mooncraft ones,, very pricey though.

but yeah, that is a pretty sick vert FD. just was responding cuz i love s2000s. not trying to start a flame war. hahah.

 

i frigging like it.. really works with the lines of the 7... yeah sure its not a purebread but i still think its sweet.. i'de drive it.. and then garage it for 98% of the year....


Prôdigy

 

I kinda like the vert too. To me it looks vaguely Jaguarish in that picture. Gotta do something about those door handles though.

 

it's funny that you say that, cause something about it reminded me of a Jaguar, as well. i cant figure out exactly what it is?

JDM Night.Life- dont worry about it, its all in good fun. I love the S2000, but i love the RX-7 a lot more. if i owned an S2k, id throw a hard top on it immediatly, which would destroy the idea of owning a convertible, but thats how it looks the best.

 

So you're here, the FD is still there, and you're still working on it? Haha. That's awesome. So I guess you have someone to take care of the legwork over there huh? I thought I'd have to be finished with all that before I left the island...now it's all becoming clear. Well if I ever make it back over there... That FD wouldn't happen to be a Spirit R would it? Haha.

 

 

that car has to be from newzeland or austrailia or something because i know the love there huge *** wheels over there.

 

here is one that I think looks good but I think the paintjob is way to rice

 

Wow, that F50 conversion is hilarious!

 

f50 i agree is funny, but one has to appreciate the amount of body work to transform that fd.

 

i think that RX-F50 has a Subaru Pleides knock off sticker on the rear window as well.
The RX-7 should never be the "Poor Man's Ferrari." that's just too degrading. The Ferrari's like the Rich Man's RX-7. you know, minus the carbon fiber, paddle shifting, and whatnot.

 

Its a 1994 model , Im in the U,S I got one of my japanese women taking care of it they are "very faithful" and I am going to have a freind who has been there three years import it for me once crash test results are finalized.

 

edit.

 

I've actually ridden in this car, and I can tell you that in person, it looks great.

It does, however, ride like a banana... no chassis rigidity.

Agreed.

Oh I was thinking you only had to get it crash tested if it was a series 6 or up, because they never made it to our shores. Damn, that sucks. Funny you mention that though, there were some guys in this forum talking about getting the money together to get a Jspec FD crash tested so we could start bringing them over legally. I'm sure if you got up with those people we could pool the money together as a club and you wouldn't have to come out of pocket for all of it yourself. I'll see if I can find the thread. And I agree, Japanese women are great. My friend Miwa got some RX-7 Zippo lighters and some other memorabilia for me, and my USD/Yen calculations failed me because I thought the lighters were about $9 a piece, and in fact they were $90, haha, and I got 5 of them so she basically sent me $500 worth of stuff and when I realized I messed up she was like "well don't worry about paying me back". ???, hell no, I'm paying her back, that just wouldn't be right. But I see where you're coming from, they're great people.

 

******* sweet. lets see whats under the hood lol.

 

this is one fucked up car man. **** that thing is ugly damn.

 

lol i got it wrong, this is the one that looks like crap.

 

Something new....
