Man this dude completely missed my point.
An individual is completely changing his car to make it look like another car that is actually slower. There is no cool factor.
You completely misunderstood. The Rx-7 is riddled with problems. It's a very expensive car to own. But we keep our FD's because we love them. I have owned mine for six years and it's my second one at that.
Why keep an Rx-7 that is not only ten years old and expensive to maintain, to then turn around and make it look like an Rx-8? Why not just go out and buy the Rx-8 and slap a turbo on it? It doesn't make sense it's just stupid. The cost of the FD + a good conversion + money to make the car run good and look good (if not already) = almost the $$ for an Rx-8 and without the 'old' car problems.
No I do not have any body modifications done to my ride, yet. I'm in the middle of a few purchases but they are all 99 spec Rx-7 body parts.
Edit- I'm not a fan of the Rx-8's. Just not my cup of tea.

I'm pretty sure that if you do ... you have the same parts as someone else on a different model car, wouldn't that be the same thing???
pls clarify ....

True.

wow that red one looks like a ricer drawing of a c6 vette.
the rx8 is a completely different car. the 7 with the front end looks pretty cool but it would be stupid for the FE to be based on or look close to the 8.
