Tyrannical Rex

Hi there,

I am based in the UK and i am half way through a fortune build on my highly modified Rex. I have had full air ride fitted and a few other little goodies.

Looking forward to hear from fellow Rex owners around the world

regards

Chris (Tyrannical Rex)

Wow! Thats a full on bodykit, hardly even looks like a rx7 anymore. How many hrs have gone into the bodywork so far? Looks like a mammoth task

Nice mod list! It should be a beast when back on the road. What color are you going with?

Wow, excellent list. So it goes as fast as its gonna look. What's the details on the power steering relocation? Do you have any pictures of the engine bay?

A lot of detailing to do but the hard work is done on the tuning. The colour is going to be House of Kolor Kandy Rootbeer all over. I wanted to get away from the stock black and orange etc. I have also deleted the rear wing, i prefer the lines of the car without it.

I am into this car for nearly 18 months work and still at least 3 months to go i reckon

Whilst i think of it, i do not like the door mirrors that come with the fortune kit and would like to replace them with a Ganador Aero style of mirror instead. Does anybody know of any available? It does not have to be genuine Ganador but the same style if possible.

Thanks

Chris
