Too bad he was just another idiot who did none of his own work. Heard from alot of friends in Japan he just dropped off his car at a tuning shop. He had a nice RX7 but far from a RX7 legend in my book. Haruguchi is legend.

Turbo II FC: Just another idiot? His car was a 9 second daily driver that he picked his kid up from pre-school (baby seat) in the snow.

as far as rx-7's go he was a serious badass. yeah he didnt do a lot of his work from what i heard. but how many people can build and tune a 9 second street car? Yet drive it into the 9's and still drive it around. Eric Cheatham has as fast and powerful a car, and I don't think he's broke 9's yet. He even has a solid axle. Soul had the stock IRS and HKS drag coilovers

to be honest, i think it was a low 10 second daily driven street car, but then he did some more stuff to get into 9s, and not sure if he still daily drove it then

i have the videos on my old computer or else id put them up

whatever anyone says soul assassins car was a rotary masterpiece.

I have a few of his old vids too. Never did I see in any of those videos him run a 9. Maybe I just didnt see the ones you have. I always thought the car was badass honestly like I said before.

Holy ****, my friend owns that car now, imagine it at the complete opposite end of the spectrum. I could take some current pictures but you would be disappointed. i would not be surprised if it ended up in the junyard soon.

What the hell did your friend do to the car to ruin it so badly?
