Well a little while ago I went to Japan for a study abroad. While out there you know I had to hit up some 7 shops. This one was closest (Nagoya) and was called Total 7. http://www.total7.jp/ I'm sure some have heard of it and it really is everything you'd think it would be.

Basically they are a RX-7 dealer but they have a track car and some other projects. They mostly just aquire 7s, fix them up a little and sell them. Communication was hard since I knew very little Japanese and the guys knew very little English. I had to basically communicate like I was 5 years old but I wasn't there for the chit chat. All in all the owner was cool as hell and took me for a ride in one of the cars. Nothing special but it sure put a smile on my face. They even put me and my buddy up on their blog...

I will just let the pics and videos do the rest of the talking.

(ok so I can't upload the pics as attachments (too big and WAY too many) and no free picture upload site will accept the file sizes (most are ~5mb) and there are over 160. I had previously made an album on facebook with re-sized and selected pics so I'm just going to post a link to that.)

I didn't put up any pics of the store(they had a TON of rare parts) and I didn't put up a lot of the FCs but this should be enough for now

If anyone knows of a free hosting site that will accept bigger file sizes and an option for batch upload, LMK.



Also, I have a FULL walk around video that I'm editing right now where I walk by EVERY car and even inside the store. I'll get that up in a day or two because it's LONG but good.

Enjoy fellas


and here's the short spirit R vid....please excuse me...I act like a little boy in a candy shop ;-)

Thats awesome. I would love to see a real spirit R in person. I hope you realize how much I hate you.

 

Nice trip, too bad you couldn't just buy one and have it shipped back with you.....

 

Was that a 92 vert I saw when yall were pulling back in?

 

you know I meant to post something in the 2nd gen section because I know ZERO about FCs and special models and stuff but according to these guys that car was very rare. It was MINT MINT MINT condition and I have never seen another with the interior like it. Check it out:

 

I wish.....literally they had like nicely modded FDs for like 10k

 

Nice trip, your a lucky man.

 

holy **** its the infamous tan interior. I only saw one factory pic of it a while back, looks nice. So that was an automatic turbo car?

 

awesome

 

i like that convertable thats pretty sexy but not quite as much as the spirit R

 

Im sure its turbo, Japan never got NA 13B's in FC's like we did in the states.

 

yes it was

 

Its pretty. Its very pretty. I'm not a huge fan of FCs although I like them but that one is sick and clean as hell. I wish you took more pics.

 

wow that FC looks like a new car!
goooddd i want that interior, except for the auto tranny, ill pass on that
now i want tan interior

 

What kind of gauge pod is in the black spirit R?

 

Wow great trip, quite the inventory at that shop

 

I just happened upon this thread by accident; I saw a comment about Total 7 in picture comments for somebody else's Spirit R. Anyway, great thread TpCpLaYa -- thanks for sharing. It must've been an awesome experience.

 

Awesome!

That Final Version convertible looks so mint. Its rare because its 1 of 500 btw.

 

Yeah, those are the best quality photos I've ever seen of one of the rare '92 convertibles. I'm wondering if the tan glove box door and tan radio surround came like that from the factory or whether that was done by the owner. I know the tan seats were stock.

 

you ******* *******!!!!!!!!!!!

 

AbsolutelyGreat!
Do you know how to have Japanese website translate into English, so we
can read text?
Thanks,
Steven
