OMG that looks great!!!!

I need to step my game up and get stuff done! two wide body RX-7's cruising the street would be a cool sight to see.

Very nice!

Looks good man!

Wide Body
 

One of my favorite cars is the Porshe 930 slant nose. The first time I saw a 1st gen with the wide body I lost it. I couldn't believe how similar they look! My opinion! I wish you both the best. I just want to see the pics.

Fred, thanks for bringing your project out to Mazmart the other week. Its looking good and it was great to see your progress.

Holly

Nice build. Probably the widest i've seen.

sorry to bump this but thought i would share that i started an actual build thread in the 1st gen forum: https://www.rx7club.com/build-thread...oject-1004730/

thats awsome

what wide body is this?

That looks like the CP racing kit i believe. Or a replica. I have the same kit or replica. Nasty wide!! I have not installed it due to the cost of the wheels that will be needed to fill it.

Dave?

You're going wild with that wide boddy Fred.

Nothing wild...just a 5 letter with an REW. :)

i had the same wide body kit on my first five letter too. Can't remember how to spell it but it was made by Air Buni. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...08bbf78e0a.jpg

Very nice. Whatever happened to it? Did you ever finish building it?

It's a real long story. Readers Digest version..this was mine in 87-92 stock w headers and air pump delete. Sold it w 82k to and employee who drove it a couple years then parked it till 98-99. He traded it to a guy who would later work for me and he started the wide kit. He got well into it but then got a surprise divorce that left him broke. It sat in his garage till 2015 when I bought it back from him w intention to finish. My business went sour after 36 years so I took a job out of my home state Ohio and took the engine/trans and some parts for my current 5 letter off it and sold the roller with wide kit as in photo for $1200.00. I had to get out of Dodge quick and really hated to see it go. When I saw yours in the old post I relived the disappointment all over again. Just couldn't take it south with me. Had to get light. That wide body kit done right is perfect for an SE done right. BUT I still have my all original survivor five letter and some of that car is now in mine doing just fine. Yours looks great. Didn't see the final outcome yet. Is it done?https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...2a5e13fb0b.jpghttps://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...c4e9615b96.jpg

That's a beauty, I remember commenting on it.

Body is done...working on swap now...slow process. I started a new thread on the 1st gen build thread found here (may be a long read if u need some sleeping material): https://www.rx7club.com/build-thread...oject-1004730/

going there now!! And yes your "craaazy" name comes up all over the place. You're just as sick about rotaries as the rest of us. Ain't it great?!? I think your name is Fred (?).. my name is Paul. Live in lillington NC. Look forward to meeting you someday soon.

well I read a ton and finally saw that white beauty and some of the other wide body's as well. It's confirmed.. I'm really sick that I could not keep mine. But I'm still a rotary owner and that's all that matters.!! I'll switch my comments to the build thread going forward. I lived in NE Ohio all my life (60) till ending up in NC. I left a good friend back there that built this 20b. Took it to 7stock last year. Had a ride in it.. downright angry beast. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...51d5c68437.jpg

yep, it's fred. i remember you moving to savanna but that not working out which was too bad cause that's a pretty area.

and i also remember reading about ^ car on this forum...that thing is sick. would be a lifetime build for me if i ever attempted something like that. ha.

he built it in 12 months. It's an SLC chassis with corvette suspension wheels and tires as I recall. Originally designed for. V8 he is the first to put a rotary in one and certainly the first to ever put a 20b in one.
