I've spotted this car multiple times in passing and saw it once in a home depot parking lot but never when I have a chance to stop. If this is your car or you know who's car it is hit me up cuz I really wanna revive the rotary scene here in the stl area.

Lots of them lol. The bodykit is barely held on thanks to a friend who said he'd install it in exchange for my body panels so he could fix his that he wrecked. I was thinking I'm going to completely remove the body, drill holes in the body where I want to mount the kit, weld flange nuts in those holes, then bolt down the bodykit. Not the smoothest look, but I can remove it when I need to do work on the rest of the car. The engine is rebuilt, ported, single gt35/40r, 850 primaries, 1600 secondaries, entire engine is ceramic coated, a'pexi gt intercooler, koyo rad, power fc, racing beat exhaust, and a jakobs ignition hooked up like **** by the previous owner and I haven't had the time to sort it out. Chassis and suspension has greddy strut tower brace, rx7.com heim joint adjustable rear trailing arms and toe rods, a six point cage to install when I have time, mazdaspeed ppf, kaaz rear end, 4.10 rear gear, advan rs 18" rims with nitto nt555 tires and a jdm trans. Exterior has a chaser aero fiberglass knockoff of a R E Amemya gt300 widebody kit with carbon fiber diffuser.



Oh, and the interior is completely gutted.
