I checked out the article on the purple 3-rotor FD in this months issue of Turbo magazine. I though it was pretty cool. One thing I really liked were the way the front fenders looked, kind of tapering off at the top, very cool. One thing I didn't like however was the fact that you could see the rivets or attaching bolts for the rear fender flares.

Oh yeah and I finally saw pictures of the hood on the Supra7, all I gotta say is

Is that the FD that had a cantilever rear suspension?

Yeah, they were talking about it on the other forum. The new owner is taking credit for all of the work. I wonder if he even knows what a cantilever suspension is? :P

I saw that magazine, and read the article, the first thing I saw is, how they did "so much work" on the engine, and dropped a 20B in it, and then I saw it makes like 394 hp, hmmm, seems like kind of a waste to me, aren't the 20B's capable of running like 600 hp easily?

Yeah, you can get 400 HP out of a 13B pretty easily.
