Lets be realistic; if you had the money you would have an FD....
Funny story. My dad liked my NA FC so much, he bought an FD six months later. Anyways, someday I do hope to own an FD, but I want to build something that is fast and Normally Aspirated first. Note, also, that I'm planning to get into autocross not dragging, and my car should hold up just fine for that.

Oh I have no doubt about that, but a Cf body would be insane amount of $$$$..

True, but it's definitely something to work towards!

I'm kind of interested in this also. I'm in the market for some new fenders and a new nose to go with my fc3s.org hood. If anyone has anymore info on this please bring it up. I won't be buying these right away, but in a couple of months I will. Thanks.

stock fenders weight 17lbs, stock bumper cover weighs nothing, there isnt much weight to be saved there.



even the FC3s hood is only a 4 pound saving over the stock aluminum

hood.



CF/FG 1/4 panels and roofs arent meant for street cars, they are

usually attatched to a back half'ed car tubes.

Rob I'm not looking to save wieght, eventhough it's an added bonus in this deal. What I'm really looking for are some rare body panels that can withstand hail and look really good when painted. Currently my car looks like a golfball due to some serious hail damage. I want my car to look good again and I don't want some jackass just filling it with body filler. Also the fc3s.org hood was cheaper then a stock hood even after shipping. Thanks for your opinion, but I'd rather have some cool parts.

Thanks Ronin but the Mariah kit looks too much like the MKIII supra when applied to a 2nd gen imho. Personally I'd like my 2nd gen RX7 to look like a 2nd gen RX7.

Rob I'll check out corksport. I didn't know they had fg fenders.
