You build the kit, it is you that builds it. One guy who had a rotary one, he autocrosses it in canada, thought it was too long and shortened it 8 inches!



who says size matters?

The yellow one is different only by the hood from the black one, from what i can tell.



Ive been talking back and forth with Factory Five for a while. They are very nice and ive seen some of their cars in person and the quality is amazing.



I've found water damaged (aka in a flood) C5 Corvette's for about $4-5k. So figure 18k for kit, 5k for vette = 23k. Then sell all the pieces from the vette i dont need and swap in a nice rotor motor.



I guess we'll have to see, maybe im just having withdrawl from not having my car with me .



Anyway whatever project i do after the T2, expect something great...and aimed at handling not drag.

shouldnt you be deciding now whether or not you want to do that? ya know, so you dont put more money into a car you want to sell.

IMHO, I think the front looks like the bastard child of a supra and a Saleen S7, and the taillights are uninspiring...get some altezzas and rock that bitch j/k

well 90% of the money is going into the engine/turbo....which would be used in whatever my project is. Only a small amoutn of money is going into the rx7 chassis...unless you count suspension as chassis i guess.



if i didnt want5 the rx7 before i had finished putting the engine in, tuning it etc, id sell it as a newly painted, FC2k frontended shell.
