Default painted my friends rx-7

what ya'll think. just painted it a little over a month ago. did all the body work, installed fiber glass fenders, body kit, shaved key hole of hatch, shaved emblems, shaved rear center brake light below key hole, and removed factor spoiler and welded holes. all holes were welded shut. none of that fiberglass body filler and screen ****.

i think you have to get used to it. from what i was told those mirrors are really expensive and hard to get. can only get in japan. my friend has a connection there because he lived there for several years.

in case your wondering about the motor. it's a cosmo 2 rotor from japan. only found in a cosmo which has not been brought to the US. motor was fully built from scratch. hasn't been dyno'd yet but he's expecting 500 to the wheels.

i rode in it once and it really pulls hard. it still has to be tuned on the dyno though. were putting new brake calipers, rotors, lines, rims, and coilovers this month. a **** load of money is going into this car. i thinks the coilovers alone was over 2gs.
