Imagine cruising in a not so ordinary machine, with an engine that runs
without pistons, wrapped in a sexily curved shell. Its head runs so far in front
you can hardly see where it ends, Yes, you'll be in an RX-7. What makes
the RX-7s special is the engine. It's so silky smooth you don't realize the
limit of it. What makes the FD RX-7 special is the mean, fat and muscular yet
sexy body. You just can't deny the fact that this still is one of the best
Japanese sports cars till now.</p>


</p>


As if the original wasn't low and wide enough, Dai-Ichi injected some more
serious muscle into it. Dodge Viper's blood flows in it. The front gained
significantly more inches which incorporates huge air ducts on each side cooling
both the engine and brakes. </p>


</p>


More fat were pumped into the rear from the hip onwards, resulting in a
really lean waist and a mean butt.</p>


</p>


After producing a big, fat, low slung beast, the attention was focused on the
heart. Lots of engine work were done to stretch the limits of the rotary
powerplant. Preparing a strong base for major upgrades including a massive
<span class="postcolor">Garrett AR.84 T51 Turbo</span> slurping on a couple of
<span class="postcolor">550 c c and also a couple of 1000 c c injectors</span>. A
<span class="postcolor">Microtech LTX-12 ECU manages its diet. </span></p>


</p>


Massive power needs some policing. gauges and gauges fills up the cockpit.
Aviation style instrument gauges surrounds the pilot. Defi Link Gauges fills up
the pillar area. The pilot's secured in plush leather sports seats, he sits so
low he thinks he's sitting on the floor. Another sign of a pure bred sports car.
You've got sights. Now for some sounds. <span class="postcolor">Alpine
professional headunit supplies sound signals to the stock Bose sound system
which were further improved by a nice and big bass tube and amplifier </span>
</p>


</p>


All in all, It's a sports car with more muscle in every aspect. Then you've
got a stylish owner, Muz. Muz just oozes style. Just what Dunhill and Hugo Boss
needs. </p>
