I love RX7s but I think this one is lame.... looks nice at first, but the wide body kit is gay, and the motor looks like poop to.... if your not going to rock the rotary engine, then only other choice is an LS series!!

as much as i think the rb25 is a great motor, it can stay in the skyline... that being said, i've gotta agree with these guys.. LS motor if you're going to stray away from the rotary.

I have a 1995 RX-7 myself, and i really enjoy the rotary engine...

I respect the LS swap, but all RX-7's should be kept rotary! =)

Wow. That thing is unbelievably clean looking... the Mk.III RX-7 has always been one of my favorite cars.

Gimme that one, i'll sell off the RB to a drooling Silvia/240Z owner and swap in a proper engine from a wrecked C6Z06.

RX-7 + LS7 is a natural combination, don't you think?

I have long been a fan of that Rex. While I like the RB better than the stock rotary, I would love to see an LS7 in there fo sho! Sick ride!

Wow. Buncha GM nuthuggers in here. I love the GenIII/IV motors as much as the next guy. Hell I have one. But the RB25 is still a damned good motor, and to be honest, I've seen so many LSxFD swaps that when I see another one I just think "figures."

That car is awesome as it sits.
