A few comments~

I seem to remember the RE-Amemiya car had sticky out bits on it too.

This particular RX is one of the finest tuner cars in the world and certainly more than a match for just about any GTR on the Touge. The Wangan may be a different matter.

The bickering between Gareth and Ben goes further than cars. One of the advantages of this site is that owners of differing marques can co-exist with gentle banter rather than the normal ganging up that happens on a lot of sites.

A tastefully tuned FC is definitely on my list at some point. I hope it's sooner rather than later :D

Nicely put Stu.

Re-Amemiya are the Nismo equivalent for RX7s along with Knight Sports and Feed (Fujita Engineering).

There are plenty of nice demo cars all 3 tuners have produced but I think Re-Amemiya are definitely the best in terms of performance and looks.

Put the tuners cars on a racetrack and we know that 4wd comes out slightly (I said slightly!!) faster eg Garage Saurus R32.

Lifes only fun if you take the mickey out of each other from time to time. I am also pleased to say that everything on this forum is taken with a pinch of salt and everyone has a good laugh.

I totally agree with the comment re owners of different cars getting flamed on 'one car forums' and seen this happen on quite a few I frequent. At the end of the day whilst I love the RX7 theres nothing to say I cant like Skylines, Dagenhams finest, Scoobies, Evos, BMs (unless sat 3 foot on my tail!)etc etc and even MR2s !!!!!!!! :P

Awww anyone fancy a hug ?!!!!?

FCs are great cars and very popular for drifting in Japan. Spending a lot of time on the MRC I have to say that it doesnt seem quite as easy to get parts for them as FDs. This is predominantly because people keep writing FDs off so 2ndhand parts galore !! Think its worth getting an import now as I have seen plenty where they need a lot of welding. I would also consider one when I have to perish the thought get rid of the FD.

A nice white one for me with 'Red Suns' sticker on the back....very Initial D !!!
