Took a drive up to the lake by my house last week and was presented with this beast parked up.

Apparently 550bhp. My boy (in the yey! T shirt) thought it was 'supercool' and wants me to buy one!!

A little Fast and Furious for me but impeccable attention to detail. Should have asked for him to lift the bonnet for a shot but never thought at the time.





Young lad, 21 owned it. Happy for pictures with reg to be on here.

Looks like the car Cobra seller Rod Leach had for sale some time ago.

He said in the ads it was genuinely quicker than any Cobra he'd driven.

Might not be the same car.

The insurer must have been salivating when he rang up biggrin

This car has been discussed quite a bit in the rx7 community.

As above it sat in a dealership for about a decade at an astronomical price (talking about nissan R34 gtr Nur spec prices at the time). One of the guys from the FD owners club took a look at it a few years ago when it was still for sale and reckoned it was a show car back in Japan but performance wise it wasn't that fantastic, perhaps 300-350bhp max.

It's interesting as a retro 90's max power era modified car with the odd rare bits but performance wise it'll not be much more than a stock FD with increased boost.

Sounds like the owner's son is using it now.
