January 8, 200620 yr FUGLY i think the wheels suck, the motor is only cool as somone spent lots of time and money making somthing work, body is poor choice with scoupe and all i think a 4wd ea81 turbo coupe with a wrx trasplant and some mudflaps and agressive tires ,would look 10times better this this deal...
January 8, 200620 yr Author :lol:reminded me of a early BMW coupe. Personally I like the bodywork, very unique (if a bit over the top ) as for the engine... granted, I think a nice JDM EJ25 would make it all the better, neverless it is impressive he took the time to fab that in there..... I think this is one of those love it or hate it kinda things oh and the wheels shoulda been the gold STi BBS's, with the brembos for that matter (if thats even possible)
January 8, 200620 yr Well... lots of fabbing work there. but the whole car makes about as much fashion sense as the average car coming out of "Pimp My Ride".
January 8, 200620 yr well that's pretty cool. someone here has got to try the rx7 motor into sube swap.
January 8, 200620 yr Very nice. I like that wheels (5 lug swap?) and the fact that someone put that much time into it. I like the custom interior and would like to see more pix of that as I am doing a complete custom job on one of my projects. I always like imagination go into a car. Besides no one else has built one.
January 8, 200620 yr Gotta agree with the Mustang look, but I could live with it sitting in my driveway. Thinking different rims though. Just don't like the looks of those.... Otherwise, I likes it... So does Mikey!!!!
January 8, 200620 yr I like it....Just as long as it isn't a full out brap brap rice coupe, I had a neighbour with the 13b turbo RX7 and it was a nice car without the brap brapness I see on most other rotaries. Just my 5cents.
January 8, 200620 yr I like the bumpers and even the grill but I'd prefer all the trim to be blacked out rather than chrome. And the wheels, I guess they go with the chrome theme but they kind of draw your eye away from the car itself. Lose the scoop and stuff a front mount intercooler under the bumper. No side skirts/ground effects? So how much power would a 13b setup like that make? Would that weigh less than an EJ20T?
January 8, 200620 yr looks pretty nice. i say if I was to swap a 13bt motor in an 80's suby, go as light as i can go. looks like its an fc engine so it should be extremely light, get rid of the chrome and go rays or sumthing, could have after looking at how much money was put into other things and clean out the interior, ultra sleeper. but each to his own opinion, i say total props for being so dedicated and it turned out nice.
January 9, 200620 yr dass hott I like the grille, mirror, and scoop combo, and the chrome of wheels, not design.
January 9, 200620 yr indeed, stock brakes would be scray. His prolly got the 5 stud wheel conversion someone here makes. I almost ripped his throat, but then I saw it was AWD... so its cool. At least it isn't just another RX2/3/4/7..... EDIT: I was just looking at the title again.... EA81 coupe? But its not even a EA81...

But its not even a EA81... i'll rephrase: GL series coupe i too would like to know what kinda horsepower its making.
January 9, 200620 yr Sounds like there's some hot upgrades, but to be honest, it looks like someone put a helluva lot of time into bondo-ing a bunch of junkyard parts that fit a coupe then rolled it down to Earl Scheib auto paint for the $44.99 "Tuesday Special". The on the way home stopped by Schucks auto supply (aka Checker / Parts America) and bought $350.00 in chorme and flair. I think it's gawdy looking and a waste of money. Are those 16" Spinners? Thats just IMHO.
