Its a genuine sl vlt mx7 red with some real faggy bodykit and bonnet scoop lol but im sure some people out there would like it if anyone wants to buy it be my guess . I picked up the car a few months ago that i swap for one of my dirt bikes, at the time the car wasnt running because the bloke that owned it riped the alarm out and messed all the wiring up....So i took a massive risk and bought the car and going of what the guy told me and trailered the car home, the next day i was at work and called my old man and asked him to have a look at it and see if he could get it going... about three hours laters i heared this car come around the coner frying the tyres and there was my old man in the vl (the car even came with rego) i couldnt beleive my eyes he fix it all it was a simple wire that had been pulled out of a plug, my old man pushed it back in and the car started with out a single fault. The bloke even through in a brand new heavy duty clutch Anyways heres a few deatails about the car.. -rb30et bottom end -rb25et head plus cams,head work,etc -Garret t4 highflowed turbo with external gate just been rebuilt never driving with it since rebuilt -haltec e11 or what ever it is -bosh 044 fuel pump with undercar surge tank, not sure whta injectors its running -3inch dump pipe, to 3inch cat, then 3inch to the tip -vt twin piston cailpers and cross drilled discs -mx7 with heavy duty clutch mods.. mods to be installed. -complete calais conversion, with beiage interior -custom cream roof lining -mike m fuesrail -whiteline adjustable panhard rod -vn drop tank -polished calais rims -full respray -tune and better setup -new calais lights heres some pics: Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
