Han is still in my mind the ONLY true car guy in the entire franchise period. Every other cast member still only came off as actor/actress or enthusiast at best. Plus the small Tokyo highway nitrous burn was the best street scene
dude paul literally did a lot of stunts by himself, and drove on the track a lot, yeah he wasnt a real life street racer, cop, but he actually loved racing cars
I helped Yokomaku build this car. I did a lot of the mold prep, fab work, and assembly of this and the blue one that was built for the show in France. It was at 400rwhp when we built it. I also built the air suspension on the yellow NSX that was in the movie.
I love how Craig is ALWAYS honest, about HP. The way he broke down the claimed "600hp" to a real life 305hp. Keep the stories coming, also your book is AMAZING
The wide body kit makes it look like a totally different car. Makes it look more like a super car. First time I watched that movie I was like "What is that?"
I still remember the day We as kids gathered all the money we had and rented the original Fast and furious movie Obviously at the time it was On a VCR cassette And tbh I was fortunate To see that car culture And you sir being part of it and today sharing all this with us I really appreciate it
When I first saw this car probably like many others I had no idea it was a Mazda Rx7. Seeing this car back when the movie first came out had a big impact on me. Thanks again for the videos Craig!
God the best part of That movie is when Han finally slows down when doing the donuts around that GTR and you see the rear wheel just slowly come to a stop and the cars body roll come down to normal. That car easily became my favorite car in the franchise based on that alone, car was just sexy as hell when it did that!
I was like 11 and had just gotten into cars when I first saw tokyo drift. I had no idea Han's car was an RX-7. I thought the FD RX-7 was beautiful stock (still do) and when I found out what the car was, i was floored. Low key been in love with it since.
Tokyo drift is the movie I truly grew up with. I saw it in theatres even though my parents didnt want me to, I watched it at my friend's when it came out on dvd, and I just kept on watching it all through my teens and now young adult. Han's RX7 is such a badass car since it looks like a track LMP and it had my heart since I was 5. If I had 50K in my bank and I already had a Superlite SLR (w/ LSx454 ofc), Viper ACR, RX8 GT, Road legal stock car (vortec 8100 swapped), road legal Radical SR3.... then yeah I would buy one. I feel like the sleekness of the veilside kit has been pretty well reinterpreted with the Superlite kit car although the rear of the veilside is fucking unbeatable. Its easily my top 5 best looking car booties 😍😍
Han's Rx7 was definitely one of the most unique, i remember seeing this movie in the theaters as a kid with some friends. Definitely blown away by the work that was done on these cars in this movie. Rx7, 350z, The S15's and that Evo was amazing. Great cars in this film, loved it.
about 15 years ago I was scouring the web for a video like this, thanks that you made it possible after so many years to obtain such valuable info about the car !
Imagine if they started a series of films around Han and his street racing life before it all. And this time make everything super accurate. It would be amazing. Make it the best FnF ever. It could definitely be worth going into a trilogy at least. But I know the current ones make more money so they probably won't.
There is kind of a prequel to Han's character. It was confirmed by Justin Lin that the movie Better Luck tomorrow is a continuation of Han's character.
true words at the end about the movie character Han. He´s my favourite besides Brian. I guess it´s no surprise that the actors who are car guys in real life make for the most authentic movie characters in the franchise. Btw your videos are awesome, the way you speak about the cars and share you stories makes me feel like I´m in the good old days of cheap tuning and just pure fun with what these cars are all about.
Robanz ZZ the F-Bomb Camaro from the 4th movie was kinda cool if you like that era Camaro. The real one (owned by the chief editor of Hot Rod Magazine) was a 8sec Nelson Racing Engines 1500hp twin turbo setup. NRE also built the 2000hp Charger that was featured at the end of the 7th Fast & Furious movie.
Each time someone bring's up Han's car I feel stupid, because when I was watching the movie first time, I didn't recognize it. I thought it was "some kind of awesome Japanese sports car that never made it to the West". Years later I found out it was in fact "just" a RX-7 with a bodykit.
Yea but isn't that what makes it fun!?!? Discovering a whole new world of car stuff. I've spent years working on Volvos but recently my wife bought me a Daihatsu Mira and I've had to use ALL the knowledge I've gained to work on this little Japanese car!!! It's great.
Been waiting for this one! This is by far my favorite car from these movies, as someone who loves RX-7s, it looked fantastic and sounded even greater, that's not to mention the impact it did on popular culture and how it "cemented" the RX-7's place as an iconic movie car. Some may argue they are "cars held on pedestals", but the charisma Rotary cars like it has it is something so unique, and I saw that in Tokyo Drift. Great to hear Sung also thinks highly of this car as well, I wonder if someday he's gonna "pull of a Han" and actually build a replica of his own!
Was quite the time to be alive if you were into modified cars. Just thinking back to the amount of reputable tuning houses, quality aftermarket products and large scale car events. I remember VeilSide for their wild curvy body kits which in hindsight look quite ridiculous, but were so popular at the time. Unfortunately over the years I feel Japan has gone the same way, iconic places such as Sendai Hi-Land Raceway are now closed and SuperAutobacs in Shinonome is a shell of its former self. Love these videos for a bit of nostalgia.
That Veilside kit RX-7 has a very nice looking front end. When I watched the movie in theather for the 1st time and didn't know that it was RX-7 with Veilside bodykit I thought it was an expensive supercar.
Initial favourite car was Brians orange supra until Tokyo drift was released. This Veilside RX7 became my number one favourite since. Nothing else tops it for me, I just love the lines and stance of this vehicle, plus the sound of a rotary, my gosh!!
One of my favourites from the whole franchise. I'm so glad they decided to use real RX-7's engine sounds for this as it sounds absolutely eargasmic in the movie.
u got me with the monte carlo video... as a long time monte lover, & 30 year owner of a 71, its been the redheaded step child of the chevy family for to long... really enjoying ur videos, thanx & god bless bro
You're stuck in 2006. The opposite is now the case, it is immensely overrated. If you dare to criticize this movie, you'll get attacked by toxic fans. It is a good racing movie, but not a good Fast and Furious movie. It should be F1 that sets the tone for the franchise, not a commercially unsuccessful spin-off.
The bodykit was always an interesting one with the Koenigsegg-esque fixed headlights, do VeilSide still make it? (Do they make any of the old, iconic bodykits anymore, for that matter?)
Fun fact about you mentioning the koenigsegg. I worked at the factory, according to the "OG's" working there, the early Koenigseggs (CCR especially) had BIG problems with those headlights, always leaking and having moisture problems.
My FD was one of the first 500 in the US and was manufactured in January 1992. She is a special gal as she is the same age as me has 110000 miles and clean title ❤️
I watched Tokyo Drift in theaters more times than id like to admit- but this car is a lot of the reason I did! It is such a unique and beautiful body it immediately became my favorite F&F car- and I'm a muscle car guy! And that rotary sound is equally amazing in the movie, when they blow past the police - oh hell yes!
You should consider doing a video on the Evo 9 from Tokyo Drift. I know it’s not everyone’s favorite car since it got converted from AWD to RWD but as a fan of your videos and the car, I’d definitely be interested in the story behind it.
Honestly I watched a couple of his videos an no matter what I hear about them I can’t change my mind , it was awesome to live in that era , fast and furious , tokyo drift , need for speed games , for a couple fo years it felt like I was living in a different reality , it was fun , customised cars were awesome , decals were something else , so many different body kits , simply fun .
Tokyo drift is also my favorite fast and furious film I love that 70 Monte Carlo Sean Boswell wrecked that breaks my heart every time I see that Monte Carlo get wrecked also this will give me hate I actually think the veliside fd rx-7 looks better than the production version also the FB rx-7 is the best looking rx-7 in my opinion because 70's JDM cars are underrated and sexy
I remember when I got my first phone with a camera and watched the movie with my phone ready to take pictures of Hans RX7 for my wallpaper. It’s a timeless car 😍
Hands down this was the best movie ever and this car is the best portrayal of what an iconic movie car should look like and Han is my favourite character from the movie let’s say top 2 💕🔥
Since South Africa is right hand drive, there are a handful of the RB Nissans like R33, 34's and a few RX7's since they stopped selling RX7's here in 1980 when the 12A was the engine of choice.
Its hard to imagine 00s stuff is vintage now. I feel old lol. To hear somebody say "back then" or " at the time" when referring to something from 04/05 is kind of funny.
The first time i watched tokyo drift when i was a kid i guessed han's car is a mazda rx-7(that was back when i dont know much about cars)and guess what? I was apperently right
Seeing how many people treat Rotaries like normal engines, it probably DID have about 350hp until they flooded, cold revved and whatever other hellish things they could've done. If you abuse a rotary that way, they lose power and die FAST
I love rx7s and rotary engines, I owned an 88 turbo II for years and is still one of my favorite cars ever...but my favorite car with the shortest appearance in any of the movies, it the 70 road runner that dom.plays chicken with and totals. Just because I feel it is one of the most beautiful cars ever made...ever.
As a massive fan of rotary engines and Mazda RX-7’s and their original styling, I would never put a Veilside kit on my own personal FD. If I received a donor car that was in not so great shape body/interior wise, I might make a replica for track and/or show use. Personally, I think Han’s FD is kick-ass and truly gorgeous. The mix of pearl orange and black is a color combination I never really thought of but fell in love with. There’s a guy where I live that has an Evo X with a similar color scheme. I tried my best to re-create the RX-7 in Gran Turismo, so thank you for the specs of the car, they were hard to find online. I think the original 3 films were the best with the most iconic cars. I’m looking for diecast models of them for my dresser, I have Brian’s R34 GT-R already. This beautiful FD is next on my list. Keep up the good work, Mr. Lieberman!

I’m my opinion, Tokyo drift was the best fast and furious tuner wise.
You mean tuner wise, but fast and furious will always be number one,when Tokyo drift came out you knew nothing of drifting in America
Nah, FF1 is definitely the best. I’d agree TD was a close second though.
for being the best according to you it made the least amount of money at box office so no it's the worst boi
Nismo Cash That literally means nothing considering tuners lmao. Dumbass kid
Ya the beginning is great where they are in the new development.
I’m surprised by how well the body kit has aged in comparison to other car customizations in the early 2000s.
Agree, shit's clean
Aesthetic AF
ReAmemiya is still better
i can’t agree from the side angle it looks bunk imo but i loved it as a kid
I just had this thought : If they had made a spinoff of Han & Brian after Tokyo Drift it would've been the coolest movie ever for car guys.
Yeah exactly, wouldve been way better than this "hobbs and shaw" movie where its just a constant ego dick fight and shitty script.
Han is still in my mind the ONLY true car guy in the entire franchise period. Every other cast member still only came off as actor/actress or enthusiast at best. Plus the small Tokyo highway nitrous burn was the best street scene
dude paul literally did a lot of stunts by himself, and drove on the track a lot, yeah he wasnt a real life street racer, cop, but he actually loved racing cars
Paul was right up there too, he comes from my neighborhood SUNLAND!!!!!
I helped Yokomaku build this car. I did a lot of the mold prep, fab work, and assembly of this and the blue one that was built for the show in France. It was at 400rwhp when we built it. I also built the air suspension on the yellow NSX that was in the movie.
Thank you for sharing with us. That was a job well done!
Fast and furious was a great franchise. It's too bad they only filmed 4 of them.
Only 4 movie's ???
@@nismox6460 yup. Then they switched to call of duty.
@@faridmk3707 or Mission Impossible 😁
3.
1, 2, 3.
@@faridmk3707 you worded that terribly
Han's RX7 and its kit was downright iconic, that Veilside kit will forever go down in history as one of the coolest things ever.
FF1 - Brian's Supra (and many others)
2F2F - Brian's Skyline GTR
FnF:TD - Han's Rx7
FnF4 - Brian's WRX STi
5-8 - tanks, planes, supercars and all sorts of weird shit
Ikr I love the rx7 ima own a rx7 1 day :)
Am I the only one that likes the skyline in the fourth movie, even tho it’s not an actual GTR
5 was more action but not the stupid shit 1 to 5 was good then it got worse
@@fenypoo half-true, the hero 1 car was a GTR, the stunt cars were GTTs.
*_These stories are like treasures..... information use to flow as rumors back then as there was no youtube globally...jeez thanks_*

Same
That seen outside the bath house. The orange just popped against the dull background
Han's RX-7 was the best looking car in the Fast & Furious franchise.
veilside was way ahead of their time. these body kits make them look like current gen hyper cars
Truth
I still remember the day
We as kids gathered all the money we had and rented the original
Fast and furious movie
Obviously at the time it was
On a VCR cassette
And tbh I was fortunate
To see that car culture
And you sir being part of it and today sharing all this with us
I really appreciate it

Han’s Veilside RX7 is up there for my favorite F&F cars alongside Brian’s Supra & GTR, DK’s 350Z and Sean’s Evo.
I was like 11 and had just gotten into cars when I first saw tokyo drift. I had no idea Han's car was an RX-7. I thought the FD RX-7 was beautiful stock (still do) and when I found out what the car was, i was floored. Low key been in love with it since.
Same here bro that car made me fall in love
Veilside rlly killed that body kit it’s insane looking
Tokyo drift is the movie I truly grew up with. I saw it in theatres even though my parents didnt want me to, I watched it at my friend's when it came out on dvd, and I just kept on watching it all through my teens and now young adult. Han's RX7 is such a badass car since it looks like a track LMP and it had my heart since I was 5. If I had 50K in my bank and I already had a Superlite SLR (w/ LSx454 ofc), Viper ACR, RX8 GT, Road legal stock car (vortec 8100 swapped), road legal Radical SR3.... then yeah I would buy one.

Best looking RX7 I've seen.
I got to admit the veilside kit looks gorgeous
@@itsPikachuyeah man, not too much nor too little.
Thanks for still posting. Were still here and love your content.
So much work for a body kit when the stock RX-7 body lines are already some of the best imaginable
Id say its in the top 3 most iconic fast cars. You play any racing game and you will see this skin somewhere even those the bodykit isn't available
Now I know who played a big part in my love for jdm cars. You sir are a living legend
about 15 years ago I was scouring the web for a video like this, thanks that you made it possible after so many years to obtain such valuable info about the car !
Oh man not only is this car the best looking in the movie but it's the best built underneath too
Imagine if they started a series of films around Han and his street racing life before it all. And this time make everything super accurate. It would be amazing. Make it the best FnF ever. It could definitely be worth going into a trilogy at least. But I know the current ones make more money so they probably won't.
There is kind of a prequel to Han's character. It was confirmed by Justin Lin that the movie Better Luck tomorrow is a continuation of Han's character.
Yea that would be dope...the ending could be showing how he met dom at a street race and them racing and it ends and u don't know who wins
Better Luck Tomorrow is a prequel to Han's past life before he met the Fast crew and went to Tokyo

I could watch these videos all day , huge fan of the first four films so this is great to watch
Sung Kang is absolutely right. I don't remember all of the cars used from Fast and Furious 5 onwards. They are just forgettable.
Same here except for me I remember the Angelic White Supra in FF7 Paul Walker Tribute.
@@anavan7 and that ain't even like a "built for the movie" car, that car was Paul's personal car
One of the best looking and most iconic RX7's in the world.
you must be kidding, this shit doesnt even looks like rx7 lol. This looks like a custom made cheap kit. Go watch few rx7 rotary meetings...
to this day, if I were able to drive any of the FF cars, the Veilside Fortune RX-7 would be the one for me. it's GORGEOUS
Sung Kang is 100% spot on about the earlier F&F having the most recognizable/iconic cars.
legit. I can't even remember the cars used in FF4 6 etc. I know they used some lambos and stuff but can't recall the model.
Robanz ZZ the F-Bomb Camaro from the 4th movie was kinda cool if you like that era Camaro. The real one (owned by the chief editor of Hot Rod Magazine) was a 8sec Nelson Racing Engines 1500hp twin turbo setup. NRE also built the 2000hp Charger that was featured at the end of the 7th Fast & Furious movie.
These stories are fascinating. Thanks for providing so much interesting background to these classic movies.
Each time someone bring's up Han's car I feel stupid, because when I was watching the movie first time, I didn't recognize it. I thought it was "some kind of awesome Japanese sports car that never made it to the West". Years later I found out it was in fact "just" a RX-7 with a bodykit.

Han's RX-7 was one of my favorite cars from all of the movies.
"Hans is what true car guys aspire to be"
*Han gets good behind the wheel*
*uses his rx-7 to pick up chicks*
I....don't disagree
Been waiting for this one!
This is by far my favorite car from these movies, as someone who loves RX-7s, it looked fantastic and sounded even greater, that's not to mention the impact it did on popular culture and how it "cemented" the RX-7's place as an iconic movie car.

Han was always my favorite character in the FF franchise because of that RX7 and because Sung Kang is a real life car enthusiast.
The headlights on the Veilside Fortune kit look very similar to Koenigseggs CCX
The orange looked so good though😍
That bodykit is insane
By far my favorite f&f car
I like Lieberman's honesty and truthfulness. He has that "mythbuster" effect. 👍

I like the backend the most
Best looking car in the franchise and in my opinion Tokyo Drift gets a lot of hate but it’s definitely the best movie
No it's not it had nothing to do with previous movies
Best looking car in real life in my opinion.
Grulaz Wrong
This is it.. period. Never seen anything as sexy as that RX...
Hey Craig-
Thanx for all the info on these unforgettable cars!...and thanx for setting the story straight.
Thank you Craig for your work and efforts to make videos about Fast and Furious!!
That veilside kit is so timeless
Initial favourite car was Brians orange supra until Tokyo drift was released. This Veilside RX7 became my number one favourite since. Nothing else tops it for me, I just love the lines and stance of this vehicle, plus the sound of a rotary, my gosh!!
Your videos get me more and more into cars! Thank you so much for telling us these stories⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
One of my favourites from the whole franchise. I'm so glad they decided to use real RX-7's engine sounds for this as it sounds absolutely eargasmic in the movie.
My favorite car of all. Every time I find a toy model of it I have to buy it. I'd definitely sell my supercharged S2000 for this RX-7
I didn’t even realise it was an RX7 when I saw the movie!
same here
Same until I asked my brother what car it was
how are you not youtube famous !!! your videos are amazing !!!
tokyo drift will always be my favorite one from the series just something about it changed my life and made me love drifting
Can you do a video on Paul Walker's Bayside blue R34 from the Fast and Furious (4th movie)
Best car in the whole franchise. I’d say change my mind, but you can’t.
u got me with the monte carlo video... as a long time monte lover, & 30 year owner of a 71, its been the redheaded step child of the chevy family for to long... really enjoying ur videos, thanx & god bless bro
Tokyo Drift made the Veilside RX7 an icon we know today!
I always thought Tokio Drift movie has been so unfairly underrated. After fast1, it's my 2nd favorite of the franchise 🙂
You're stuck in 2006. The opposite is now the case, it is immensely overrated. If you dare to criticize this movie, you'll get attacked by toxic fans. It is a good racing movie, but not a good Fast and Furious movie.
It should be F1 that sets the tone for the franchise, not a commercially unsuccessful spin-off.
The bodykit was always an interesting one with the Koenigsegg-esque fixed headlights, do VeilSide still make it? (Do they make any of the old, iconic bodykits anymore, for that matter?)
Yes, it’s still made. I showed a screenshot of their current website (VeilSide).
Fun fact about you mentioning the koenigsegg. I worked at the factory, according to the "OG's" working there, the early Koenigseggs (CCR especially) had BIG problems with those headlights, always leaking and having moisture problems.
We need a movie about Han. What the fuck fast and furious dudes get on it.
better luck tommorow is the closest to a han movie
Thanks for your efforts Craig to give us the specifications of each cars in the movie 👌🏼👌🏼💯💯
My FD was one of the first 500 in the US and was manufactured in January 1992. She is a special gal as she is the same age as me has 110000 miles and clean title ❤️
*Truth to be told, Sean’s Evo made a bigger lasting impression on me than the Han’s RX7.*
ReboyGTR That was also Han’s
In my opinion Hans is the best wide body Mazda RX7 that I have ever seen...great car at that time to use in Tokyo Drift.
to this day, Han's RX-7 is still my all time fav car
I watched Tokyo Drift in theaters more times than id like to admit- but this car is a lot of the reason I did! It is such a unique and beautiful body it immediately became my favorite F&F car- and I'm a muscle car guy! And that rotary sound is equally amazing in the movie, when they blow past the police - oh hell yes!
I've been waiting for this one. My favourite car after the charger.
Finally! I was waiting for this one! Thanks for uploading :D
You should consider doing a video on the Evo 9 from Tokyo Drift. I know it’s not everyone’s favorite car since it got converted from AWD to RWD but as a fan of your videos and the car, I’d definitely be interested in the story behind it.
The movies rx7 is super cool but i could never butcher an oem rx7 to do these mods. Its just one of the most beautiful cars ever made.
Honestly I watched a couple of his videos an no matter what I hear about them I can’t change my mind , it was awesome to live in that era , fast and furious , tokyo drift , need for speed games , for a couple fo years it felt like I was living in a different reality , it was fun , customised cars were awesome , decals were something else , so many different body kits , simply fun .
Han and rx-7 are best combination and it does need its own story and series
They should’ve done that. Easy way to go back Tokyo. They made other side movies with characters so why not?
Thanks for the upload Craig. I've been waiting on this one.
one of my personal favorites out of all the cars ever features inthis series!
For me there are a handful of memorable cars after Tokyo Drift mainly the Mk1 Escort RS and the Grand National.
I sat with a smile throughout out the whole video! Thank you so much Craig, you're the best 😎✌️
I swear to God if Craig made a video talking about a damn 1992 Camry I'd still watch it.
Tokyo Drift still one of my favorite of all the F&F movies. Back when it was more about racing and not crazy mission impossible stunts.
Tokyo drift is also my favorite fast and furious film I love that 70 Monte Carlo Sean Boswell wrecked that breaks my heart every time I see that Monte Carlo get wrecked also this will give me hate I actually think the veliside fd rx-7 looks better than the production version also the FB rx-7 is the best looking rx-7 in my opinion because 70's JDM cars are underrated and sexy
Man I remember when I first saw this car in f&f Tokyo drift I was like…..damn now that’s a badass rx7👍👍 gorgeous color combo!
I remember when I got my first phone with a camera and watched the movie with my phone ready to take pictures of Hans RX7 for my wallpaper. It’s a timeless car 😍
My favorite car in the franchise, thanks for the video!
Well done to veilside for making this icon car!
The only car that stuck into my head since the first 4 movies is the blue gtr in the 4th
i love Rotary engine. Even 7th of July is RX-7 day.
i was remember Fujita Engineering making the 13B engine mind blowing over 500HP with sideport 13B
Hello and Thank you Mr, Craig for the great content as always...greetings from Algeria 🇩🇿
Hands down this was the best movie ever and this car is the best portrayal of what an iconic movie car should look like and Han is my favourite character from the movie let’s say top 2 💕🔥
Since South Africa is right hand drive, there are a handful of the RB Nissans like R33, 34's and a few RX7's since they stopped selling RX7's here in 1980 when the 12A was the engine of choice.
Ek stem saam met jou
Its hard to imagine 00s stuff is vintage now. I feel old lol. To hear somebody say "back then" or " at the time" when referring to something from 04/05 is kind of funny.
I've seen Drift maybe 12 times over the last 15 years....it never gets old.
The first time i watched tokyo drift when i was a kid i guessed han's car is a mazda rx-7(that was back when i dont know much about cars)and guess what? I was apperently right
Seeing how many people treat Rotaries like normal engines, it probably DID have about 350hp until they flooded, cold revved and whatever other hellish things they could've done. If you abuse a rotary that way, they lose power and die FAST
I hate it when people cold rev any engine, rotary or not. Its like let it warm up a little, jesus fucking christ.
I love rx7s and rotary engines, I owned an 88 turbo II for years and is still one of my favorite cars ever...but my favorite car with the shortest appearance in any of the movies, it the 70 road runner that dom.plays chicken with and totals. Just because I feel it is one of the most beautiful cars ever made...ever.
Yeah it was a sad way to go for such a badass car
As a massive fan of rotary engines and Mazda RX-7’s and their original styling, I would never put a Veilside kit on my own personal FD. If I received a donor car that was in not so great shape body/interior wise, I might make a replica for track and/or show use. Personally, I think Han’s FD is kick-ass and truly gorgeous. The mix of pearl orange and black is a color combination I never really thought of but fell in love with. There’s a guy where I live that has an Evo X with a similar color scheme. I tried my best to re-create the RX-7 in Gran Turismo, so thank you for the specs of the car, they were hard to find online. I think the original 3 films were the best with the most iconic cars. I’m looking for diecast models of them for my dresser, I have Brian’s R34 GT-R already. This beautiful FD is next on my list. Keep up the good work, Mr. Lieberman!

I have found and saved the rarest Mazda FC RX7 ever made! Now this car is rare. Really rare! Let me break this down really quick...
Ever heard of the rare 100 GTUs rx7s? Only 40 have ever been claimed and only 7 are confirmed at the time of this posting! Here are the rarest rx7 FC3S models:
1500 10AE Turbo models
1400 infini
1000 winning limited
150 final edition convertible
100 GTUs...
out of that 100:
83 red on black
10 black on black
7 white on blue
There was only 100 GTUs models created between 1989 and 1991.
If you own one of these rare models sign your car up to the registry list here on any of the rotary forums!
I wonder if there are alternatives for the donor car, instead of the RX-7. Like use a Honda Civic or something haha.
