I fucking love his car.
i was going to get an rx-7 before but ended up being too big for the car
Hahah.. same here. I felt like Fred Flintstone in that thing. The Supra does have a sweet interior.
Beastly, my friend. How much work has he done on it (aside from the body kits, which are obvious)?
I miss my rotary.
From looking at the engine bay, quite a bit - unless it's all bolt-on air delivery nonsense.
Here's my cousins Civic SI '06 500+ HP

I take it your cousin doesn't live in Cali or enjoys reverting to stock whenever he needs a smog(unless it's an illegal smog..)
Regardless, good show. I bet that thing gets shakey as hell & feels like it's going to fall apart at that speed.

The kid in me absolutely loves this car...
but as an adult, I wouldn't be caught dead in one.
Rice rocket appeal died when I turned 30 and started wearing a suit. I bet it's nothing but fun.
I couldn't begin to tell you. You'd have to ask him. If you add him on facebook you can see all the pictures of his car that shows just about everything he's had done to it from start to finish.
This car is hardly "rice". Honda civic, yeah that's rice. RX-7 is Japanese muscle plain and simple.
Anything japanese with lots of plastic parts = rice rocket.
people get really defensive about that.

At 1.3L, I really can't call them muscle.
Officially, "rice rocket" is the word for weedy, japanese 4 bangers covered in superfluous cosmetic mods like aftermarket vents/gills/air dams/splitters/skirts/wings/spoilers/fartcans/gold colored wipers/etc.
Unofficially, it's a label that car snobs put on ANY asian vehicle.......I see a similar attitude on bimmerforums with the 5 and M series guys.
But in the sub forae dedicated to older (and much more affordable) performance BMWs there is much less antipathy towards asian cars.
Probably because they own both Japanese and German vehicles and realize that they are both built equally shitty lol.
