Very nice. Wonder how hard it would be to find and install a factory spoiler on it?
BTW here is my new car:

A small lips spoiler wouldn't hurt. I don't think the car looks good without a spoiler. My same opinion with the Toyota Supra or the original Lexus SC. Anyways, my opinion. But the spoiler you get, it'd better have function too!

Congrats! As for the spoiler topic... I've never seen one in person that DIDN'T have a spoiler, so I guess it looks kinda weird in the pics without one.
Gorgeous car, though! I would LOVE to have one holed up in my garage.

Oh man I'm so jealous. Thats my one of my affordable dream cars next to an Evo. Make sure to let us all know what that thing is really like, I want to know personally cuz I'm thinking about getting one of those in a couple of years.
And about the spoiler and lip, do what you want man. The spoiler isn't too bad in my opinion. Plus why the hell would you buy a car like that and keep it stock? Damn car is just ripe for tuning. As long as you keep the exterior looking good and beef up the rotory a bit I will forever be your buttbud...I mean your slav...I mean your personal admirer. Congrats thought, 44k miles is a hell of a find!

I don't understand why everybody wants you to keep it plain. I love both the spoiler and the lip. It looks fuggin awesome with them. Even if they aren't functional, there is nothing wrong with mods that make your car look THAT DAMN COOL!!! Come on people... It's not like he's talkin about a steel bolt on wing, green tint and spinners. All this rice business of late has people too worried about other peoples' opinions. If you like the spoiler, put the spoiler! There's nothing wrong with tasteful exterior styling. That's half of what cars are about.

Amen. You said exactly what I was thinking except in a much more effective way. If you've got good taste its damn near impossible to ugly up a RX7, it has too much beauty just within its stock form.

If you'd just do the freaking math correctly, it's 33mph. You have to take the force of the wind created by going 32mph, multiply it by the weight of the car, then divide by the difference between wheelbases, and you have your minimum speed required to travel back in time.
No, really though. It's 35mph.

A. I'm a rotary officinado
B. I'm not dropping 8k to ruin a car that's in perfect condition (44k miles common)
C. I do track not drag
D. The labor of putting an Ls1 isn't worth just beause of the thought of the labor.
E. I'd have to redo the whole suspension an it would destroy my cars amazing handling as well as the amazing curb weight.
My goal is around 400 rwhp I don't need an Ls1 to do that an have the exess weight. You an always gain power but it's a shitload harder to kill weight from the engine.
+ Rotors sound sick if done right.
O-an feed developed a CF intake manifold I almost shit myself! There making there engine CF now! No Ls will ever be made CF hehe...

It's not the weight of a V8 that'd kill the Rotary (an LS1 is only about 20 Kg heavier than a 13B), it'd be the weight distribution more than likely, not something to do on a tight budget fer sure.

You're making me proud about the way you're going about modding the Rx7. Nothing makes blind children cry worse than ugly Rx7s.
But whoever said it, putting an LS1 would through the 50/50 weight distribution off. But ofcourse you could compensate with suspension set ups and weight ballasts, etc. But the rotory is a plenty potent enough engine, especially if you swap for the 20B. Damnnnnnnnnnnn....
