Hi peeps, new member from Australia. Been lurking a while and time to do an intro. Names Allan and own a 1st gen s1 Rx7 that here in Australia is known as a Daytona.
Nearing the end of a lengthy overhaul rebuild which consisted of body, driveline, interior and a few other things.
Some great info on this forum and some great cars getting around.
Any widebody 1st gens getting around ?
I'll post some pics up of my baby soon
Cheers Allan.

Looks excellent! What was the kit, FRP? Some serious blending work going on there

Nah it's not FRP.
The kit was a drive in drive out option back in the 80's here in Aust.
Here's a brochure from back then
They are pretty rare now in Oz with probably 40 - 60 known going around still.
Cheers Allan

Thanks for that, Allan. Never seen one before. That's one hell of an option

Most people are happy with a set of mats
Looks bloody good though, reminiscent of the GTu widebodies and such. Looks to have predicted the Turbo II hoodscoop by a few years, too

Yeh not wrong Lucky, imagine buying a new rx7 back then and then paying a further 7 grand ontop to have a Daytona. Look at the prices -

5 stud wheels?
I like how in the ad they called Myles 'The Kiwi'. I can tell you there is or was a whole load of kiwis with that imaginative nickname. Stating the obvious comes second nature apart from when they call Redheads 'Blue'
Nice car BTW.

Yeh 5 stud mate, running GMH (holden interceptor rims) steel wheels with custom offset.
I'll start up a project thread page showing all the mods the car has gone through for anyone interested
Cheers Allan.
