You modified a leased car that much? Why not just buy the car? What were you planning to do at the end of the lease? this whole thing smells of hood rich to me.

LOL!! Hood rich..I like that.

I was going to buy the car out but was interested in possibly moving onto a new project earlier....... I've kept all the stock parts so at the end of the lease I was just going to return it back to stock and part the vehicle out. I work within the aftermarket automotive industry (marketing) so it's a prototypical project to me.

I'm not even 100% sure I want to get rid of it. Just putting a feeler out on the market..that's all.

I see this thing every morning on the way to work.
Last time I saw it was at the RX-8 meet last year.

Actually, the last time I saw it was in the parking lot of Dave Wood Mazda.... Regardless, it's been awhile...

Lates,

Hybrid,
I'm trying to find a nice day during the week so I can drive the FD around... but the weather hasn't been co-operating lately. It'll be sunny down in Markham, and a mansoon up by Aurora...

Hopefully next week before I go to Vegas I'll have her out and about

Yeah ..Status was supposed to send me a pair of seats but the somehow the shipment was never made and Status stopped picking up their phones......odd considering the shipment was promised to have been made 2 months ago.

^ nice car man. My friend and I saw it when we went to the Molson Indy show. I think you took 1st place in rotary category rite?

Did that RX-7 from new york that took 2nd have any work done under the hood or was it mostly stock?
