This RX7 was imported to turn into a race car. A 1UZFE was chosen as the power-plant along with a Toyota W58 gearbox. The engine was run stock standard with a link ECU and a custom-made exhaust system. BC suspension was fitted and Ferrodo pads thrown into the calipers. The gearbox lasted a year then was upgraded to an R154. Four years later the engine got pistons, cams and head work. Individual Throttle Bodies and the front brakes were up graded to Wilwood.
