by Japanese Tuned Mazda RX-7 Sparks Controversy
Car modifications are a form of self-expression, much like tattoos or piercings. However, when it comes to selling, such changes often deter potential buyers. A prime example is this 1993 Mazda RX-7, which has undergone numerous modifications over its 25-year lifespan.
Reactions to the Unusual Tuning
The auction listing has sparked lively debates. Some commentators criticize the style, comparing it to “Fast & Furious”:
This looks like my grandma’s vacuum cleaner
It resembles the “Jar Jar Binks” version from “Star Wars”
However, there are also fans of Japanese tuning:
This is pure 2000s JDM style incarnate!
Modifications include a new front bumper, widened fenders, a massive spoiler, LED lights, and an upgraded rotary engine. According to the seller, power has increased from 255 to 400 hp.
The interior features bright red accents and numerous gauges. While the Bride seats provide excellent support, their size prevents the doors from closing fully. But with such a flashy exterior, this detail might go unnoticed.
This case shows how radical tuning can divide audiences. For some, it’s art; for others, it’s excess. It’s worth noting that original, unmodified RX-7s are becoming increasingly rare and valuable, making such custom projects even more controversial from a collector’s perspective.
