Down the retro widebody rabbit hole...

[awesomeaustinv]

TIL you can still buy these things. These are glorious things. I want one of these things... Some of the panel gaps on this Mustang II are less than great, but otherwise it looks fantastic. Or at least, much better than the stock Mustang II. The 3rd gen Camaro needs more love. And fender flares. Widebody X1/9 is best X1/9.

@awesomeaustinv Hmm, was expecting more widebody Rabbits:

I love X1/9's. A widebody is just more X1/9 to love.

@awesomeaustinv

I'll take one of these, please

@facw Yeah, too much hole and not enough rabbits.

When I was a wee lad, the thing was KAMEI. Every Golf driver had to have at least a Kamei sticker, if not more tasteless/uselss mods.

I wanted to do a Sebring kit on my MGB...

@looseonexit Damn, I love the widebody 4 eyed Foxes. That's a good look.

@ibrad The "RX" in RX7 stands for "rallycross", right?

@flatisflat Needs more rear wing.

[KAC]

@awesomeaustinv Not quite as aggressive as the Monroe handler but I quite like the Monza Mirage.

Or then you could just go all out and slap a full on IMSA bodykit on your Monza.

@awesomeaustinv Rotary rallycross experiment? R²X²?

[awesomeaustinv]

@facw Sorry, not that kind of rabbit hole. Those Rabbits look cool, though I feel like box flares would look a lot more appropriate. Something like this:

@awesomeaustinv @ibRAD The Toyota 222D has arrived on the scene:

@ibrad RX-7S for the streets?

[awesomeaustinv]

@ibrad R2 X2, R2 D2's weird but fast cousin.

Speaking of down the rabbit hole I'd never heard of that one! Pretty cool.

[KAC]

@ibrad Mazda's 4wd rally prototype for the stillborn Group-S.

[ibRAD]

@kac Is there any FC in there or is it a unique chassis?

[KAC]

@ibrad I don't really know much about it other than that it exists but according to Rally Group-B Shrine it's purpose built spaceframe with a body vaguely resembling an FC.

[flatisflat]

@kac Agree to disagree, but I still approve because it's still an X1/9.

[zipfuel]

@kac oh Jesus, that's not the Austin maestro based kit car is it?

[KAC]

@zipfuel Are you referring to the Dallara X1/9 or the RX-7?
Edit: NVM Figured it out. Now, tell me more about this Maestro based RX-7 rally car.
