Mazda RX-7 to Veilside


Veilside, one of Japan's largest automotive aftermarket companies, built this Mazda RX-7 to show off its "Fortune" wide-body kit at the 2005 Tokyo Auto Salon. Painted red, it had everything a show car should — an HKS T04Z single-turbo conversion kit, a massive intercooler shoved under the front bumper, big Rotora brakes, A'PEXi coil-over shocks and vast 19-inch Andrew Evo-V wheels inside P255/30ZR19 front and P305/25ZR19 rear Toyo Proxes radials. The sound system could rip open the car's sheet metal at quarter-volume, and there were lots of custom consoles and Veilside's own D1 R seats. In fact, the Veilside RX-7 was so impressive that it won the Grand Prix award as the best car in the show.

So this car was a legend before Picture Car Coordinator Dennis McCarthy saw it and decided it should, repainted Sunset Orange Pearl, co-star in The Fast & the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Veilside also built three duplicates for the film while the Tokyo Drift shop built three more visual clones — including one destined for destruction using a Mazda RX-7 that appeared in both previous Fast and Furious films as its base.

Because of this car's 80-inch width, its dimensions are awkward — it's barely twice as long as it is wide. There are waves in the repeatedly repaired body (though the carbon-fiber hood is gorgeous), and the interior long lost its luster, but the Veilside RX-7 has the bearing of a champion. If there's a complaint, it's that the added rear window divider and tall rear spoiler pretty much eliminate rearward visibility.

Mazda rotary engines love to rev, and given enough turbo pressure can produce startling horsepower numbers — even if their peak torque output remains modest. But this car was beat up during the production and on the chassis dyno it produced only 306 horsepower at 6,650 rpm and 256 pound-feet of torque at 5,950 rpm at the rear wheels — better than stock, but nowhere near its potential. More importantly, there was little low-end torque to get those big wheels turning. It took 6 seconds for the flying brick to hit 60 mph and 14.1 seconds to run the quarter-mile at 104.5 mph. Stock third-generation U.S.-spec Mazda RX-7s easily bettered those times when they were being sold new in the '90s.

It's hard to imagine drifting the Veilside RX-7, with its four corners so far apart and such compromised visibility. But this car is so visually arresting, it doesn't need to drift to attract attention.

Want To Sell My Car Parts by Bond Mejeh

Sometimes cars become too expensive to maintain, where some people will pay to have it towed away. Well instead of giving up the car to someone who will be selling off the parts, why not try selling them yourself? Selling car parts can make you a decent amount of money. If you want to sell your car parts, you need to find the right customers.

One outlet for used car parts is the local newspaper's classified section. Run an ad and see what happens. Selling parts from your car isn't going to make you a lot of money, but it beats just leaving them on the car as it's towed to the junkyard. You can also sell your car parts by word of mouth. You never know what can happen.

If you can't sell your parts through the normal venues, you're going to have to be creative. If you've got parts that are worth some money, and in excellent condition, try putting a note on community bulletin boards in stores, the library, or wherever you can put one up. Online bulletin boards for your area are also good places to list car parts for sale. If you post your name, number, city, and your make and model year, you might connect with a mechanic who's been searching for your exact item. If your parts are the only ones around, you can make some good money.

Aside from all of the above, the first place to find someone who would buy these parts would be at your local junkyard. Yards make their money by taking apart the cars that they have, and by selling them. Most yards do it on the side, but a few have made a million-dollar business out of it. Junk yards usually buy the whole car dirt cheap and then part it out themselves, as customers come looking for a carburetor, radiator, set of brakes, or whatever else the customer may need. If there's a demand for your model year and the junkyard doesn't have any in, the junkyard might do business with you.
