Back in January when we did Mazda month, we ran a spotlight on this IMSA-styled SA22C RX7 out of Japan. At the time the car was done in semi-gloss black, but it's since been repainted in a glossy red. The guys from the 22C Works website sent us some photos of the remade car, and we knew for sure you guys would want to see them.
Although, the car is essentially the same besides the color, the red body gives it a whole new personality.
Squint your eyes a little bit, and it looks like a Porsche…
To refresh your memory, the car is running SSR Formula Mesh wheels, 16×11 in the front and 16×13 in the rear.
Big thanks to 22C Works for keeping us updated on this beast.
Check out their website for all things good about first gen RX7's.

amazing!
The 22C Works website has been down for months now.
Yeah! RX-7, hella-yes! lol
looks more sedated like this.whats the res for on the back?
This thing is out of control
Now that's jolly good!
It does look like a Porsche!
I read the rim size and... Damn! What size tires is this rotary running?
Now if you could only drive this on the road as well it'd be the perfect car
Soooooo cool!
That thing is SICK!
Please sir, may I have some MOAR!

site is not down. just mis-linked.
I've been looking for this kit on my RX7 for years and can't seem to find a place to get it. Sucks that I can't read Japanese.
Mmmmm...... She looks absolutely delish from the back.
YOW
AWESOME
Love the first gen RX7 coverage! Dont see these to often on here. I second MR2_fan "MOAR!"
WWWWIIIIIDDDDEEEE
.
i love how even with 13" wide rims in the back, the inside of the rear tire is still almost outside of the original body lines hahaha
So beautiful.
interesting side mirrors..
I don't like stock bodied S22's. They're too slim. They're not wide enough. This is how they should have been made. The flares give it real presence. Of course, 16 by flippin' 13 doesn't hurt either. Thanks for posting!
Just got the Vol. 12, 2009 G-Works Japanese Classic Car magazine today and this car is featured in an 8 page article. I think it's powered by 13B N/A Rotary with 343ps@9500 rpm (I can't read Japanese). Love the looks of this car.
holy schmoly thats one of the most insane RX7s I 'e ever seen, and I look at a lot of RX7s! that is such an amazing machine and props to the builders, the wheels really set it off. holy crap, I would be in dreamland if I was driving this on a track all the time! awesome x100!
SWEET MISSILE I LOVE THESE THINGS
This is making me want to head over to the Mariah website and get a wide body for mine! Mmmm, widebody.
@AE71-4AGZE - This is definitely not a missile. This is pure badass.
That is some serious widebody action!
"Squint your eyes a little bit, and it looks like a Porsche..."

Bah, don't insult the Mazda. Just kidding, it really does look like a Porsche from the rear but it's still got just enough Japanese flair to set it apart. That and the offset....I've never seen a Porsche running THAT extreme of an offset. Very cool!
SSR Formula Mesh wheels, 16x11 in the front and 16x13 in the rear.
Awesome. Simply awesome.
Taking inspirations for the FC...... I see
Dear god is that thing mean....
Absolutely my favorite 1st gen RX7, digged it more in black though
i like the way it used to look more so. but still, amazing car. love it.
