Update on my rx-7 "new pics/stuff" - 08.25.2009, 11:00 AM

Well Ive got some good news. I got around to buying some hella cool stuff for my rx-7 lately. Bought some new Motegi/Roja 17in rims, 4x100 to 4x114.3 adapters, new goodyear lowpro tires, fixed the smash in the side of the car "prettymuch unnoticable", some interior stuff, changed every fluid, have an ecu tuning chip on the way, new straight exuast with pilot racing ends, new oversized K&N filter on backorder from local auto parts store, refirbishing the engine compartment faded peices. And I just bought a 16gal 5.4cfm compressor and a nice paint gun. "just gotta figure out what color I want it to be". Now I just gotta fix my power steering leak... Its a pinsize hole and ive tried everything from sealent tape to jb welb to seal it but nothing works. I dont want to have to replace the line because ill have to work from behind the oil cooler and ill have to drain the power steering... Well anyways heres the pics.

Looking good! I think it would look killer in shiny midnight blue...
Now you need that front trim, and to bondo all the random holes in the rear!
Is it a 5spd or a automatic... PLEASE 5SPD!


Get me back into RC!

I love the 2nd gen rx-7's. I like the way the seats feel, and the way they drive. Bang for the buck they are great little sports cars. Not trying to threadjack, but here is my last one, picked up the roller for $500, gxl had cherry leather interior, even a factory cd player that still worked. Of course I dumped a fair amount into it.

"just gotta figure out what color I want it to be".

I've never seen a bright yellow RX7 ??


I retired from RC, now life is all about guns and long range shooting.

those are cool cars I had a friend who had one and a super charger or something that went "pffft" out of the airvent on that passenger side. Always loved rotary engines just would not know how to go about fixing it

FC is my 2nd choice of car right now, for when I have enough saved up. I check Craigslist almost every day.

So this means I am jealous!
