Sponsored means you pay no money. When your paying them money to get access to there site and "special" deals sounds more like Sam's club.

Thanks chasrx and between the rebuilt kit new irons/rotors flywheel exhaust holley ect it came to about 4 thousnd from atkins. As far as the paint job it would be about that much for the restoration stripping the car down fixing all the dents and dings fixing the bodykit and fitting it(pain in the ***) then paint and all the labor it would have been about 9 thousand $ for a normal person. just the paint was like 600 without a markup price and the car has a lifetime warranty on all paint and work
and stoner car care is in many high-end magazines so id take it you dont read modified mag super street or sport compact car.

I would take it that this is stupid to argue about, everyone has diffrent tastes so lay off the guy and 1985GSL, don't argue with them cause it only makes you look stupid because these guys don't agree with you. Who cares, if you like your car that is all that matters.

Give the guy a break, he is from wisconsin after all. I swear that has to be the second worst state in the country, second only to Ohio and their tight-assed cops.

Anywho, off of that rant. Your car looks like ***, sorry man.
That sub is:
1) Too damn big for a FB
2) Poorly placed
3) Would sound like ***

You got taken on your "sponser" deal.

Modified and Super Street are about as useless as dollar coins in a strip club (how are you supposed to tip the strippers with coins?!?)

The "fade" paint job was cool when you were barely into kindergarten.

Did you get all of your ideas for your gheto-fabulous ride from Pimp My Ride?

HIN is a bad idea all together. I'd rather go and see real rolling art at a classic car show or at the Woodward Dream Cruise.

Your mother should smack you for wasting so much money on that paint job

What i'm trying to say is that I think that you're a schmuck ricer, and all you care about is having a "sponsered" "show car" (that looks worse than a cross between Janet Reno, Prince, and Steve Nash). Good luck with your "show car", and I hope that you are damned for an eternity of the Devil having his way with you.

It is his car, and that is all that matters, but he came to us showing off his "sponsered whip" and wanting our opinion, so we gave it to him, and he started arguing with us. I would hope that everyone has enough tact to give a rebuttle that will back up their point and leave it at that. This guy isn't worth any time arguing.

Hey Charlie, I like it, especially the wheels. But then I am one of those who likes to keep my 7's stock. But you have done a lot of nice work to make a truly unique "modded" RX-7 and I have certainly seen uglier paint and body kits. In fact it looks pretty good, probably even a lot better in person.

Thanks for posting and don't take some of these guys too seriously, they are either jealous, younger than you or wish they could have built a car like that when they were 17, or even now.

Keep up the good work, post more pictures once you get that speaker problem fixed!

if your sponsored you should buy a RB aluminum flywheel and sell it to other fourm members (ME...) for a waaay lower price. I have cash but I don't wanna part with 400 or wahtever rediculous price they want for it.

Nice body kit, some new rims and a steath install on the stereo and the car will improve your car even more!

Your pricing sounds abit high, but atleast we can see you have put abit of money into your car. Where as alot of guys drive beater cars. Continue doing what you are doing and enjoy.

Even I have had people **** talk my car when I started out.

i find this statement to be very rediculous, and disrespectful. there was a spoonful of useful information about the sub, but it was posted with such disrepect, that i would honestly disregaurd, besides the fact that there is no actual data provoded with it.

there is no need for you to rip into this guy, all he was doing was sharing his car, yea, this is a public forum where you area aloud to share your opinion which was that you didnt like it, and you like the woodward cruise and yada yada. there was no need for such disrespect, no such name calling is deserved. and i really hope you were joking about the devil.

and just because you dont like his paint doesnt mean its a waste of money. maybe you may pay more for satelite dish or high speed internet, some would say its a waste, but you enjoy it. just like he enjoys his paint job.


and now where i tell you what i think of it, i think it sorta looks goofy, but i think it will look much better wiht bigger rims. i like the interior as well, but i think there is a little to much red, i would do the pillars back to black. and although it may be quick i wouldnt consider it highly modified. i dont find it wrong at all to try and make a old car look newer, if it tickles your fantasy, then go for it!

Rediculous, no, disrespectful, yes. I'm not nice to ricers, plain and simple. Look at the guys' date of birth. He's 17. I'm sick of these wanna be "hot rodders" that think HIN is a big deal. This guy is a ricer because of the shear fact that he got a "sponsership" that he had to pay for. I give people hell to their face if their car is offensive. I put it bluntly, as there is no reason to coat it with bullshit to make the person feel not-so-bad-about-themselves. The only names that I called him were schmuck and ricer, and they fit rather well. I will not give respect to someone who has a car that is all show and no go. By coming on here and bragging about his "sponsorship" that he payed for and a 9k paintjob, he was asking for ridicule. My post may look extremely harsh to some, but soemone has to tell this kid what's up.

Sounds like Bullshit to me. If ur gonna say somthing at least you should be consistant about it. The rebuild kit costs 1k or so... There is no way you would order a brand new engine peice by peice. I don't think any 17 year old could afford that. I know I can't and I have 2 jobs!

Forgot to add, Nice car. I don't like the paint and the interior look like somthing off a 91 honda civic with a teenage owner. But to each his own. Good luck.

MosesX605

I like the body kit. The paint is not something I would choose, but looks well done for all that. Put some nice Panasports on that puppy and you'll have a real head-turner.

Don't forget to pay equal attention to the suspension.

Not only is it far from impressive, its far out of your price range. As a personal friend to him and as doing some of the work i poop on you.

Look at YOUR car. BOOOOOOO bah.

you have a 500 inch *****?!??!?! OOOOHHH EMMM GEEEE moron.

you ever painted a car??? with body work???? OOOO how bout you bring a pic in tell it it was dinged up a bit and has shaved lines.... then you tell me what was 9k your 500 inch ****, or your brain upgrade.

and a ricer ??? Bah. idiot how is it a scam to pay 50 dollars to have a chance at sponsors.....

not quite.... after a couple of "real" shows and wins

again you ever done anything of the sort to your car??? no stfu

try and get a paint job close to that, for under 9k.... seriously



whitey, you make me laugh

i don;t have the time to re to all of your stupid ****, but one one word of advice...

DONT POST SELF PORTRAITS ONLINE LOLZER, you suck

you are honestly, IMHO a complete moron. post at LEAST a bash, or something useful instead of just raising your post count. nublet

WHITEY HITS AGAIN!!!!

dude look at your avatar, RICED OUT YELLOW 7!!!!

I PERSONALLY KNOW WHAT WAS PUT INTO THIS CAR, I HELPED BUILD IT FOR ***** SAKE!!!!!



seriously people, this is a forum where help is asked and nice people are around...

i know i was a dick but so were you (to the quoted ones), I usually don't take the time to reply to idiots but since i know the driver and the car i figured i;d gain 5 lbs wasting my time responding to you.

see it in person, bash the car in person. then ill laugh as i push you into a electrical fence and pee on you.

for the most part i dont disagree with what your saying, but i find that the main point of our disagreement lays within the thought that he is a ricer. you think he is, and i do not. i for one am very impressed that he can build a car of that stature at only 17, that is if hes not lying and his parents realy paid.
i also doubt the engine cost are at 4k. but i think he may have just inflated the number so his e-***** looks larger. to me you can have body work and other nice do-dads, and not be a ricer, even if you car isnt fast, as long as you dont claim it to be. but he even has go fast parts, so i dont understand why you think hes a ricer. you think he may have been bent over on the sponsership deal, and you may be right, i honestly am not familiar with it. but someone said that sponsers give you stuff, but only if you have a full sponsership, this i know, as they may only give you discount on there products or just money.... think abut it you can get sponsored by someone who doesnt even make car parts, they cant give you there product, so they give you money.

OK, everyone needs to step back, take a deep breath and chill.

We all have out own likes and dislikes as to what appeals to us when it comes to cosmetic mods. I personally dislike painting the interior trim pieces in an impact color, to me it's just wrong and I hope the fad dies soon.

But that is not the point. Here is a young man who has put a huge amount of work, and talent, into his 7 and every one is ragging on him. We should, instead be showing some respect for the time and talent put into the car, even if we don't like his choices.

Top quality paint and body work costs big dollars. I have seen paint jobs that paint alone was 5k, just to BUY the paint mind you. That doesn't include bodywork or labor.

Not trying to brag, but I can take a 7 apart, completely, put it back together and paint it. I cannot paint to this kids level, yet, so I have respect for his talent and skills.

Whether his engine cost 400 or 4000, his paint, 900 or 9000, it doesn't really matter. What is important is, here is a young man who did this work on his 7 and too many members are ******* him because they don't like his choices of colors or asthetics.

Show him some respect for the talent, effort and expense that went into building the car. If I had that talent at his age, I would probably still have my 2 57 chevys, the Road Runner, a 65 Barracuda and a couple of late 40's panhead Harleys.

Whether you like the color or asthetics or not, at least show some repect for talent and effort.

Naegleria_Fowleri

Theo, I'm not saying I have the greatest looking car in the world. Sorry if it came out like that; however, his car is far from all that great as well. The only point I was trying to make was quite simply that given the same amount of money he spent on his car, I would have went a different route with it on mine. Regardless of all that though, I think he did a good job on it. I don't really care what he does with his car. It isn't mine. I wasn't trying to dog him, just saying that I would have taken different steps. Sorry if I came off any other way.

Wodihor

I personally don't like it. but, the paint was cleanly done from what i can tell and detail was paid to the dash and such. Over all better than my first attempt at moding my interior. look here

At any rate i learned a lot fromthe experance. I have had to deal with my crapy workman ship, because i didn't know what i was doing at the time, and have come up with better ideas. I'm not trying to rice mine out or anything. I just want a clean looking car. So I will be going back to the drawning board soon, after i get married any ways.

Point being, you have to ride in it. if you like it great if you don't change it. I know, and so many others do as well, how much work you have to do getting some of this stuff restored. I'm still trying to get my stearing fixed, as well as trainny. Keep it up, good work.

I agree with what trochoid said, BUT the only reason I stated that IMO that it wasnt a 9k paint job is that I have to base it off of a little 3x3 picture thats not that good of quality to begin with.

J_Lee18m

Well my say on it isn't important seeing as how I just bought an 83 Mazda RX-7 from my uncle, and am in the process of putting a clutch in it. I'm 18 and I think it looks excellent. I mean he did really good, and deserves to be proud of the work that he did. They speaker personally the box is way to big for just one little speaker like that. But anyway he apparently worked hard and I applaud him on that

Theo, you should not be calling people out like that. Your buddy asked "Tell me what you think" about his kinda sorta, maybe paid sponsorshipped car. The paint looks ok, but he should have done that last. The $9000 would have been better spent on the factory steering wheel thats falling apart, the dirty *** engine bay, the factory "dirty" rims, the 20 year old dirty *** carpet and hack job of a stereo system.

A lot of you guys out there when you first bought your seven wanted to do lot a lot of stuff to it. Some of you have and some of you didn't. This kid is 17 and a fairly new owner. I will bet you as time goes by, he will probably change it to factory colors outside and inside and start to "appreciate" the car as a vintage seven rather than a "Go fast, semi ricer".

At least the guy tried, constructive criticism would have better. I bet you when you have a kid that did something wrong, you don't mash his or her head in, would you? You would say what you did wrong and how to correct it for the next time.

The 9K paint job is a little far far-fetched. Maybe including the kit, but still too hard to believe. He asked for trouble on that. Maybe they pay more for bodywork over there (Still hard to believe)

The kid probably didn't think that there are masters of these cars in this site. He will eventually grow up and realize that you can't BS a BSer.

Even though it's not to my liking, there were some effort done to the car. Imagine when this kid turns 30 + years of age.


Hey Kid,
Other than some color variations and some interior issues, you are on the right track, I would try to do something that even after ten years from now would look good and not a fad.


Even some of you guys have some crap on your car that somebody dislikes. That goes for ALL of you, including me.
