yo, I think it looks nice, I think you should lose the bra too, if ya do will you sell it to me, my car is black and my paint is all messed up on my front bumper so I actually want one.......and if you just take the bra off every time you wash her there will be no prob.....
peace

thxs, im goin to throw up a pic of both the bra on and off. I think my car looks way better with the bra though. Damn still waiting for someone to host that pic for me..........
lol i will never sell my car. I put too much $$$ in it. and i couldn't get any of it back. Besides what could possibly be better? for a 17 yr old male? keep in mind insurance etc etc. In my opion the FC is the best car possible for anyone. Best rounded car, afforadable, cheap insurance LOOKS FAT, fast, everything u need...

Clean ride man. I like the blue under the hood. Functional and looks tight.

I notice you have the engine brace. You put that on yourself or was it on when you got the car? I'm seriously considering one for my FC.

ah, i made the cold air box myself and i used aluminum sheething, i think its called, just goto homedepot and look for thin aluminum pieces like half the size of a sheet of paper, ask for some help. they are cheep too, i just worked with the stuff to make it and bought some insulation also along with some alumium heat tape stuff looks like shiny duct tape. It works very well alos.

i put that racing beat torque brace on, it was one of the best cheapest mods ive done. I recommend it. it tightens up the engine alot. makes the car feel stiffer too. I origially bought it get to get rid of my cars shaking when going into first gear or reverse or going very slow, it felt like driving a bobcat very slow, back and forth back and forth. it also cured that too! thanks for all the compliments.

That looks like an exceptionally clean car. Newer style tailights and and threatning exhaust system... nice touch. Some may or may not care for the blue hose dressing in the engine bay but I'm sure everyone can agree it is very clean in there.
Although (I think) I do see one problem... aren't the wheels you have pictured on the left side suppose to be for the right side and I'm guessing the wheels that are on your passenger side should be on the driver side ??? They should be marked as to what side they belong to on the back of the wheel...

i have never changed the wheels from side to side. Couldn't u tell if u had the wrong rims on each side? Cuz i know each side has a specific rim, but no those are the right side for them. thxs about the under da hood.

Well, I was thinking it may also look better if the spokes were to go the opposite way in which you have pictured. It's very possible that I am wrong and perhaps the previous RX7 that I had seen was inncorrect. I'm not sure myself, though I believe if you look on the backside of each wheel there is an "L" for left and "R" for right side. Understanding that you have not changed the wheels, is it possible that might of occured under the previous owners. I think by pulling off just one of the wheels and checking the backside will easily determine which side goes to which. Can someone else out there shed some light on this???

They are on there correctly. The bologna slicers point forward, the TII rims are the ones that point backwards.

Thank you for clarifying that. "Bologna Slicers???" ohh my gawd you're right! How perceptive you are, they do remind me of the ol' slicers. Thanks

Definitely Sexier without the Bra...

Really clean white. I like it.
Ditch the bra like everyone is saying.
It will do more harm than good.

1revvin7, I thought you did a turbo conversion. What car is that? Daily driver? Personally, I hate bras on any car. But it looks worse if the bra's been on there for 15 years, then you take it off and see all of the scratch and stain marks.

That was my old setup, like a year ago. Now SonicRat has that motor. I am ditching the bra because I am going with the gp sports front bumper, oh i forgot to mention that bumper under the bra was smashed thats why i had the bra....
