hypnytz well said, and I agree, BUT most people dont say "not my taste though". And even if your comment ends with "not my taste". Would it be okay if I said Your girlfriend is a fat nastty ***** with terrible acne issues BUT thats just my opinion. Is that okay-NO, for the same reason that its not okay to say it about anothers car JUST BECAUSE ITS YOUR OPINION. The point is we all have opinions, and CAN all voice them if we want but that doesnt mean we SHOULD all voice them.
For example if I didnt like the wheels in your sig I wouldnt tell you, simply because its my opinion, and I can if I want. I wont tell you that because I respect you, and dont want to disrespect you, simply because its an option. My right is also to wear a shirt that says "I hate ******* and blacks" but I dont because I respect the people I live on Earth with.

boost, to go with your last post to hypntyz7 - What he and everyone is trying to say.. YOU ASK FOR OPINIONS OF YOUR CAR.. you will GET opinions, wheither the **** you like the opinions or not. Quit the damn whinning and get over it. I'm not trying to be a bitch, but you seem to not get the drift of what "opinions" stand for. I guess, opinions in your mind, face the need of "insults" and "negatively".

Geez, go get a dictionary, look up the words:

opinion
insults
negatively

Tell me what you learn, then come back here, read the posts over, and tell me if we're insulting you, or we're giving you opinions of what we think.

Boost---

If me and my wife walk up to you on the street and you tell me that she is a fat ****, then no, that is not acceptable. You have no reason to voice your opinion, and this is offensive.

Now, If we walk up to you on teh same street, and I **ask** you, in a public place, where I know you and other people will see and hear what I am saying(asking), and you say the same, thing, can I really get upset that you didnt share my view of her as the little princess I think she is? Hell no. If I didnt want your opinion, I shouldnt have asked for it. I cant bitch because you gave it honestly.

Sure, it'd be *nice* if you said, "year, she's great" even if you thought otherwise; to believe that everyone, or even more than a few people in any pulbic place/situation will afford you this luxury, is nothing short of naive. It's not harsh, its just reality.

There is a LOT of negativity in this forum. There shouldnt be any, because each and every one of us are apart of a "rotary brotherhood" we need to stick together as opposed to chewing someones head off because of little ****. I catch flak about my rex every day, from people who dont even know what a rotary is. This forum is designed as a place where everyone who enjoys and loves RX7's and rotaries can come together to share ideas about the thing we all love, not a place to cut others down and critisize other peoples decisions on how they have modified their cars.

Man, give this a rest, you sound like a stuck record.
The S5 tailights are the BEST for the FC, nuff said.
This is only your opinion (which I happen to agree with), but there's no need to ram it down everybody's throat like it's gospel.
And I do believe that emulating another car through looks is RICE.
C'mon, that's totally unreasonable. By this definition any external mod is rice, in which case you've just insulted most people on this forum. Besides, putting parts from another car onto yours is not emulating it (look it up). If the part looks better, use it. It's all a matter of taste. Clear side markers and front indicators provide a modern look, but racing stripes and big stupid wings look silly. Some mods look godd, other don't.

Actually, he’s only asked for your opinion once, many months ago. Since then every time they pop up everyone has another bash, even when they have nothing to do with the thread. Can’t you guys think of something else to go on about?
Quit the damn whinning and get over it.
Everone needs to get over his damn lights and quit whining about it...

Node stop bashing your base model. Phone dial's aren't that bad - nicer than pizza cutters in my opinion. And the brakes are good enough for anything that isn't autocross - 4 wheel disc is nothing to scoff at, be it single or 4 piston calipers.

Wanting luxury electronic items in an RX7 is like cheating on your girlfriend - a recipe for (electrical) disaster and a good way to empty your pockets.

You (and me, and alot of other lucky guys) own a sports car pure and simple - no gimmicks, no bells and no whistles. Just a sports car with a good engine, tight handling and classic looks.

Be proud and loud.

Boy! This thread about 'negativity' sure is negative!
The only two things that bother me are when someone asks,'What do you think?", and SOMEONE ELSE jumps your *** for giving an opinion.
Anyone that calls an N/A a 'slow POS'. No, it's not a turbo, but if you think an N/A is slow, YOU DON"T KNOW what slow is. Even 'economy' cars are MUCH faster and better than they used to be. An N/A with a blown rear rotor is still faster than my aircooled automatic VW. And it was a blast to drive! (BTW- with a damaged front end there were ALOT of girls that still thought it was just the cutest, coolest car).

Oh, and 'boost creep' is the guy that has 'NOS" and 'TURBO" stickers on his car.

Christi-quote me asking for your opinion. Did I ask for it in this post, or this month, or ever with the exception of one post months ago? NO therefore nullifying everything you said. "I am not trying to be a bitch" rarely is that followed by anything other than a bitch being a bitch-proven here.
Hypnytz-rumor has it no $, no job, =failure(you are)=opinion -worth=0

NZ- Again you make my points better than I can. And I appreciatte it.
Arguing with people here is so obviously an adult arguing with people with NO life experience. Please tell me your ages! Little kids!! Grow up please. Then maybe you will understand the word RESPECT. I dont care what children on there mommies computers think about my RX7,(you shittalkers are so obviously kids), I just am trying to voice that your immaturaty is ruining the forum that entertained RX7 owners a few years ago when you guys were in drivers ed.



THIS WHOLE THREAD IS ABOUT RESPECT, NOT WHAT IS OPINION AND WHAT IS NOT. WHY CANT YOU GUYS GET THAT? Oh yeah its because most kids dont understand respect, and this forum consists mainly of just that-KIDS. If you werent kids you would be taking care of your child, teaching her respect, not working towards your next thousandth post!

lol, WTF does this have to do with what we are talking about? What did I say to instigate this comment? I made no personal attacks on you. The worst thing I said was to quit whining. IF that offends you to the point you must make personal attacks, then I feel sorry for you bud.

IF you read this thread from an objective point of view(probably hard for you to do right now) you'd see that this is a "you-against-the-world" type of thing.

Not only that, but you PM me asking how old I am, and telling me I am immature. In redneck terminology, that is the pot caling the kettle black. Anyone who is mature will refrain doing that kind of stuff, much like I am trying to do now...

As for your attatck/comment towards me, well...

no $? true I am not rich, but I have 2 nice vehicles, close to show worthy, a new house, and lots of nice things. I do well enough, and I am happy, something you are obviously not, or this thread would not exist.

no job? I work on rx-7s and rebuild rotary engines for a living. what better job can there be? if youve ever had to pay a repair bill on a 7, or checked pricing on a rebuilt rotary engine, you know this line of work is not cheap. It isnt making me rich, but its keeping me up, while I help others out. To me, that's good enough.

failure? well, at least I am not ridiculed and poked at everywhere I go, on the forum and in real life. I have been around the FC3s list for about 4 years now, and on this forum since it started. I do not know everything, I learn something new every day, but I feel I am well respected because I try to help others out and because I am in general honest and realistic. Ask around bud, there arent many people who have dealt with me or talked with me who dont like me...can you say the same?

I see you are making a lot of friends in this very thread...

lmfao, boostmotorsports, you're a bum


I've never said much about your car, but Kevin (hypntyz7) is a good guy, and has a loyal following of customers. He has plenty of parts, and fixs our cars (not mine, but just RX-7s in general) for decent prices.

I always liked the color green, and thought maybe that would look good on an FC. But I wouldn't want any normal RX-7 to be confused with your bad impression of a japanese FC.
You are a trainwreck of DIY JDM.
You have some nice stuff, and just ruin it with some tacky garbage on your car.
Do you even care about functionality or are you just in it to say
"I have titanium exhaust"
"Half of my car is made out of carbon fiber but it weighs 2 lbs more than normal"
"It looks just like a JGTC race car, but I've only been to the dragstrip and not a race track"
"My fenders can fit up 13" wide of tires, but I'm running on 19"x6"s"
"I stole my mirrors from an Indy car on display at a Car Themed Restaurant"
"The only reason I put the Integra taillights on, was because they where low enough to fit my extra large Boost Motorsport sticker on"

i am choosing not to read the first page of this. you guys are arguing over NOTHING. you do tend to be a little harsh towards newbies. i try not to rage on them its just a freaking rx7forum. that's all everyone needs to relax and go for a drive in their car's if possible ... LOL
