I don't mean to be insensitive, but... I'm confused. What's going on here? What are these pictures for? I mean... and I'm sincerely not trying to be rude, but... The bay looks like a manmade reef, complete with barnacles. The interior is destroyed. And while the shifter is nice, there is nothing in these pictures that separates this car from any other car, other than the fact that it happens to be manufactured and modeled similarly to this forum's car of choice. Honestly, the GTO in the back cought my eye before the Rx7...... ironic only because I hate domestics.

Normally i dont post anything on stuff like this but i just found your remarks downright rude. I know there is freedom of speech and all but there was no reason for it.

You should learn not to be so strawberry shortcake. Don't point your stiff finger at me when I'm making my opinions based on the danger that is being ignored.

is that similar to a miata short shifter if so im deffinately getting one. and also even if the enginebay a little dirty all it takes is some degreaser and and some time and itll look damn good, also complaining about how dirty its well a hose and water can take care of that. i dont under stand the people that get on threads and call the person who posts an idiot ans slam on people. isnt this made for people who like the same things and help with other peoples probs. well any ways slap some mods on that baby and have some fun. just remeber

also if you want to clean up under the hood get in there with some 150-200 grit sand paper scrape that stuff off and then go with about 500-800 grit and fine sand it and then spray some rustoleum and wala good as new. just a helpful suggestion

And the engine bay is not just a little dirty. The rust in the bay is going to eat that metal away, which is bad seeing as how it's located near the strut towers which is an area under pressure from beneath. Now for the last time, *I AM NOT TRYING TO BE RUDE*. I asked what the deal was with the car. Come on guys, it's a forum. *Slaps forehead* No one is going to get sad and kill themselves right?

I second the "Time to break out the sandpaper" comments. Your audio would also sound better if you balanced out the equalizer away from full bass and no treble. You're going to be having rust problems on your hood/headlight covers soon, it looks like your roof, too. You may want to be proactive on that, and sand that down. a full paint job would be best of course, but rattle can can work for a while if done properly.
That shifter is rediculously low.. How is it to shift?
Looks like the start of a great project

Not a bad car
However as already stated get on that rust otherwise your car is just gonna fall apart....
The shifter isnt bad... I look forward to finding out how you did it cause the stock shifter is just WAY to long.
Enjoy your ride regardless of what anyone thinks... Hell its a 7!

I made the short shifter my self and the shift **** with the cf insert and the cf insert in the wheel But i just bought the car I got it for 200.00 and it runs great i know that it does not look that good right now but i plan to make more carbon fibre parts such as the body kit and hood etc. and i am going to clean up the engine bay as well as turbocharger install.

I think the original poster has every right to point a certain "stiff finger" in your direction.
