yes!! lol he a straight cono. lol thanks, but soon we will get rims/wheels with some offset.. rx8 wheels look good, but time for some lip!
thanks, you should have seen his old race cars.. sickk. but he doesnt have em anymore. mere memories
imo, looks better than rust. and the paint is good to 1200` so not worried there.

Though the oem of the rotor tells the consumer to expected it to wear off at some point. I think it looks legit, matches the caliper.
Now if they weren't slotted, and THEN he painted stripes on them - you'd be reading a different comment here.
Good job!

+1... I know this is just a difference of opinion, but some rotors actually come like this.
Though the oem of the rotor tells the consumer to expected it to wear off at some point. I think it looks legit, matches the caliper.
Now if they weren't slotted, and THEN he painted stripes on them - you'd be reading a different comment here.
Good job!

anyways for what it is i think it looks good.
now the next step on which were waiting for is the whole top. instead of vinyl, its going to be the same material that you see on newer bmw's. then our fabric guy is going to re do the targa top the same so everything looks legit.
motor wise, we have a whole turbo 2 torn down. but either we build it up, or just buy a jap motor twin turbo, trans, ecu, harness, and driveshaft delivered for 2300..

this car is hella fun tho on the freeway.. turbo lag.. ill deal with it. cuz at 5k rpm, this baby fly's!!!

hey guys sorry for ignoring this forum. im really busy with my car build (69 nova), and we've been really busy with this slow_fc! we actually bought a 87 TII and swapped EVERTHING over to the 91, we even bought another 90 vert with only 90k.. ohh and we bought our first race-car-to-be. a 84 rx7.
