Not to mention that we won't be doing any ricer bullshit roll races either.

seriously though, I don't see why it's so hard to believe that I can appreciate a quick car, even if it does whip me. besides, i've always liked RX-7's [shrug]
LOL!

Hey, I didn't arrange the race! Not only that, I've never been dyno tuned.

Oh, and I know you appreciate the '7.

Dude... last time he went to the dyno he did no tuning and his car was was running far from perfect.
His AFR's were a little to close to the lean side, his plugs were fouled and he wasn't even holding full boost to redline.

i have the N1 single passenger exit. its nice deep and smooth. im thinking of removing the resonator it comes with. too quiet.

Your not going to let us know? They remind me of Cobra R wheels.

Lol, if I knew what brand they were I'd tell you.

I painted over their centercaps, which I *believe* had the brand name... They came with the Turbo II when I bought it, but at the time they weren't a big "selling point" to me, so I never really paid attention.

This is from another thread:

I finished them off with the Duplicolor "Clear" wheel paint (which has some flake in it). Needless to say, I was very impressed with the way it turned out.

Oh, and does anyone notice my "custom" centercaps? Yeah...

The last thing I did before taking it out for a spin was cleaning, masking and spraying my front and rear calipers with the left-over paint from the wheels. I finished the calipers off my sanding the paint off the "Mazda" logo and giving them bonus steez-points.
