wow, good info on the fire extinguisher....(i'll use it when i make fun of ricers)

i also had that sony amp for a little while

but overall it looks nice, except i would of also gotten that lip painted.

 

Looks good man.

Not a fan of the seat color but the car overall looks awesome.

I cant wait to put on my oem skirts.

 

Looks good! Since the 99-02 specs didnt come with those sideskirts I'm going to opt out, never the less looks great!

 

Did you think about spraying that front lip? Would you ?

 

What suspension are you running?

 

adamtassell: I did think about painting the front lip plenty of times but when I had the stock lip paintted, It looked like **** after the first incedent, so i figured this way, It wont like **** if I would accedently hit something, my car is really low.

1QWIK7: Im running Apexi EVX's for the suspension

rynberg: I know that.....

Thanks again for your compliments. As for new pictures... I haven't done anything else but buy a japanese license plate for the front. Might carry some ricer taste to it but i didn't like the empty gap that much and does look pretty good with it on.

 

How much those BBS LM's set you back?

 

Hey, don't want to start anything, but is it true that your parents brought that for you? Thats what i heard from a few members (i even saw the argument between you guys ).

 

Fatal Lyon: Its true that my father did buy me the car it self 4 years ago when I was 16 for christmas. But it didn't look anything like it does now. It was a real pos. Seats riped, rust, no ac.... the list goes on and had 150k miles. Heres some pictures.



This pictures dont really do it justice on how messed up the car was. People laughed at me when I brought it to school. It also had a huge oil leak and was so slow that I would lose to stock civics.... As the years went on I slowly upgraded piece by piece. My father does pay for my insurance and everything soo when i picked up job and paid for almost all my aftermarket parts and repairs. So yes he bought be the car, but I feel like I should take credit for what it is today.

PS: So what if he bought me a 9 thousand dollar car. All my freinds got 30k+ cars, which they didn't pay for either.... And no one rags on them.

As for being young owning a car like this, I've learned to respect this car, I've put some much money and effort that I feel like I deserve to drive this car. Plus, my passion for cars is only gets greater with every drive I take. If you ask anyone that knows me on this forum, they would say the same thing about me.

Sorry for the long explination but I hate all the haters out there. Thanks for being the only polite person out there on this issue.


AFGmoto1976: Alot!

 

very nice

 

Very nice looking FD, it's similar to how I have mine setup. I've been considering red seats in a red FD, so it was nice to see these pics. Not painting the lip was the right move, as you mentioned with the first scrape it looks like ****. Good job on the build, you have a car to be proud of !

P.S. On the front plate, you could always get one of these:

 

^ Where did you get your rx7 license plate?

 

There is a group buy that is going on. Add your name to the list.

You shouldn't really have to justify to anyone how you got the car. It's yours no matter what, whether it was a present or you paid for it.

 

nice more pic's

 

omg i totally agree everyone rags on me cause im 18 with a FD my dad bought brand new and kept all these years mine only has 34k miles on it but its been sitting out in vegas heat all its life so paint worn and interior shot like hell. i decided that im gonna be doing the thing you are im in the same position as you parents bought the car and pay for my insurance... but i cant afford jack squat on this car. i mean what you did to your car must have costed you about 4k in parts alone.

 

great looking 99spec.
the skirts and mudflaps make the wing look less out of place and big :P
wheels look awesome
