That's because the other side "fell off"...as we all know, an extremely common occurrence...but fear not, it will only cost $20 to fix.
The "custom made Mazda centercaps" are a nice touch, I think...certainly right in keeping with the high level of detailing apparent elsewhere.

It is completely consistent with the rest of the ad that he misspelled the name of his hometown.
Must be something in the water.

The random painted interior pieces set it off.

The only thing I could see that I would like out of that car is selling a TII hood to somebody and seeing the shock on their face when they see the color.

^Exactly what I was thinking... and it's a 1998 model to boot!

I think I'm actually going to call the guy, just for ***** and giggles.

Don't worry. All the smoke will clear up after you put 20 bucks into a new exhaust tip.

Don't forget: " Rx7 SHOW car color changing paint new rims system turbo"

The turbo must be hidden under the motor or something. Or in the trunk.

It also says it has A/C but in the pic of the engine, it looks to me like the belt is off the compressor.

Buy It Now at 4900? It's a steal!

So I emailed the seller on ebay. I said the wheels and hood aren't custom because the wheels are stock on convertible models and the hood is a stock turbo hood. I also said that $4900 is asking way too much. This is the reply I recieved:

actually the wheels r bbs and does it look like a convertable no... and the hood is a custom vented turbo hood dont u see the custom paint and flames on it... thank you for ur oppinion

I think the seller opted to go the ebay route because he/she would be able to sucker some poor schmuck into paying that much for the car.

Yeah, he got pretty pissed off at me and said "we'll see what you guys have to say after the auction". I actually reported the action as a fraudulent claim on ebay so we'll see how that goes.

I linked him this thread btw.

How about instead of mocking the person behind an alias on a car forum, you show the owner of that car the factual information?

He TOLD the owner the factual information, and the owner clearly got pretty indignant.

Take into account how horribly he spelled his location. Obviously there's a few brain cells missing, so he probably does not understand that there are more RX-7's out there than his.
