is there anywhere i can get one of those stickers? i guess whoever tinted the windows pulled it off. now the tint is gone and i want the sticker back on there. did they come on the 84's? i know my 85 had it

ah crap i meant to post this in the non-tech section. sorry

 

well, i have heart that the IMSA decal was applied at the port by Mazda USA when the 7's arrived in the U.S.. some owners have even found the original backing under the sound insulation mat. someone was considering making reproduction decals. here's my thread from 03 about the sticker when i was all but a newb. has some info that might help you: https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generation-specific-1979-1985-18/imsa-gtu-sticker-244396/

 

That's scary reading that old post Dave, it goes all the way back to 2003!

Here's some photos of the stickers on my various 84/85 GSLs, they came in several versions:

I want to tint mine but I'm afraid they'll remove that sticker even if I explicitly tell them not to do so which is why I haven't done it yet.

 

^The tint would look funky around the sticker i'm sure.

Just remove it very very carefully & apply clear adheasive to it and re-apply...

 

Easier said said than done with an old brittle sticker, I'd imagine.

 

Where there is a will there's a way!

I would love to see those reproduced. If I could get a really good pic, I will ask my local guy about seeing what he can do. I would need exact dimensions.

 

any updates on these...i need one too....thanks

 

someone would have to reproduce the sticker as they will never again be available from Mazda.

 

I'd buy one. My '84, which I bought new never had one of those stickers. I do however have an RX-7 Club of America decal in the driver's side quarter glass. I am trying to figure out how to reproduce it since the glass is scratched and will probably need to be replaced. I haven't tried taking high res phots of it yet. I am concerned about perspective problems since the glass is curved. The weather is supposed to be nice this weekend so I may go collect the car and give it a try. My thoughts were that if I can get a good shot, I could horizontally flip it in photoshop and then print the now backwards photo on decal paper. That would allow me to adhere it to the inside of the window. Any thoughts on that idea? If it works, couldn't it be used to inexpensively recreate the IMSA decals as well?

 

I can probably make it if nobody is ahead of me already but I would need some education:

How many versions? Did each year have a different version? When did it start (year)? When did it end (year)?

thank you.

 

As far as i know, it changed every year, since mazda kept winning. i think it was 1980-1985.

On a side note, i wish i could find one of these posters!

 

Holly's got one of those posters (the one in the photo, in fact). I tried to get her to let go of it a few years ago but no.



I'll twist her arm again at the September OGTA meeting.

Here's some virgins of the IMSA sticker, from my various 84/85 GSLs

 

 

I greatly appreciate all the information. Based on said decals, would be correct for me to assume that the year printed in the middle would be the decal for said year. For example, the decal below is for 1982? And the above decal is for 1984 and so forth.

Furthermore, it looks like 1982 had two versions?

What are dimensions? 3" circular?

Thank you very much in advance.

 

Now that I look at them again, they shouldn't be that hard to reproduce..


Good luck with that. He's pretty much disappeared.
I had sent him a GSL-SE badge to make overlays, and he never
responded back.

 

i check ebay everyonce in a while but no luck. if for some odd reason i find a couple ill let you know!

 

worst case scenereo i have a spare quarter window with the decal..i can either attempt to remove it in one piece or take pics with measurements..

 

Please take pics and measure....thank you...I do not want you to waste a decal....

There's one I found on eBay just now. Coincidentally, I was looking for the poster shown above, lol.

 

I just bought one, we shall see how they actually look.

 

Damnit, they wont ship to Canada. Shame it wasn't an 85 decal.

 

Im still here, and I log in often now. I was really busy for a few months and was unable to enter the forum.

I still have the badge, I scanned and vectorized it, but I havent cut any overlays yet. I kept the envelope with your address and I will send you a couple for free as soon as I produce the overlays.
I´m sorry if I dissapointed you, I truly am, but my wife had a complicated pregnancy and our new baby is a full time job.

 

Sorry to hear about the complications ... Had some bad ones with my daughter nearly 3 years ago now. Hope the baby's doing well.

Any chance we can get vectors posted somewhere of each of them? I'd love to get a shirt made up. See them now and then on Ebay but never in my huge size.
