Sweet deal. Always wanted someone to do this stuff for me. I don't have the time/patience/know-how for photochops. How about digitally adding a set of Respeed Coilovers for me (1.5-2" drop. Whatever looks best!)?
Then maybe a seperate pic with the same drop, a vented hood and some 18" wheels...?? I dunno how much time you need to kill, but if you could show me a bunch of different wheels on it it'd help me make up my mind for when it gets a different bolt pattern and bigger brakes... (Hopefully this winter sometime...)

this looks like a ok drop, 1.5ish inches, also made the colors a bit better


and what kind of rims did you have in mind?

Nice. I like it. Now, to save up the cash... lol
I haven't given a ton of thought to the rims, since I want to do everything at once. Rims, rear end, bigger brakes, and coilovers are a lot of cash to save....

I've always been partial to something in a simple five spoke ...

Or


I don't think meshies would really suit, but I'm open to anything.

Don't go 18".. go 17"
Yeah, I'd probably do 17's in the front, but I dunno, Some 17;s still look smallish to me. But I guess the kit will probably help things...

im game for this.

Here you go. Lets start simple.

How about making the front bumper the same color as the car.




Then, give it the same color scheme as this car:



Im looking for a gunmetal top with a red pinstripe on the bodyline, and the stock silver the rest of the way down. Do the wheels the same gunmetal at the top half. Post a pic before and after the wheel color change. If you can, make the front caliper red.

Thank you.

Thanks! Front air dam is one that our local RX7 guru has a mold for. I think it's pretty similar to the Erebuni one. The body kit is custom. All made out of sheet metal... Had to shorten the lip to get it to line up. I had a good bodyman....

lwnslw-- thats the color scheme im definitely going with. im just not 100% sure on the color of the wheels yet.

rotaryboy23-- just as lwnslw said, www.re-speed.com complete conversion. very easy to install and awsome quality. if you want a stronger rearend, the moser axles add some strength, but if you are going to be pushing big power and using slicks, youll need to swap to a bigger rearend, or get creative. i plan on getting creative, once i need the strength, and then if that doesnt work ill go with a toyota 8" rearend.

how about we make things a lot simpilar? how about just making the front end silver? i just cant decide what color it needs to be.
