How is grafting another car's front end onto an FB rice? You're seriously joking right? If you can't understand why that's rice, you're a lost cause lol.

come on now i just got knocked for saying stuff to someone about their user name,
he does drive a rx7 doesnt he
in fact he owns a couple if im correct
just cause he dont like the dated 80's front end doesnt mean he doesnt like the rx7

i dont like afros and shoes with fish tanks on the bottom,
but doesnt mean i dont like 70's music

I kinda like it, dont much care for the silver/black thing. But thats just me..

You can ALWAYS have 10 people think its cool and another 10 that think its crap

To each his own..Opinions are like buttholes everyone has one, and most of them stink

And I think im the old man of the group im 30 ...

Wow, you're almost old enough to have bought a 1st generation new!

I wonder how much fun that car is on a rainy day w/out any windshield wipers! Good thing he painted the wiper posts too, otherwise I guess they might rust or something?

I don't care for the racing stripes, but the body kit is alright. It looks kind of wierd on a car that old. You see Supras, 3 gen RX7, 300ZXs, etc with those most of the time.

i'm 27 and i think rice is just another way for us to have a good chuckle during the day. "hehe... nice fartcan there, buddy" . i kinda like that kit. it makes the front more aerodynamic yet still keeps a bit of the pointy nose style that is the mark of the 1st gen. but leave the shelby stripes on the shelbys. and for f***'s sake, put some power behind that look! all show and no go is just plain stupid!

I think part of the reason I've become so biased towards these shogun kits is that many of the cars I see with them really are all show and no go. So everytime I see one I'm stereotyping the whole look with that association. And it's gotten so reinforced that I aesthetically can't stand them anymore (never really liked em much though).

As much as I love the sweet lines of the stock first gen, if you show me a shogun kitted FB with a big turbo setup that pulls over 1g on the road coarse I promise not to complain

Hell, I'll be 45 in October, so I guess I'm the oldest so far on this threat. Hey BadAssRx7 who put that kit on that car together?
I must congratulate the guy for the great work done on the car. As most of the guys said in the threat, everyone will have their own opinions, but credit must be given to the creactivity on the final product. I myself like the looks of your creation, and a 20b under the hood will defninetly quiet everyone one on the threat.... that car with a 20b will be a killer.....

1982 GSL Mariah kit

What is he asking for? and what engine is under the hood?
