when you're posting below the post options it should say "manage attatchments" and you can upload pics from your hard drive

or email them to me and I'll host them for you anti_tranquil @ yahoo. com

Oh Steve, you make up for it being rotary savy

When I get the pics I'll toss them up for you via my photobucket, since I've already wasted my RX7club attatchment bandwith. I really need to clean up my attatchment space.

Actually, Kyle. I take back my statement I sent you in that email.

Your moulded rear bumper looks really good. Just get yourself a front airdam and it'll complete the car.

I would paint the center section behind your license plate white to match the car, and then tint the taillights black along with the lenses, and still I say you should paint those wheels black.

Interesting rear bumper treatment, I like the wing its not too much at all, can't see the scoop very clearly but it looks nice and subtle. Nice roll on the fender lips for the observant.

Yeah, its been a low down secrect that stock honda civic wings will fit our cars. All you need to do is cut a hole for the ant.

Oh snap, I've let the secret out.

Its a nice car, Kyle. Take care of it.

It depends on how you drive and what sort of powerband you want. If you dig the holley you got on there now, then you can always sell your weber for something else.

Personally I went with a Sterling carb for a lot of reasons. It was readily available for me, bolt on and go, and offers great tunability.

webers rock IMHO, I currently run a Mikuni sidedraft.

The elimination of the rear bumper is svaing you about 40lbs if the replacement isn't too heavy.

I wouldn't take the center off, I would paint it to match. Taking it off shows some ugly metal, in my opinion.

I do like that rear end, but wonder how much parachute effect it has, I would vent it to stop it catching air, but I'm nuts about performance.....lol

It doesn't look like it drags its *** as much as the 5.0 bumper Jimmy was running on his old Blue FB. So parachuting isn't that much, I wouldn't think.

Although a vent idea wouldn't be harmful.
