i used to have the same setup as DCEE there.

 

They both look cool, but very different. I'd like to see pictures of both at night...

 

I can get pics of mine at night. Same as iotus, but my car's black.

 

Now ioTus I really like those compared to the others.

 

a friend told me that the UK s1 rx7s have differant tailights where the indicators are on the corners... anyone got pics of this?

no these old ones look like ****.

if you look at them from any other angle than what is shown above, the light fixture reflects teh colored bubls making it look **** brown.

the clear frosties is about 100% better.

pictures do them NO justice, you really ahve to see them in person.

 

hey DCEE, i like those Euro's on your fb..maybe when i get mine in march, ill give you a call about them. but i noticed the rx-7 writting on the back of your car. i have yet to find anyone else who sports that here. other than me, i know only know tha tyou have it. would you mind telling me what year your car is? because my uncle's fb (mine in march) he says he doesnt remember what year it is, so im just trying to find out what year it is, and start from there. talk to me on suprastyle86 if you have aim. or anybody else that would know.

 

i wouldnt mind knowin how u got the RX-7 in the middle like that, ive been planning on doing that since i got my car, but i wanna put a neon bar light behind it to so taht when i drive it lights up. Couldu give me a description of how ya did it

 

well if dcee isnt here, does anyone else know? this thread was on page 3, so i just thought i would ressurect(spellcheck) it.

 

bumping my own post...

 

come on guys....anybody know this one?

 

know what? how to get ahold of an rx-7 center piece? you could buy them back in the 80's.

i've never seen one for re-sale since then.

 

possible to make?

 

Havn't seen one here in Oz.... but surely not too hard to fabricate if you know the right builder?

 

get some LED's, and hours of free time, i suppose you could make it.

 

well rather than led lights i was thinking of using a neon bar light mounted behind that piece, if theres enough room, havnt really looked there, if there isnt enough room, ill make some lol

 

i think it would look better if the plate was painted, and the "Rx-7" script would be clear, so that it shines rx-7 at night. good idea.

so the rx7 plate was only made as an aftermarket item back in the 80's? they didnt come factory on any years? if so, could you state which years.

 

if soemone can give me a desription of how to get that center piece off ill try and make a badass version and make a how to sometime

 

To get the center bit off: lift up the rear carpeting flap in the very rear middle. there are two nuts on the rear shell. unscrew them. take off the center bit.

 

If you have any experience of fabricating something, or want to try making something... this is a great idea. All you need is the right measurements and you pretty much can do whatever you want. There are no special mounting issues... just 2 nuts... if i had the time or the energy i might do that.

i was thinking about making a chrome one, where the rx-7 would be cut out, with glass over it with a neon light or LED behind it. Chrome might clash with my red paint so i might have to switch to somehting else

 

Sorry for the late response.

<P>

I got the RX-7 piece from a friend of mine who had it laying around. It was a a little scratched up so he didn't want it. I really can't tell you where it is originally from. I am sure it is an old piece that has been around for a long time & was probably made by an aftermarket manufacturer. The reason I believe it is and aftermarket is b/c the mounting bolts didn't even line up to the cars holes. I had to drill new holes in the rear of the car. For somereason I think it may be from Japan, just hunch from my vague memory.

<P>

I may have a pic of it at night but it is probably on my work computer. I will have to look for it on Monday.

<B>
for now I uploaded a couple more pics...these are before I put on the RX-7 'plate'

 

I don't know what to my first pic I posted so here it is again...

 

I started making the rear RX-7 design. The hardest part is finidng the materials and getting a good stensil. Ill fill you all in once i finish. Hopefully ill have mine installed by the end of this week, minus the lighting, because i havnt decided how i want to go about it.

 

Jim, if you want a nice resolution independent stencil, I did a vector version of the logo for my shirts. Give the word and the size, and I'll send you something you can print out.
