ever seen a riced out 7....me either

has anyone ever seen a riced out 7? i have seen millions of ricers, but never a 7. i think they are just so awesome that they are immune to rice. also, has anyone tried to figure out why ricers do what they do? maybe its one of the mysteries of the universe.

A guy came to our region's autocross once with an early GSL with Japanese character decals all over it, home-made rain gutter bodykit and a HUGE wing on the back.

But the real stumper was this guy was a pure redneck, mullet and all. Told me he sold his mustang for the 7, and is having a great time "modding" his 7.

Ok.

I'd like to think the first gen Rx's are "classics" now. Who wants to **** up a choice classic?

Most ricers are into a lifestyle, just like hip-hop or whatever. They generally stick to the Honda's and Mitsubishi's, occassionally a Nissan... The movement wasn't around when we were first introduced to 7's, Z's, etc... it began with later model Japanese rides... and I think that's what's been driven into the lifestyle's subconsciousness.

Another point - I think the 1st gen RX body shape is so minimalistic and clean, it doesn't lend itself well to modification, as do the more curvy Eclipse, etc.

i havent seen a riced 1st gen, but i have seen a riced FC... two of them actually.

one was a vert, https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...hreadid=196874 seen there, and another, a GXL, spotted in my city.

it also has a white single wiper conversion, and a large windshield sticker that says 'fast & furious motorsports' or something like that.

Fast and Furious Motorsports? Sounds like a rip off from a bad movie...

I rarely see cars from before the early 90s riced up. I think this is because most ricers are from this day and age and want to rice up cars in their generation (even though I am 19 and fall under the ricer age sterotype). Another reason may be due to the fact that ricers get into more car accidents and thus are unable to keep their rice cookers for more than 3 years--all because of their smaller brain size (I'm just kiddin ).

FS

Of the three 7s I have, no external wings have been or will be glued onto 'em.

Ricer mods...

I don't want to sound but I kind of like the side skirts...

Are those stock turbo?

The rear bumper cover is better than most, as well.

Unfortunately, as all other cars, including Geo Metro's, the seven is indeed susceptible to rice. I have seen a few.

I hate to post pictures to someones car, as I really like the owner. I just don't care for his taste in dressing his 7. Anywho, hope he won't kill me...





Honestly, it is a well modded car with plenty of real performance gains. I just don't like the styling.

Ditch the wing, the use of yellow, and the stickers, and it would rock.

oh and I love when people do the EUROPEAN wiper conversion on a Japanese car. Almost makes as much sense as the FC i saw with one of those German license plates on the front. Of course, he probably honestly thought his car was german-made.

You can find them on any Mitsubishi Lancer OZ Rally edition. They will fit on a 12a just fine... As long as you do a GSL-SE suspension swap, install longer lugstuds, and use 1/4" spacers. At least that is how I got them to go on my 12a car.

external combustion engine: combustion occurs outside of the cylinder ie. steam engine where the pressure is piped in from a boiler.
