all ya gotta remember is wigglepup

as in Ralph Wiggum's imaginary pet.

There's a link there saying 'RX-7 stuff' - click it and you're in to the secret ReX site.

I'm in the process of moving it to a dedicated site (Gear Girls - it'll be sports car parts and hot babe.. er... parts) and when I do the link will point to the new address.

thats cool.. you wouldnt happen to have any pictures of the tri-gauge stereo holder would you? i would like to see what it looks like. i want to stick some gauges in my interior, plus something to dress up where my radio is. plus with the short shifter, i need a new boot. so instead of buy in a cheap one from autozone.. i figure i would help you get rid of some stuff

someone wanna ship me some busted 52mm gauges? They're horribly expensive and the kit looks like spindly metal without anything installed in it...

BTW, one of the site owners emailed me and told me he plans to set up a site carrying Mazda parts, kind of like mine, and would I like to close down my site and list on his instead?

I don't plan to, but that'll create more competition...

Unless he is HERE, on this forum, working with the people, for a common goal (as yourself), I don't see the point.

As far as I am concerned, in a realtively short time, you have proven yourself as the guy "who makes it happen" in the 1st Gen community.

EDIT:

And who is this?

even though i have never actually purchased something from someone on the forum, if i do, i know that i will come to you guys if its custom made. i would just feel better about buying something from someone on the forum who has taken the time, to make, and perfect something. like the shiftboot and gauge cluster, and im eventually (when i get more funds) going to purchase one of those carbon fiber hoods. i wouldnt feel right choosing someone who doesnt talk on the forums against someone who does.

You had linked tothis site once before in another thread, and when I went there, there was only 1 on the counter . I think I might have been the first one there, lol. I like the site. I actually bookmarked it too. I was kinda thinking about some stuff youve got on there .

hey mantis, im curious
im on your wigglepup website right now, and im wondering, if i order a new shift boot from you for a first gen 12a car, how will it stay on to the bottom of the base, cause almost all of my pegs are missing, and ive tried to glue the stock one back on but no luck so far

double sided tape anchors it nicely to the bottom of the plastic surround - I did that all summer and it never let go.

ok time for my stupid question of the day. What size is 52mm in normal terms. Like inches. i got some new gauges for my car and i was wondering if they will fit. if not i wil have to go take down some road signs and build my own panel. Scratch that. Stealling road signs to make dash parts is illegal. And i would never do that. ;>

metric IS normal terms for most of the world

52mm is about 2 inches, I believe, but I'm guessing.
