my 1st first gen

well boys and gaaarrilas, here is my 1st gen, i copied the STI with the flat black paint cuz my paint was dead but its cool cuz rx-7s are hella cooler so it all works out in the end, so here's the pics. As for the strut bar its all taped up due to my retarded friend. i told him to tape off a one part while i was putting my tranny in because the strut was grounding off the AC bracket and blowing my fuses. so now its duct taped red.... ya.... the car has 285k miles on the orignal motor, i bought it from the orignal owner. and its pretty much dent free and RUST FREE!, has 1 or 2 litle dings thats abot it

Nice lookin ride there. Did you just make a bracket to hook the strut bar up to? I was thinking about doing something simialar. I dont think it will be long for you to not miss your FC anymore.

I can attest it runs great,Ive driven it.Thats the good ol' SE 13B for ya,they go forever.
Thats the beauty of the west coast,no rust problems unless you live right on the ocean.Mine sat in a field for 4 years and it still has zero rust at 225,000 miles.
Nice job on the flat black Neil,much better than peeling silver.Just dont go putting any aluminum Pepboys wings on the back!

looks pretty good in flat black, couldn't help but notice the corrado in the garage though, can't wait to pay off my other car so i can finally get a corrado and work on that, for now the 1st gen gets most of my attention and time.

yup the strut bar is for a FC, because my friend orderd one for his FD but they gave him one with 4 holes instead of 3 so he gave it to me, dont worry im not gonna put any gay wings or **** on my car, im probley just gonna put some mods into this motor and stick with it to get me through colege, but for now im probley just gonna get headers,catback exhaust, and ignition and other cosmetic things to keep it running good

Nice looking 7, dude! Engine looks sharp, & body strait. Get a Grant GT steering wheel & the interior will be perfect. BTW: is that your purse on the passenger floor?

yup it was a CD case on the floor, and yes i guess FC strut bars fit but they get really close to the alternator and touch the AC bracket a little, i had to make the holes a little bigger but it fit in th end. thanks for the compliments guys

This is either a poor attempt at sarcasm or a perfect example of a post ***** who reads nothing and just looks at the pictures and posts "cool"
