Man iotus, im on 56k, but theres just something about your car. Now im gonna have to sit here for like 20 mins loading the pics, but its worth it. I cant pinpoint wat it is about your car, but its just, its just undescribable. Maybe its the color, maybe its that it is one of the best kept 7's ive ever seen, i dont know. But man it just draws me to it. I hope mine is like that someday.

Looking really good!!!

Im guessing the reason why everything looks so good is the colour and the clear lights really go well together, along with the wheels....And now your turbo'd...So thats even better!!

Hey thanks!! That really means a lot to me. I really appreciate it.

I think one thing that I like best about my car is that its very simplistic, yet custom at the same time. At least this is what i'm trying to achieve. I'm trying not to go too overboard ;-)

What's the gauge between the fan controls?

Just to stack it on, your car is awesome. I wish mine will one day be half as awesome as yours.

You have got to have one of the best looking stock body RX-7's I have ever seen. Its the little things that make it look nice. Now if you got a nice stock rear spoiler on that thing it would be complete. I have the one peice urethane lip spoiler that supposely came on the car. Got it from myrxbad. Will look sweet when I get it painted and installed.

Awesome. I really like the look you've gotten - under the hood, inside and outside.

Thanks guys! (thanks alex;-))

The exhaust is loud. Here is the setup:

2.5" Racingbeat downpipe
2.5" Racingbeat presilencer
2.5" to 3" flare
3" glasspack (generic brand, he said it would hold the heat).
3" n1 style muffler.

I think if anything i may chop out the glasspack and n1 and put in some magnaflows like Alex's eventually.

Its loud, but its really mellow. The spooling of the turbo is MUCH more noticable than the exhaust though.

Looking good Iotus. It's good to see your car coming together after all the work you've put in it.
