New FB owner - Hi all.

Just wanted to introduce myself.
I bought this one today: https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...598#post974598
plus his se parts car.
My little brother already has two fb's (Gamble302), and I've been on the forum looking around for quite awhile, so I'm not exactly a noob, but I'm sure I'll need some help at some point. Hopefully not soon.

I'll post some better pics of her nice and clean soon.

Nice car.

Those rims don't look to have as much of a lip as mine, I wonder if the offset is different or what?

Maybe different widths. I think these are 6" wide in front and 7" in back. I'll measure them within the next couple days.
Nice to meet you. My brother has nothing but good things to say about you. Hell, we were even considering driving to get your fb if we hadn't found this one.

Oh you are referring to Manntis's face in the Avatar. We've already talked about it. He likes it. It makes some guys Jealous because their girlfriends think he's in the Backstreet Boys or something.

Besides, he IS WATCHING YOU.

How else would, "The RX-7 Club knows about you.."

Nothing wrong with that. But that is why we have a "Vendors" Sticky at the top, so it won't be in every post. The sig is fine, just a little "Large, Bold, and Multicolored for me"

I guess it's a little too... (What's the word?....)
