I absolutely must know what body kit that is, where you got it, and how much. That is perfect. Except for the spoiler. I like a nice round @ss.

I really like that color. In fact, I have a friend with an Audi TT Quattro with a very similar paint color - I liken it to the color of the 'secret sauce' on a McDonalds Big-Mac!

Very classic looks,

Very nice paint work. Colour is not bad. Not too flashy, but not totally subdued.

LOL Ryan. Hey (hijack) you make what fly?

Those side skirts look just like mine. I got them off ebay. They came in a wingswest box so i figured they were wingswest.

Carl, i can make anything fly, as long as i have enough pixie dust(dont ask me, i have no idea what im talking about.)

New RX-7 owner pictures

I am new to RX7 club and trying to reply with more info and pics.It's a base 83'.
The colour is 2004 Audi TT " Mango Orange in base/clear.(look changes in different light ).
I picked up the body parts used, and I'm not sure of the make of each piece.
Engine is very stock 12A, with K&N filters and Racing Beat header and pipes to a Monza muffler.
Eibach springs,KYB shocks,KVR drilled rotors & pads,CP Racing front strut brace,
15X7 wheels with 195/50/15 Potenza tires , posi rear axle , VW antena.
Attempted install of Ractive seats but passenger seat was too high so I'm back to stock seats ( could be 2nd. gen ? )My other toy is a Probe GT Turbo.
The RX-7 is a lot more fun to drive. It's great to hear a lot of positive responce.
Thanks.

Do you find any variance in your coolant temperatures due to that license plate frame in the intake duct?

I'm just curious, since I have heard anecdotal evidence that this restricts airflow and causes high engine heat. Again, very nice,
