Man that looks really nice Tranquil! I like that wheel too... where'd you find it at? AND OT: You still up for taking the other 2 rims from MODRIFT7 so I can get mine?

 

The wheel is about $225 new from driftfactory.com Personal wheels are hard to come by in the United States, I looked at one that was 175euros from Italy, but I'd be better off just getting it from Driftfactory.

It uses the standard boss Nardi kit. Personal is the racecar version of Nardi pretty much.


Nah, I'm going to pass on those wheels. I'm just going to get the other two Almex wheels as pictured up there.

 

1st gen Rexes are NOT chick magnets. They're a little too cutesy, and girls generally aren't that attracted to vehicles, contrary to popular belief. Perhaps they'll approve of your ability to work with your hands though... that's a useful feature for the distant future (girls think 20 years ahead of males it seems).

My Nova makes small children cry and girls cover their ears. NOT a chick magnet. My FB is a beater. Somehow, I've done alright for myself

By the way... nice car! I like the blacked out look on the trim. I wouldn't mess with the interior, its so clean!

I have to disagree. Maybe it depends on the condition of your car, mine is defenitely not a beater, but this car has attracted tons of girls (almost as many as my stunning good looks ), of all ages (I actually had a random 70 year old grandma make a point of talking to me about my car). For a while when I was new to this school I was known to lots of the girls as "that guy with the hot red car".

And about it being a chick car, there are a few guys who think that, typically the kind of guys that wont touch a car unless its "American muscle". Most of their minds can be changed by either a little spirited ride in "that little chick car" or by leaving them in the dust.

 

They're not really chick cars. Miata's are chick cars. Rexes are just little and "cute."

Case in point: one of my better friends has a Datsun 280Z, it's pretty much just like a Rex minus the rotary power (same basic shape). The kid couldn't get tail if it jumped into his lap and started bouncing . It seems like everytime we're out though, some DUDE walks over and starts talking to him. It's a dude magnet, not a chick magnet.

I think a car that sound EXACTLY like my weed whacker just isn't that great to girls. A stock purple Honda Civic can be just as enthralling for them. Don't give your car credit for your game. I drove a shitty '86 Olds Cutlass Ciera for a couple years. It never effected the volume or quality of female "friends" I've had.

I suppose the best argument is that a nice shiny car can be used as BAIT for a female. Something to start a conversation or get noticed, but don't think for a second that you can keep a girl around just because you have a TT intercooled bridgeported 13b under the hood of your classic jap sports car. They, quite frankly, don't give a ****.

yeah, my car has been described as "cute" and "hot" by girls. i agree with whoever said that chicks like guys that are good with their hands. They find it attractive that i can work on and fix my car.

or maybe they are attracted to the smell of rotary fumes...

~b.k.

 

I agree, the interior is clean. But the seats don't hold for ****, and the steering wheel is to far away.

Who said I can't be practical AND stylish?

I never said my car is a chick magnet, but aside from the BMX bike I'm having custom made to match the RX-7 I have to walk everywhere. Chicks don't dig that.
