Yay, we should be able to have fun come spring. PS-Thanks for the hook up. That car is a bucket!!!!! But the parts I need are all there and that's all I care about!!! I already went this morning to the shop and took off the calipers and lines and such to start cleaning and rebuilding them. I'm also glad the rear suspension is decent, mine blew out 15 years ago.

Don't paint it orange like I think I heard you say you were considering. Please. I beg you. There is too much orange in this state as it is.

I might not, i'll take a vote...I just need something that stands out, like something that people at the track are like.."Sweet the *insert color here* Rx-7 is here" Something to make it a conversation peiece an icon if you will... So people say "damn that *insert color here* rx7 is ugly but man it's fast!"

Do it babyshit yellow.

That will garner attention. And if you can't find that colour on the shelf, just dig up a diaper somewhere and take it in.

"Damn, that baby **** yellow RX-7 is here. It's but ugly but damn fast."

You could just go into a paint store and show them a sample of the colour you want and they mix it for cheap.

Or, like you said, just learn how to mix it yourself.
