Nice Car you got there. Except I don't like the racing stripes too much. Maybe if the car were black or somthing they would look good.

Btw, Nice Photography of the car there. Musta had a pro camera man take those pics =P

i am normally not a fan of that shade of blue, but it looks beutiful...

what size wheels are those.. those are the kosie's that i have wanted. it is nice to finally see how they look on a seven.

mperformance

Yeah man are those the Kosei's in Tirerack? are those 15" with 110mm lug pattern?

take the stripes off....lovely car

AreExSeven

Well, Since he's not answering the questions, I will.

1) Yes, thise wheels are the 15" Kosei's from Tirerack.com
2) The paint is the normal 82 Metallic Stardust Blue or whatever, just repainted
3) When the trim was removed, there were a few small holes, but the bodyshop filled them in
4) Seats were $200 from a friend with an FD who changed his interior to black and didn't need em anymore
5) To mount the FD seats, we removed the brackets from the bottom of the FB seats, attached extensions to the back, and bolted the brackets to the bottom of the FD seats. Then you need to run a crossbar from one of the brackets to the floor bracket to make it fit because the FD seats mounting points are narrower than the FB's
6) I doubt he would wanna trade

Sorry Brad, but you weren't answering

riffraff

what do you think of those kosei's in a larger wheel.. maybe 16 or 17??

areexseven, did you make all of the extensions and crossbars, or is it something that you able to find prefabed... i really need new seats, and would definatly consider getting a pair of fd ones if the price was right

I believe that its just held on with nasty glue/double sided tape...Anyone know how to get that stuff off?

Brad bought some steel welding material of some sort from the local hardware store. (It was like 3mm think by 15mm wide or somthing like that.) It came in a long strip, he just cut a section off and drilled holes on each end. One went to the back screw on the bracket, and one went in the hole on the bottom of the FD seat. Same thing to attach it to the floor. Just cut a size that fit and lines it up.

The stuff was really strong, we couldn't even bend a long strip of it.

For the moulding stuff on the side, I think he pulled it off with a putty knife then just used something like goof off or goo gone and scrubbed the sticky stuff off. But I'm not sure.

Too bad my car will never look that nice

I want your car.

riffraff

we can all only hope that our look like that some day

AreExSeven

Well would you also say its too bad you aren't in debt about $7500 in loans and credit card debt?

Actually, he just bought his streetported turbo prepped 12a from pinapple racing, which cost him about $4000 after installation, which is why he owes so much

Me on the other hand, trying to scrape up $1000 to replace my busted engine. Man I need a credit card with a huge limit

riffraff

i have a credit card with enough of a limit to do all the body work that i need , and maybe enough to paint it too (assuming i get a good deal)... that is not the problem.. the problem is when the credit card bill comes, and i have no job and subsiquently no money to pay those bills

AreExSeven

Heh, oppisite with me. I make about $800 a month doing part time work after school, but nobody will give me a credt card, so I can't buy my engine til I save it up. Which is why my 7 is sitting now.

riffraff

capital one will give a credit card to anyone...

AreExSeven

Ha. Except me. I applied and they denied me. Basically I just turned 18, and have no credit history whatsoever.

Wattz

I'm 16 and I've been offered 2 gold cards and 3 platinums...

But I don't really have a job or anything.. `,=o/ Wierd.

riffraff

that is strange.. i got one from them when i was 17.. had no credit history then either

AreExSeven

well thats pretty

did they ask for a cosignee, or just you yourself?

riffraff

i think i had my parents cosign. so that is probably the difference

Ef-Dee

I think FB's (or as I call them, Fubu's ) look like submarines...no offense

riffraff

i can kinda see that (would probably be a bit clearer if i were drunk too). but remember, your ride was modeled after that submarine

Ef-Dee

Go submariner!

riffraff

we will sneek up on them, and then take them when they are least expecting it

NO RUST! Dammit YOU Suck! I hate california !

No seriously the car looks really nice not much on the stripes either... But looks good

spoolin

what plastic are you talking about? the rubber side moulding that is held on by double stick moulding tape? if that's it, there are no holes. just pull gently; use a hair dryer if you have to.
