Damn clean. Makes me want to get a Rx-7 for a driver and not mod it as crazy as I have in the past.

 

yeah i have no idea. The server is mine and its running fine.

The blue latch was a dremel, epoxy and three blue leds.

 

Hey did you notie any difference with the brace? Was it worth the $65 or should I make my own?

 

that is clean that looks like it is bran new. i like the moded rx7 light.

 

im really diggin your car man i like aloooot! the RX7 light is ****** aweseme!

 

Can you post some pictures of it in the daytime, up close?
I still can't picture what you did exactly. Looks good though.

 

where you driving this today? and anywhere near new west? cause i swear i seen it today

 

Thank you. RX7's "R" Great lol

 

No, must be a twin, lol

 

absolutly fabulous my man, excellent work, i love it all, but the light up rx-7 hatch thing is the greatest!

 

I have the same vented headlight cover. Did you have a difficult time removing the 4 screws that hold it on. I got two out ok, but the other two screws won't budge. Any suggestions?

 

all i can say is WOW! I really dig the interior, I can't wait until I get the dash and interior out of my 84 put in my 82, and it's the same color too. what are the rims you got and how much ?

 

Looks fabulous! The paint is so clean. IMHO the fog lights have to go, they look okay, but really stick out and ruin the clean lines of the car. Maybe change to round to match the headlights?

 

Man I love that Blue RX-7 Logo in the strike plate. It would be very cool if you detail how you did that. I would love to copy it.

 

Get a drill slightly bigger than the srew threads. Drill out the + part just far enough that you go though most of the head but dont touch the threads. Then, if you have drilled far enough, just tap the heads off with a chisel and a hammer. Once you have the cover off, the remaining studs can be screwed out easily. This was because the heads of the screws on mine were rusted and painted onto the lid. If your threads are rusted in, then i would suggest drilling with a smaller size bit than the stud so you can just drill out the whole screw and then retap the hole.

 

its hard... You need to basically dremel out the stock one, then put tape on the face and turn it over and pour in that epoxy **** that they use in craft stores for making thoese clear plastic coated wood stump tables. Then after that, sand the front down, paint the black part and cover it with clearcoat. t

Next, get three LEDS, make a diffusion grating and then make contact poles so you can get power to it. If i get off my lazy *** i might take pictures later.

 

yea there was a nice 1st gen like yours but i didnt recall the sticker on the side

but i was crossing the street and it was a light, the guy doesnt live here in new west cause i know where allt he 1st gens are located here but so many do pass threw, I have now seen 3 1st gens at this one light in New west

 

Any pics of how the torque brace connects to the body?

 

 

it looks a little lumpy in the picture for some reason, its smooth in real life, perhaps thw flash hitting the different layers of clear? Anyway:



The contacts:

 

LOVEN' THOSE LIGHTS!!! The side stickers make them look like Marc's 1st gen.

 

Since people are still asking:

I filed a little slot in the stud that goes though the window, basically so i could get the wires from one side other.

The most important part is to make sure you get thin LEDS and I had to file mine even smaller.

 

again: Hey did you notie any difference with the brace? Was it worth the $65 or should I make my own?

 

i already answered somewhere, but yeah i did notice a differance. If you want to make your own, go for it, but i was glad to pay $65

 

I thought that spot where it connects to the body is a boxed section? How did you install it? Did you have to take the fender off? The reason I ask is because I'm going make something similar to that myself.
