some of the ones Ive seen are outright... bad.

Yeah! I have been looking to. I'm just not down with the shoebox stuck to the ground look, otherwise the options would be more acceptable. Unless you are willing to switch your front end around to 81+ specs, you pretty much are left without options... Affordable ones anyway.

i lilke mine but it was installed by the owner back when he bought the car or there around. i have no clue where to find it now.

I like the Kaminari kit. It adds a nice flair to the car but dosent ruin the front like the mariah airdam does IMO.

Chapel

I think thats why Im leaning more towards an FC.
better aerodynamics... but a heavier package

riffraff

if you want a nice front airdamn for the sa's you really are going to have to change thr front bumper/turn signals to an fb.

Yeah I think yours was a factory dealer added option. Also seen that same kit from Pacifica way back. But they are now out of biz

Chapel

FB?
never heard of it referred to as that.
so 1979-1981 = SA22
1982-1985 =FB?

jrios

I think that sa22 is what they refer to it in japan. I read that name on an Option 2 magazine a little while back.

Are wide body kits still availible for the 1st gens? I've looked a little but not found one.

I like the Mariah front bumper cover, but now that you all mention it, it does make the car look like a shoe box.

riffraff

chapel.. that deals with the vin's..
79-80 start with sa22, 81085 start with fb. 86-91 are fc and 93-current are fd

79+80_rx-7

I have a design for the front, and want to see what it looks like finished. What material should I make it outa??? I could use some sheet metal, or fiberglass, after I get it made, I could have my friend weld up aluminum ones. Whatcha think??? THANX LATERZ, Andrew

riffraff

fiberglass would be nice and light

79+80_rx-7

I was thinking fiberglass too, but people say it would crack eventually And one good hit it would probably crack I will make up some prototypes, when it gets a little warmer here. THANX LATERZ

Oh yeah, I would have made it sooner, but I didnt think there would be this much interest in parts for the SA
How many of you would be interested if it looks good? How much should I carge??? I wont be looking for much, maybe like $75-$150, depending on how hard it is to make it So what ever you all think Gotta keep hopefully soon to be customers happy heheheee. And if you have a good idea, throw it at me, and I will see what I can come up with If someone could draw, some front ends, and send them to me, and I decide to make them, I will give you like half the profit, or somtin like that
THANX LATERZ, Andrew

riffraff

depending on how it looks and functions, i may be interested.. keep us posted

79+80_rx-7

Will do, will do

I also think the kaminari kit is really nice. I plan on eventually getting that kit.

V8kilr

kaminari is sweet,
but hard to get

Chapel

oh, but I go by the chassis code, not the VIN
Ive seen the FB VIN, but the chassis is still an SA22, right?

riffraff

as far as i know, the chassis code is also fb. but then again i donot know.. both sevens that i have owned have been SA's

Chapel

were there any chassis differences between the 79-80s and 81-85s? (Besides the rear tails)

riffraff

yes.. there were small differences, but i donot remember what all of them are off the top of my head. fb's are a little longer.

Chapel

longer?
wheelbase or physical?
bumpers on later ones are bigger... i know that

riffraff

i donot remember off hand.. sorry

Chapel

my biggest problem is that the SAs tend to have terrible front and rear lift
but Im also not a big fan of big body kits.
