that website has excellent articles explaining how things work. just about anything you could want to know - they even have forums. lots of automotive articles too, many of which include 3d detailed animations. very informative and easy to understand. i am reading the article about differentials now- cool animations

Yeah, I've read the one about Rotary Engines a few times =)

They even talk about the RX-8!

I liked the part especially about radioactive transmutation by beta decay of carbon up to nitrogen.

mar3,
originally my passeger side one was real messed up so i got a used one to replace it and it was red. instead of attempting to match the gold, i thought they would look kinda cool black so i bought some black trim paint and sprayed em. ghetto but i think they came out decent

yea radioactronic transmorgrification is cool

It is a rather bold statement. I was thinking you had deep, deep tinted lens covers and some kind of custom optics under them.

You should paint some eyes on them

haha, well see, im planning on getting my car painted and getting a non-flip headlight kit (if there is one) in the near future (i mean when i get a job - im 17) so wasnt worried about how good of a job it is cause its just temporary. but i like it cause it gives it sort of a new look

edit: if you like, you can pretend they are ultra tinted lenses with a high output top secret optic system built with plans stolen from a top secret optic test facility

enigma32

hehe
I'm in the same boat...
And in fact, with the exception of the headlights and the rims, mine looks the same =)

Don't do the non-flip-up kit though! it's so.... non-RX-7

The_7

i know but they look cooler...........maybe i will get the kit that looks like nsx headlights with 2 bulbs and it doesnt lift as much...that way i can keep the flip style and they will be cool too

hehe, well before it became a discussion on your car's black eyes (which look alright IMO), I was thinking "hey!... didn't I post www.howstuffworks.com and www.rotaryengineillustrated.com to some newb on here like two days ago?"

howstuff works is cool, that was the first place i went to when i was about to buy my first rotary

The_7

i owe howstuffworks.com the credit for the fact that i knew the basics of how rotaries worked long before i got my 7 , otherwise when i read "this car has a rotary engine" on ebay i wouldve said "WTF is that?!"

haha jon, your post in the other thread was right after mine the admins should make a sticky for learning sites
