well the general idea was people posting pics of what they think is good looking FCs, otherwise if everyone just posts pics of their own car, it becomes the "post your picture" thread. We already got posting their pics in here and in the other thread at the same time. Now if someone else posts your car then its fine in my opinion.

Cheers!

If you have recent Racing Beat catalog there are couple small pictures in it with the parking lights on. Also the my Montego blue 1st gen is used in their catalog as well.

You can download the complete catalog in .pdf form here:

http://www.racingbeat.com/catordrform.htm

You should be able to scroll down a few pages to see my FC and my FB. I'm selling the green car and my white SE to make some room.

page 5 and shows both cars with parking lights on (also p 71)

page 23 w/o lights

page 29 shows my 1st gen brown seats used for RB seat covers
which are better than originals, set still for 275.00, I think.

page 70 shows rear quarter view, I bought this car from Dave Coleman in '01.

Originally his father's '83 S, and used as a project car for Sport Compact Car mag
when Dave was tech ed, now a Mazda engineer.

Well my car thinks your nose looks goofy, too

We'll see how classic your style of lips and skirts looks to you in 6-7 years?

Why do think they make so many styles of wheels and kits? Not so much as there are so many different tastes...

but they go out fashion so quickly...just like your silly music.

Try selling your 7 in 5 years with your cool drift look.

Cool beans... I got my jollies...it's out of my system now.

Bought my first new RX3 in '73 so I'll spare you young guns any more embarassment.

...and I mean it nicely.

I came here to catch up with a few old friends and share some tech, maybe sell some stuff.

The best part is downloading cool cars you guys built...the worst part is reading all your bull to get thru it.

But you see...hot rodding BS has never changed much since the late '50s.

Too bad so many here are full of it, it's just normal...it's okay

It's true, I can't stand the guys that post so many pics of their cars...but I don't call them out...I just skip over them.

Maybe you got something better to talk about? ...didn't think so. Like I said plenty of dead threads here I've wasted time reading thru.

I have 9 cars...guess I'll go saturate the "my car thread"

Hey... I posted a ton of other FCs in this thread that nobody else had in their galleries...famous ones, rare ones, beautiful ones.

Your thread was stale.

My black car...I know it looks like the one above...but it's actually a different car

i dont want to put you down or anything, but an opinion is a personal option. if you like it cool, if others dont... cool. theres many of us with multiple cars(rotarys), myself included. we could all **** in the wind, but were all gonna think we pissed farther than the next and try to ignore the fact we're all wet. if you get what i just said...

we accept the fact that you own history.... but the archive overload is strenuous. but congrats on having such a rare collection.

You already said that, I get it...like I said if you got something better to post, then post it.

Most of the cool FC pics I posted have a personal connection with me...if you want to take that the wrong way, I give a rat.

Okay class, which one of you can answer this:

Why is this FC a candidate for Best Ever?

Listen loser...I posted 14 photos this week here of the rare Racing Beat cars.

Up until this year they were RB cars and always will be. These cars have not been shown publicly, but occasionally for 23 years.

People either don't know what these cars are...or they know EXACTLY what they are.

Jim Mederer is Mazda's "Carroll Shelby" ...you should bow down.

Nobody really owns these kind of cars, we take care of them for awhile.

I posted 19 pics in the other thread...so what's your problem?

Some were posted because people asked for a few more...what's your problem?

Your not dissin' me, you're dissin' them and Racing Beat

You can't count either.

I also posted 2 dozen cool FCs that we my friends and racers cars. Maybe you don't appreciate history? You all could learn a little.

Don't be so small, unless you are small.

14 piictures in 5 days...get a life.

If you guys don't like the old RB stuff, just ignore my posts and post all your interesting info.

^^^damn, calm down.
anyways, its awsome to see rare cars like that roll out, hell, ive been into rx7's and datsuns for only 5 years now, but ive seen LOTS of custom and rare mazda's and datsuns. but seriously, if an rx7 looked like that stock, i would have never gotton into them. it sorta reminds me of a chrystler labaron. i despise chrystler cars.
anywho, whatsup with the truck? i see it uses a rotary, but what else has been done to it?


sorry, but they look ALOT alike imo


btw, nothing wrong with "the drift look" and its actually probably the reason why more and more people are getting into rx7's. but as much as you are right about the classic stuff ALWAYS fetching a higher coin at auction, 99% of modded cars never get sold.
its kinda comparing apples to oranges.
if i were to take 2 cars
1)1965 gto numbers matching
vs
2)1970 modded to hell challenger
there is no question that the 1st one would outsell it, but there is also no question that the 2nd one would probably never get sold.

now, comparing that to the rx7 you posted.
YES, its far more likely that its worth 1000x more than most of the "drift" cars here, but i very seldomly see those high dollar well modded "drift" cars get sold.

i think the RS front and the re amemiya porsche 928ish front would be on parr (meaning they look really dated now)



Both are oldschool designs in their respectful country origin *one for japan market, the other for US*
