looks good bro. Just need a little drop.

414 RX7 RIDER 06-19-09 10:06 AM

I agree on the drop. I'm tapped out on cash rite now, but when I got the cash for it, I was thinking 2" rear and 1.5" front.

sell the wheels, put the stock GTUs wheels on, then lower it.

it will look much better.

slam that biatch then aero kit, wheels look nice tho

Drop it, put the clear corners or tinted ones... BAM perfect.

414 RX7 RIDER 06-19-09 10:57 PM

I want to get some smoked ones. I'll let you know when I got the extra cash.

fix that rust before anything. i would spend money on a grinder, por15, a welder and some bondo before a drop.. rust gets out of control quickly. car looks good, though.

Thanks. The only rust is on the drivers fender. My plan is to cut that peice of the fender off and put turbo II side skirts to cover it up, or just buy aftermarket fenders.

there is a red FC at pick and pull, i think it has a driverside fender.

if its in good condition, all you need is "GTUs" stickers, there is a set of oem ones on ebay right now.

Looks good but 18 seems to big on an FC.

The fender at the pick in pull is beat up, I was down there like a month ago looking for CRX parts. I didnt find the CRX parts i need either, but I sold the Crx without fixing it anyways. The 18's really ain't that big. The GTUs comes stock with 16's and I can make a full u-turn without rubbing with these 18's. Last fall I had 19's on it and still had plenty of room for a couple more inches but I did'nt like the way it handled. The 18's handle great and the tires I have are super responsive and grip great.

I have run 18 inch wheels before, not quite enough tire for me. I like 17s best.
