Looks alright, especially for a work in progress. +1 on losing those lights, and those wheels are not my style, but its your car. : )

you might also want to move your front plate somewhere where it wont obstruct your grill. you want as much air to flow through that radiator.

the front license plate looks good to the side, refer to my pictures pn my sig.

the AFM is your Air Flow Meter and its the metal boxy looking piece that is connected directly to your air filter. it must be sitting flat. refer to the picture i have enclosed

Jesus christ....this is worse than honda tech.

Unless somebody's car is completely flawless or rediculous fast, they catch ****.

FTR, his reverse lense is cracked. I'm sure he likes them though.

yeah n/a with headers and intake i have seem them pull 145-155 whp

so check and see whats the problem if not do a quick search on the forum for HOW TO on 5th and 6th port wire open...or better yet just remove the sleeves and cap the lower intake manifold


And guys take it easy on the kid hes off to a good start....read a couple post up where someone corrected him on his afm , and he said he was going to correct that. so he is learning quick.

no pistons your car isnt no where near this kids car condition so i would ramp on his tailights....lol OWNED BROTHER

No, his car is nice. I wish i had his tails actually, cracked reverse lense and all.

If you've ever spent time on honda tech, it's an elite fest and if your car isn't a land speed record junkyard setup or mad tite jdm, it's trash. Really. Even if the car isn't even riced and subtly modified, it's still hated on. I see it on EVERY forum i go on. I figured the rx7 community would be a bit different since rx7's are bad *** cars. Do the supra guys act like this too?

Again, i'm liking his car, not bagging on it. 87 t-66 pointed out his tailights were busted. They're not as bad as he came off.

I wouldn't care if my car was finished with all the bells and whistles, i still wouldn't bag on his car because it's a seven and i dont see him doing anything wrong.

Ya I like it, Doing some research on 5th and 6th ports. TweakGames has given me some tips when we meet at the Dyno on saturday. Check my car for Vac Leaks.. Which i had very little of. Trying to get those fixed. Tomorrow Im going to give the car a nice Wash and Wax, Clean it up and try and fix some of those Vac leaks.

Its strange but sense tomorrow is a holiday i get the day off of school and i just happened to have the day off of work to so All day to work on my car.

There is a wrecking yard about 35 miles from me with JUST RX7's might just go up there and find some parts for my interior.
