good to see coverage. thanks for repping the FC's with steez. now we need to see a track monster FC to get covered. ;)

pretty clean!

its funny my car would all most exactly the same if i had those skirts, rear window duckbill and car repainted

now i know how that lip looks when its painted white, cant wait to install mine now =]

excellent example of a very clean FC

Headlights are broken, hood pins are ugly, and if you remove FTP lenses at least put in a formed mesh replacement...

Otherwise i like it!

formed mesh replacement ? yuck

I also might mention putting a 215 tire on an 8" rim or a 225 on a 10" rim is retarded and borderline irresponsible.

It would take me all of 2 corners on a road course to blow the beads right off the rims...

good for you

Not everyone cares about track performance, these are also street production cars. If you want to persue a racing career, get a go kart or some serious racing chassis instead of a production car, you can only advance soo much.

That "irresponsible" tire fitment is what got this car featured, its what makes this car unique and stand out for Rx7s.

My comments have absolutely nothing to do with performance. Unsafe on the track and unsafe on the street to have improperly sized tires for the wheels. There is nothing cool about stretched tires. I suppose if the car is kept under 40mph (15 in a corner) and remains a picture queen it'll be ok.

It's nothing personal. Just a simple fact. It's not safe.

Not here to argue style. It's a nice looking car parked in those pictures! Carry on....

Yeah because there is certainly no national and global wide interest in sports car racing.... :rolleyes:

lobster- save your breath. The fact that there is a "magazine" called STANCE NATION clues you in that they care more about how the car photographs then performs.

Here we go again. As far as looks go it's up there, but as far as performance goes it's only on it's way. The truth of the matter is that stretching the tires is ultimately sacrificing overall performance & can be unsafe under spirited driving conditions. If a mag only wants to feature a car that would be unsafe as a daily driver because it fits a trend then oh well, not taking anything from RC's car it looks good.

car looks very good in those pictures

Great pics!! i just love it...for me on the outside it's PERFECT..and the lobster well, its just pure envy!! I whish to do it like you but maybe keeping my paint job. (red and black)
about the wheels, man in my opinion i got another set of rims, the tires are as well perfect!

:facepalm:

lol Man this thread is just getting good. Glad to see the old rx7club shananigans at it's best. :)


......NO ONE found this funny?....lol.....I am still cracking myself up :awesome:

^^i overlooked that post lol

meh, dont really care what people think about stretched tires. no matter what ill still rock a 205 on a 10in. shit looks hot. that and makes my shit fit in just right.

also he shouldve went a deeper dished wheel if he was gonna slam it out and stretch out the tires.

(right clicked) saved...

Easily one of the best looking FC I've seen to my taste. Not too much aero parts and superb wheels is the way to go for those cars. I don't feel the sleepy eyes, hood pins and N1 duals though.

As far as tire fitment goes, to each is own I guess. The stance looks dope but I couldn't drive mine like that hehe.

Deeper dish?! 18x10 with a +8 offset and a 5 inch lip is not deep enough?! How do you run any deeper without going wide body I would love to know?!

in fact here is a pic of the wheel next to my car when Ryan first got them.

i got
18x10 +17 F
18x10 +0 R
on mine, but Im wide fenders in the front. RC's car is immaculate condition compared to mine :lol:

Im running 10.5, -13, under a 1" pull in the rear.

Fuckin incredible fc

fix the cartoonish sleepy eyes and camber and it would look great

Too much pull looks like poo on most cars including the fc. Ryan's is just a roll and a very light pull. He could go wider but if he did I personally would go wide body then. I think since his is so nice condition why risk messing it up by pulling the 1/4 panels or drilling them for flares or wide body..

Also OP should have put a disclaimer saying Function>form people need not apply. Some of you don't get a show car I guess.. If he was all about a function car it would have 500 ponies to go with a spoiler and diffuser and all the other go fast goodies. I am not trying to be a dick but why nit pick a car for something it's not?!

Haha. Ok......
