smashing a window works better to get a door open quickly, oh, and my dad can break into my car with a clothes hanger in less than 30 secs.

don't dare any of us to do something because we might just do it.
Passenger side handle hasnt been hooked up since I got the car back in april, and teh drivers side snapped some of the plastic clips abotu a month and a half ago when it finally got cold down here.

Yeah I know, my brother had to break into a car the other day cuz soem lady locked herself out. But I doubt any of the people aroudn where I live, work, and park my car have the ability to get a RX7 started and to stay running before they just give up. THough I would never dar a real rx7 owner to try and steal it as we all know the lil tricks of these beasts by now.

This explains your views well enough.

Hey Vipers, I watched your car for a while from afar. Its great to see someone go through such a transformation. Good job. I like the wing, too, it doesn't tip the "rice" scales, and adds a nice touch to the end. Again, good job.

What is going on with the giant tach too....I think the stock one is big enough and can't be much more in your face. Ditch the tach, you look like you own a civic. Secondly, are you sure it is a 91? That is pretty rare to see....and that turbo scoop looks a little sketchy, i would like to see some pictures of your engine bay.

first off... my tach is broken...tried to fix it...couldnt...... had this tach already, so im using it!

second...... you tell me...build date 1/91 ...., registration says 1991..... i even have the original window sticker from my car that says its a 1991... so, yeah, its a 91!

and what do you mean "sketchy"? thats an odd word to use!

and there is a picture of my engine bay in the vbgarage ......its an old one, but its there if you wanna see it

Paint the brake calipers a different color?

Maybe black with orange lettering...

Not enough contrast. Tach is heinous. Taillights are lacking (IMO).

Other than that, you're the man.

I think it does need a bit of contrast, perhaps just tinting the windows as dark as legally possible would help?

Wing isn't my style, I do think it works well with the car but I'm more of a lip spoiler (IE Sport Spoiler) fan.

Contrary to most posts on here, I think the painting of the hatch trim looks nice, it makes the car look a few years newer.

Looks sweet and clean.......

I don't care for your wheel choice and the wing is HUGE, but hey that's what makes the world go round. Right!!!

You should feel proud and strut your stuff

that car looks decent with that wing only because of the body kit. But you know what. I think that car would look completely badass even with the wing in black because of the color it would be a little more stealthy. I like the black primered pics and would love it even more in a good ol gloss but in all i like the transformation and I think it was a gutsy call with the wing. I used to think that wing was absolutely hideous and on your car it looks as good as it ever will. Props-

Yea me too. I've been looking for a good priced knockoff of that wing everywhere, but cant find one. the real one is too damn expensive for my tastes.

GTUs Turbo II...I had no idea they made those...oh, that's right, they didn't. Don't act like you did something special by swapping a motor...it is a waste of money and time.
