This is just for the kat with the ram hood..... What the F__K are you thinking? That looks downright terrible!! Homie, you remind me of this kat I saw on 680 in the Bay Area, this fool had Pontiac Firebird stickers all covered on his Grand-Am. Dude that is the defintion of RICE!! Your going to get hit with lighting for doing that to that 7. Shame on you!!!!

The reason for this is that the red on my 90 GTU is not to good and some day I will get the whole car painted.

Sorry man, but the Ram air just looks hideous to me, not my style. I thinkd look bvetter if the scoops didnt stick up so dang high. Shorten them by half and it probably would look cooler. Instead of like an infected chest wound on the car.

i think for the ram-air thing that it looks wierd cus the hood scoops are kind of rounded, if you were to maybe make them a little boxier it might flow better? but i guess its too late now

Mine now runs a 13.0 in the 1/4, spanks on most mustangs, camaros, firebirds, wrx's, tiberons, and most street cars.
The only waste I see is your closed mind. The RX7 is a great car. The rotary is a great engine. But the car is by far the best in design, road worthyness and ride for the money. I'm sure that anything that doesn't meet your own small world is a waste. Open your eyes, there is a whole wonderful world of automotive. Anyone can buy a hot rod but when you make one even better than it was with a lot less money, then that is true hot rodding. Stickers, lights, wings and k&n air filters are fine, boast about 165 hp. I can boast of about 300 hp at 1/3 the cost and better gas milage, more torque, better reliability and longgevity. My engine and trans has over 130,000 miles on it and still runs strong and I do not have to worry when will my apex seals blow out. I'm not knocking the rotary, its just not my cup of tea, but the 7 on the other hand is.

Keep this thread clean. fc313bt88, your comment was completely uncalled for. While it doesn't warrent an "official" warning, it does mean that I will be watching your posts carefully in the future.

i'm not a big "ANTI-V8" guy or anything, i actually think the swap is kinda cool even though it gets away from the whole rx7 rotary thing, but whatever floats your boat.
but for god sakes take that ****** hood off there. that thing looks like trash.

going to the revolution because??
not completly knocking your car, it's just that generally the RX-7 or any other RX is named RX because it is powered by a rotary engine (anyone feel free to correct me if i'm wrong) and i'm not a huge rotary freak well maybe a slight one just because of how unique this engine is. Basically taking a rotary out of an RX-7 is a lil different then just taking a piston out of any other car just my 2 cents

Now putting a 4 rotor in a corvette would be super cool, you would get the torgue needed for the weight, and lots of rpm. Plus a sound like non other. Just to let you in a little fact, someone did put a (I think) a 20b in a Delorion. (spelling?)
