fewpics

here are a couple of reasons I don't give up on my car just as of yet As some of yall know I've been having a tough time with just about everything on the car trying to get it right. Well today I steped back and took a look at the car in the front lawn and remembered why I'm not giving up on it Thanks guys for helping me out so much (you know who you are).

i think it's that you've been trained to hate it in theory, but it actually looks pretty good on a 7 in actuality. actual actual...

Your car looks great! I'd like to see it with the hood down, to see what the paint scheme looks like.

What is it about RX7s? My wife also hates mine. I've never told her this, but I think it hates her too, because it never gave me a problem until after I got married. Must be jealousy.

ah thank you thank you! I just went driving in it on this fine hot afternoon (98-100*) for about 20 minutes or so and no electrical problems yet so thats good! Now to find out if it happens at night with the lights on. Oh by the way to whoever is driving around with there oil temps and water temps getting above normal. GET THE UNDERBELLY TRY AND RADIATOR COVER! Man this helped out incredibly. My oil temps where getting to about 235 and my water temp guage was reaching almost half way and this I think should not be with a koyo radiator however after I installed these two thing my oil temps are 210-215 and my water temp gauge is right about quarter of the way up. My car is happy now! I found out that on the old school greddy/trust/hks/reamimya intercooler kits, the intercooler points upwards slightly, and what does this do? Well when I looked at it it was actually pointed upwards enough to where the air would pass through it and then fallow the intercooler fins downwards right underneath the oil cooler anyways after putting the underbelly tray on it has no where to go besides back up and into the oil cooler.
