Bro sorry but that much is proly to little for anyone to want to sell them to you. Used they usually go for 30-40for the pair. You should check out E-bay there is this one guy that has a whole bunch of stuff and usually has a pair or two. But your total cost will prolly be like 50-60 dollars. Just leav your car without them it make the FC look sportier IMO.

I have a pair but I won't sell sorry. lol Leave them out that way fresh air is let into the engine bay if you cut out a circular part of the metal that way you can switch to a cone filter and get a "true" cold air intake.

haha yeah

Im trying to get ftp's too for my tii and i wouldent get used ones only because they usually looklike crap if there old. Im trying to get new ones and the cheapest i can find are 100 bucks for the pair, at corksport.com Most places like mazdatrix sell for 140 for the pair, and places like rx7.com have the JDM ftp's which have intigrated city lights (hole cut in middle for a wedge bulb) Kinda cool but there 155 bucks! Man ****** all little things for FC's are outrageos these days!!

This is the most retarded thing I've read on here in a while. Come on man, what's more important.....having wipers and a good charging system or having cool clear sidemarkers like the Hondas????

thats exactly my point..a good charging system and important things are cheap and things that are extras and things people don't really need are really expensive. what you said is precisely my point. the price should be reversed with these items.

EXACTLY!!!!!!


The important stuff for your car is priced well, but the unnecessary stupid **** is way overpriced because people will actually pay large amounts of $$ for it. To each his own, of course, but I find that kind of stuff rather useless.

Thats what I did except my hole is rectangular. You should still make a box for it though.

Why are some people so ignorant to Hondas? Ive seen n/a Hondas running low 13s, have you ever seen a N/a RX-7 do that for a reasonable price?

I have some FTP lenses by the way if you want them. One is has a hole in it I think because it builds up moisture in it and looks alittle dirtier than the other.
Ill sell for like $20+shipping.

I bought the cold air box from RX7-fc (spelling?) I am just waiting for it to be shipped. I have yet to cut the whole but will soon. I want it to be circular for me to be able to make some ducts and rund them to the front bumper where the oil cooler is.

I don't like hondas either but they can be fast just like anything else. I beleive most here are rotary only people and that is why we generaly hate other kinds of cars.

I love when people Defend a car or the whole company because they saw on car have a quick 1/4. Most of them time there is something they are not telling you and 1/4 mile time in not every thing. I Will be the first on to say F#$K them, do what you like to do. But there is something to be said for being unique. What did that Civic do in the slalom, How does it corner, Top speed, Cost, Can you do a real donut (yeah to the RWD)? On the unique point again, If you can make 400 million Cams kits for a V-tech becouse there is 800 million out there, than take the RX-7 less cars, less production, more cost.

Boo Hoo. Cry me a river. Oh how can that car corner? Damn good I might say. Street tires too, not slicks. Top speed is high and can do doughnuts like mad. Damn nice looking IMO too.

i used to think that hondas were cool until i started to research my car and then it was no question that for the money you have to spend to buy a 95 or 96 civic used, compared to the money used to buy a decent 2nd gen rx7; it is really so much less for a 7, and with that left over money you can put mods on your car instead of having a 6,000$ v-tech or even non-v-tech that is stock...no comparison in my mind...anyone else?

By the way Ive seen a Civic run low 13s that was a pretty well balanced car. The car I am talking about is my friends S2000. Damn its a nice car, not bad for a Honda. Those NSXs are pretty nice too IMO.
