Aaaaaaaa, that is niiiiiice. Yellow second gens rock.

I had some 300zx rims with tires and they weighed 41lbs. The tires were BFG ZR comp t/a 225/50/16 and I needed 1/4" spacers on the front.

I'm pretty please with it over all. Had a few surprises when I went to pick it up, but I've managed to overcome most of them at this point.

I pretty much swapped the driveline and entire interior from my 91. I'll have that up forsale here shortly once I get the new motor back in it.

Othewise, it looks and drives great.

That car was originally owned by my friend. Not ROY but the previous owner. He took care of that car. He regrets getting rid of it.. My friend wanted a turbo after driving my 87TII with EMS and bigger turbo. Im glad it ended up in good hands. He will definitely feel better after i tell him that you guys bought it..

I have some pics of that car in the last minute after delivering it to ROY. Also i have pics of that car shot some nice flames..Man that is probably the nicest Yellow FC i have ever seen.. Please take good care of it..OHHH BTW if you guys saw some sheet metals that was cut inside the car, we didnt do that..the previous owner did..

haha, dude, I want to talk to you then

There was so much crap cut out of the inside of that car I was amazing. I think several people must had taken turns cutting little pieces here and there. I just about have it all back to OEM *looking* specs. Someone must have had a crazy accident in it too, which I didn't learn about until I drove all the way to LA to pick it up, but oh well. It still looks good. The repait job was very professional.

I'm currently being hasseled by Az MVD since I don't have the dash plate VIN. If your buddy happens to have it, I'd REALLY like to get it back

Post up the previous pics of it if you have them. I need to get pics up of the new interior that I put back in it also.

I guess this car is making the Rx7club rounds? We'll have to name her appropriately. LOL

Looks hot, now paint the front grill black so it looks even more sexy! Seriously the yellow crossbars are the only things throwing me off.

haha, YOu're right. I was trying to figure out what it was about that that didn't seem quite "Right" I'll give that a shot and see how it looks.

Thanks

Carl- hey i will ask my friend if he still have that little vin #s. I doubt he will have it since. He already cleaned up everything. Now we are working on his TII that we traded from ROY.. The interior in that car use to be so clean.. I was about to cry when Roy told me that he installed a rear strut bar and had to cut the shock tower. I believe he also started removing all the tars to save some weight (waste of time in my opinion)... I cant seem to post pics here. I can email it to you and just promise me that you will post it here...thanks...

The car was gutted when we got it except for the dash, which was dyed black. No tar, AC, heat, it was ALL out. We replaced everything with the black leather from the 91gxl. We've been getting lots of compliments on it. I'll pm you my email address.
