'Mazda' and 'RX-7' Logos

Greetings all and welcome to my first post!!

A few months ago I purchased an '87 RX7 and, whilst basically sound, needs some cosmetic tidying up.

I have the equipment to cut my own decals - I was wondering if anyone out there has a decent image of the 'Mazda' and 'RX-7' decals from the rear. They're faded almost to the point of invisibility on mine... (Queensland sunshine has a habit of doing that.)

If you already have them in CorelDraw/Photoshop/Illustrator/Freehand (or whatever), that would be even better!!

Cheers!

Here's a web site with a gazillion RX-7 related pictures. I'm sure you can find what you're looking for here.

Thanks Mazdamanda - their photos are a little fuzzy - but it's a starting point. I'd like some of the rear wings they've got... shipping them could be expensive, though!

Adsy01 - if you can get a square-on photo that would be really good. Is it considered 'bad taste' to put a Savanna sticker on a Series 4? Mine says 'Mazda' where yours says 'Savanna'

BTW - I'm checking out AusRotary.com now...

Cheers guys!!

Decals? If you choose to get the Badges, you may want to get them profesionally chromed as I did. Turned out beautifully.

I love you! I love you! (In a purely platonic way, of course...)

I use CorelDraw 9, but I also have Freehand 10 and Illustrator 9 - so whatever format you can send them in is fine.

Thanks heaps!

Welcome to the club man. I second checking out corksport (it's a nice place, never bought anything from them but it seems pretty well setup and I've never heard anything bad), also check out rx7.com for some badges.

We've got a Roland CAMM1 CX-24.

Got it installed no problems, but when I tried to do my first cut i couldn't get the damn thing to work. After about an hour and a half I figured out everything needs to be outlines... Ahhh....

Are you connecting it to a parallel port? Do you have any other printers installed on the same machine?

Cutters are not the problem, unless they are program driven.
I use a LYNX and cut directly from COREL sith the key and program supplied.

Sign programs are kinda iffy---key codes and all.
If it requires lines--outlines you need a vector graphic.
It can be a pain in the ***, it not like sending something to your printer.
Software and equipment are the way to go!
Most of the time I have to rebuild the graphic fo my system can use it...
no problem...just some time!
Roland makes great equip.
Not as user friendly though.
? let me know,

The Roland is the only machine I've used. Had it about a year - works pretty well.

But you're right joevc - you need to send it outlines from a vector-based graphics progie. Corel 9 does the job nicely, but I expect Illustrator will do the same thing if you're stupid enough to use Adobe

swrx7 emailed me the file i was looking for (thanks!)... when it stops raining I'll put one on and post a photo!
