Well, I finally bought it last night. I am going to paint it blue, hopefully it will come out nice.

leave it red. It seems to have fresh red paint on it now. Use the 1k it cost to paint it blue and buy a ems system instead.

 

Pardon my ignorance, but I've seen a term bounced around quite a bit, & have NO clue what it is....

WTF does everyone mean, when they say.... vert. ConVERTible?

 

yes vert= convertible

As for the paint, red=tickets so I will most likely paint it. I know it looks really clean as it is, but I guess I want to paint it. I was going to do it myself (since I took a class in college for auto painting), so that will save me money.

Besides, I already have a Haltech E6k. What I really need is a turbo, manifold, and all that other good/expensive ****.

 

lead foot equals ticket.....not color. While red IS the color that the eye fixes on first just don't speed. keep it red.......or save for a bigger turbo..............your car looks fine save that cash for something cool for your car.........oainting it now is a waste of cash i think.

 

Do you really think painting it will be a waste of time? I know the paint is in pretty good shape, but I really dont like red on the rx-7 that much. I figured while the car isnt built yet, I could just strip it and paint it...save me the headache later.

 

i vote paint it blue and get a white top

welcome to the vert club wooO hoO!! i just t2ed my car.. not done need to rewire ****

 

Nice Score..

here is a pic of mine.

So what is wrong with RED ?

 

I hear ya. I believe my N/A still has its factory paint, and its just beautiful, especially considering there's 179k miles on the car. when I bought the car I wanted to paint it arctic silver -- as nice as this red looks, well,.... red just isn't ME! but, I've since decided that the money spent on a paint job could get me some good mods, so I'll keep it for now.

but yeah, being tailed by every policeman who happens across my way = freakin annoying.
