The T2 hood makes the car look like a T2, and that is rice, if you don't have a turbo then quit pretending. Even if you don't think it's rice, you can't argue the fact that it disrespects T2 owners. I bet most of you would agree that a civic DX with a type R sticker is rice Right? so I ask you what is the difference? You say that it's different because the hood scoop actually looks good unlike the type R sticker, well the owner of the honda thinks it looks good. hmmm..... sounds like people are overcompensating for the lack of turbo power on their NA's, give it up just enjoy your NA and quit pretending. Just for the record I DO NOT OWN A T2 I just respect them.

An NA car with a Turbo II hood is not a dis to turbo owners. I'll tell you what a dis is, a guy with a Turbo II who drives the **** out of it and goes through engines right and left because he can't take care of the dam thing! Believe it or not there are people like that.
Yeah, it sucks that I drive a slow-*** naturally aspirated car. That 787B was slow too huh? They should have turboed that thing too, right?
If I was really concerned with overcompensating for my lack of power I would just go out and buy a Turbo II. They're not all that hard to find, or expensive. Finding one in good shape, that's another story. Just for the record I DO OWN AN NA, and I respect all RX-7s.

Yo,
I still can't get over that people have a hard time figuring this out.
I just explained this whole stupid argument to a coworker. He drives a Z28 and he said...
Him: "Huh, that's like putting an SS hood on a regular Z28. That's weak."
Me: "Exactly."
He grasped the whole thing in about...3 seconds.
It's really not that tough.

U still dont get the point.. Nowone with an n/a would get one to pose as a turbo.. thats why i said that if t11 hoods were on N/As I an vice verca, I woud still put it on mine. Because either way its lighter. Of course I cant find an N/A hood at a junk yard thats aluminum but I have seen a t11 this guy was offering me for 50 bucks... U sound stupid when U keep arguing a point thats been proven already... No Offense.

Clean out your diapers and stop whining about people putting TII hoods on N/As. 
Some people like it, some people dont... I think everyone's already stated their opinion, is there much point in arguing about it? Everyone's ideal car is different, regardless of the logic or "ethics" involved.

I think one of you guys should start a group buy on Fake BOV's to go with those hoods, you just don't get the full effect without sound, now everyone will really think it's a turbo, which is the goal of the whole operation, I think I saw some stickers, fake BOV and a fake fmic on ebay, buy that and get the full turbo effect without shelling out for a T2.

If you put a T2 hood on an NA it's a rice move that insults actual T2 owners, you don't have a trubo, so you are pretending to be something you're not that is rice. Give it up, the T2 is a rarer and higher performance car. If you don't have please don't insult all RX-7 owners by trying to rice your way to a T2 wannabe, be proud of you NA.
Oh yeah, my argument makes sense you just don't want to see the truth........ so rice on blacksport, rice on.

Like I said before, if a person was really pretending to be a turbo they would put the Turbo II decals on their car. If all they have is the hood, they are obviously not trying to fake anyone out. Why spend a couple hundred or more on a Turbo II hood and not just buy the $15 decals too? Oh, I know why. BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT TRYING TO MAKE PEOPLE THINK THEIR CAR IS A TURBO II!!!!
You have no legitimate argument. "Rice this, rice that............"

Good for you for picking your NA over a turbo, now instead of trying to be a T2 be proud of your NA and keep the NA hood. Here I'll sign you up for the group buy so you have the sound to go with the hood, the t2 hood is not for NA's so give it up

This is pretty funny, we have N/A guys arguing that a T2 hood is rice, and T2 guys arguing that a T2 hood is not rice.
Anybody see the irony in this?
If the T2 hood is not for N/A's, then why does it fit? Like someone said, if you have a FMIC, then you can't have a T2 hood either because it's non-functional.

so wait, i guess by your definition, if a TII has a FMIC and doesnt want the "aerodynamic brick" on his hood, then he is trying to fool people into thinking he has an N/A. just give up your useless ranting.
this is worse than the guys who come in here and post about how RX-7s suck, just to get everyone riled up. you obviously have no capacity to listen to another side of an argument, much less understand anything other than your own prejudicial opinions.

Turbo II hood on NA === GAY Rice boy
Now if your NA runs the quarter mile in 14.5 or less then you deserve to flaunt such a hood. But all you NA's that run super slow times and have the turbo II hood you are a gay rice boy.

if anyone ever says that Turbo guys dont trash N/As and that we just have self confidence problems, here is your proof that we dont imagine things.
did you need help to get in this state of cerebral-rectal inversion, or did you do it all by yourself?????

Ok, my 2 cents..........
My opinion, the best LOOKING 2nd gen was one that was never imported to the states. The T2 Vert.
The biggest shame about a car that was never imported to the US is that the T2 Vert was held back to avoid the Gas Guzzler Federal BS.
Sooo, for the time being I have the look I've wanted. Ultimately, finding the right T2 donor car, I'll have the drivetrane to match.
So, does this mean that in the interim, my car is rice? Give me a break. Not everyone that drive Rex's drive them to race. Some of us drive them because we simple believe in the Wankle and enjoy the car for what it was originally built to be..... a really fun to drive daily driver. (bet that observation gets some flame )

People like you give Turbo II owners a bad name. I feel sad for your Rex.
This is a fun argument for us NA guys, because we are the only ones with any valid arguments as to why putting a Turbo II hood on a non-turbo is not "rice".
