Fix your tails.

epic 10-08-08 08:17 PM

how would i do that? i know they are like fading out. but how can i restore them back 2 org?

Strip off whatever that stuff on there is, wet-sand them with 1000+ grit sandpaper, buff & polish. You could also modernize them if you like https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/s5-taillights-%2Amodernized%2A-pics-392954/
Car looks really good otherwise. :icon_tup:

Jpk3200 10-08-08 08:48 PM

Okay, I'm going to be a little picky and pretend that it was my car...

1. I'd also replace the boot (unless that's an old pic).
2. Put the S5 knob on.
3. Replace the cigarette lighter with the original one.
4. Get some FTP lenses.
5. Take the Efini badge off the hood.
6. Mount the front license plate in center of front bumper.

I'm one of those guys on here who would rather see the car as close to stock as possible.

Like I said though, the car looks pretty good.

I would recomend getting that fender takin care of to.

epic 10-10-08 07:32 PM

sweet!!! thanks for the info. i will try and do that this sunday with the tail lights.
as for the fender i am still working on that. both sides have dents in them from the owner b4 me. oh! b4 i forget, is the process of taken out the tails ez? mostly just some screws 2 undo and they pop right out?


also thanks Jpk3200 for the info. ill try and find and the old cigg cover. but idk where it is. as for the shift knob, thats the one that came with the car when i got it. idk how the s5 one looks like.

rx-711 10-10-08 08:20 PM

engine looks nice, now get a new fender

epic 10-10-08 11:10 PM

any 1 have any good sites 2 get the fenders from?
i would really like the org ones. nothing flashy but then again....no eff it. i want 2keep the body looking the way it is.

87 t-66 10-10-08 11:28 PM

get a new top, get a new fender, get rid of the efini badge, get some un-modified tail lights and for god's sake, take that ridiculous tach off your dash. the engine bay looks great, maybe get a battery box top.

epic 10-10-08 11:41 PM

i cant take the tach off atm. my old rmp meter isnt working right. once i get it 2 2.5rmps its starts going all over the place. so far no one can fix it. so in the mean time i put the tach there. but still any1 have good sites for fenders???

Hmmm, I don't have a picture of the knob, but it is all black with indented numbers. Chances are that it is ripped, as I have never seen an S5 shift knob in great condition. Mine is ripped a little and tried to find a replacement in better condition. I couldn't. I find them to be much more rare than the S4 knobs. However, I have seen a few in the 2nd Gen For Sale Section on this board.

epic 10-12-08 03:39 AM

thanks i will check around and see what i can find. well today is the day i ma try and fix up the tail lights. lets see how it go's. oh also wanted 2 know if any 1 knows any good suspension kits for my 7. the back end is fine but the front end is starting 2 squeak a little bit.

Rx-7fetish 10-12-08 08:59 AM

I have some fenders, pm me and we can try to work something out

epic 10-16-08 12:30 AM

ok...so this sunday i tryed 2 take the tail lights off...now i was looking for some screws back there but i couldn't see any.....i didnt want 2 mess anything up back there so if any 1 has any pics of some step by step things i can do would really be helpful.

epic 10-16-08 01:42 AM
