Looks great with the vert wheels and S5 tails. Very clean car

 

Ya I figured that stuff was going to go eventually, but wasnt sure. Yes if you do have the S4 tails, they look best painted car color, makes it look more like a part of the car rather than a totally different piece.

 

Beautiful looking car man. I see you went to the dark side (S5 tail lights ...but I guess it was a good deal j/k). I still love the aero parts that you have on there (and no longer feel original at the sametime ).

*shameless plug*
DAMN those new suspsension components make the car look even better standing there! And you say it handles like a dream?!? Damn...those things must be awesome! *end of plug*

Sweet car man

Excellent looking car! Reminds me of....Mine!

Newton, PA? Is that on the east or west side of PA?

 

I'm one of those wierdos who doesn't like S5 tails.

I say paint your trim to match and you have one sexy rexy. I love silver.

 

You painted the sport wing? How did you go about that? I wanted to do the same thing.

 

Kiyo: Hehe, thanks. And yes, you gave me a great deal on the suspension setup... I owe you one

Wozzom: Im in SouthWestern PA, about a 45 minute drive from Pittsburgh.

TonyTurboII: Before paint it was sprayed with a type of sealant , to prevent any moisture getting into the rubber, and also to help the paint stick. Most urethane paints should be flexable enough to work, but I think they do have a special paint for this type of material.

 

You're welcome man, anything to help. Now then...when are you gonna get a short shifter and stop worring about that sloppy shifter?!? I really think that's all you'll need anyhow, btw what bushings did you get?

I won't make any comments on the "prancing ponies" you have coming out of the rear of the car .

 

see, i made this picture a long time ago(sry for bad quality i shouldnt have compressed it) You stole my camera work !

 

Did you add the Sport wing? You have the car listed as a GXL in your sig, you may actually have a Sport, no? Your front strut towers don't have the AAS connectors either. Wasn't AAS stock on the GXL?

Aside from my silly questions, the car looks awesome.

ICEMARK HELP!

 

Yes, my car is a GXL. I added the sport wing, and also removed the AAS actuator strut tops, and replaced them with the normal ones when I installed my new suspension setup. I will also be removing the center switched for the "sport' and "normal" modes, so no one will be able to tell it was originally a GXL *cough* heavy pig * cough*

Thanks

 

I restored an '87 Sport but left the awesome nubby wing black. I liked the black and gunmetal look and keeping the stock aero package in black really helped offsetting the body color. I think you may want to see what powdercoating those 'vert wheels black may look like

i personally like the original 'sport' spoiler it get you the best drag coef. along with the aero pieces of course. I can't wait to put mine on but I have to bend the metal strips back into their original place first. your car looks really good though. Makes me want a set of s4 vert rims, and really you got to love the s5 tails. Matt22

 

Super clean looking RX-7 there man. Take care of it and enjoy!!

 

Thanks alot guys. Feels good to know other people appreciate some of my hard work. Ive actually been contemplating getting the centers of the wheels powdercoated black, and leaving the lip polished, but Im nit sure hw it would look.

 

Rxmfn7,

DO IT! It would look amazing.

If you did that, send your hood to be done the same colour. I know I know, it sounds rice or whatever the hell you want to call it, but you need to see the silver with a gunmetal grey hood. charger- has a parts car the same colour as your car, and he got a different hood for it (which by chance happened to be the stock darker gunmetalish coloured hood). Anyways, everytime he or I get parts off it I'm just astonished by just how beautiful it looks.

Honestly.

Almost makes me want to change my paint scheme.

Combine that with Polished lip gunmetal rims, and.. it would be.. just..

 

Haha, I dont think Id do the hood, but the wheels are a maybe. Thanks

 

they have spray paint for wheels now, just spray em and see what ya think, if ya like em have it powdercoated, but ive seen the black and silver rims alot, ied die o have a set for my car i love em, ied almost risk getting caught to jack a set.

 

So I should spraypaint them to see if I like them? And what happens if I dont? No thanks....

 

It would probably come off with solvent.

 

exactly. use some paint that wont stick to metal if your worried. and rember when its powder coated itll be shiney. not dull like paint.

 

Guys, he has mint condition vert wheels, seriously not a mark on them....


I know where you live, you spray paint them, and I will kick your ***.

 

Love it! Look just like mine except for the wheels. Mine needs new shocks beyond badly @ almost $200 a piece. OUCH! My husband wants to convert the AAS. I won't let him I want to keep it stock. Any advice on AAS?

 

AAS is basically worthless. IMO its pointless to buy replacement AAS struts. I have upgraded to a nice tociko spring/strut combo, and it is worlds better than the stock AAS stuff. Thanks for the compliments.

 

Very nice, no rice there. I really like the BBS rims on the silver body.
