Thanks all.
Yes black leather and a rollbar from kirk racing also. Has 8 speakers, (no headrest speakers) cd/mp3 player and hidden under the rear cover are a 10" sub , 6disc mp3 player, couple amps. No spare.
The TII engine is being built by Pineapple racing as we speak. The rest of the drivetrain has been swapped already so I am driving it for now with the na engine. The entire suspension and brake system has been redone also.
The side markers are from some German company (can't remember).
Sorry, but the rear wing is a secret.

Fellow vert. owners.......


I am undecided on color for my vert. project, I was going to go with silver with my new black interior, but now I am starting to think about one of my old favorites, yellow. Any opinions on how the vert. body looks with different colors. Mine has a Corksport body kit with FC2000 headlight clones built in and a rear spoiler that sits low but a few inches off the back of the trunk......oh yeah, and 17" Chrome rims (5 star style) and a TII hood scoop I just molded in.

What color should I go with??????????

John

stay away from yellow, please. THE FC body doesnt lend itself well to yellow, IMO. The FD can barely pull it off.

Silver, on the other hand, is friggen AWESOME on a 2gen. My wife's friend has a 99 accord with a silver that is just SO deep metallic you stare at it. I have thought about painting a car this color just because I like it so well, but I'm not into color changes so that sort of hurts me.

I would get teh colorcode from one of those damn hondas and go with that silver...you WONT regret it man!!

Damn, Heven- now I wanna go carve up my spare cover and drop in some s%&t like yours!

Those stock speaker locations (minus the headrests- I yanked em) just don't do it for me.

ohn
I've had an MP3 player in my RX-7 since early 1999. Pentium 166 MMX, 10 Gig HD, custom DC-DC converter, custom software with voice interface.

hehe, yeah, i know it was expensive, but ive wanted one ever since i read about it a few years ago.... i've tried the home brew one (100 mhz 486, 30 gig, numeric keypad control, 2x40 backlit alphanumeric lcd) but it was just more trouble than it was worth to keep fixing it (i think the mobo was posessed), and the empeg offers so much more as far as the gui, portability, reliability, boot up time, screen / visuals, and having a full dsp in it isnt bad either
