Ditto on the guages. I like it. I have a black on that I'm building the engine now. I will post pics when I get it clean enough not to break the camera.

Vert Gauges

Hey Guys,

Gauges were brought off of Ebay. I think that they ran me like $30. The installation was not too bad. The hardest part in the gauge installation is running the ground wire and tapping the parking light wire on the harness for the switch. Otherwise than that it took me like 30-45 minutes to disassemble and re-assemble everything.


Thanks for the compliments...

yeah eclipse wheels do look nice on 7's from the side... but you can see they suck in too far becuase they are front wheel drive rims. theyll look damn good with some one inch spacers behind them so theyre flush with the body

Maaan, if you guys want those gauges we discontinued them so we're blowin em out, I have 3 pairs left, and I'm including a real aluminum gauge bezel. $30 shipped anywhere in the US. S4 N/A only.

Location

Hey,

I am in Queens permanently, car insurance for a RX-7 is not exactly cheap in NY these days. Had to get the car insured in Georgia so that I could save a couple of bucks. Plus the car is only driven in the summer and parked up all winter so realistically I am inly paying to drive the car during the warm weather.

I never knew that I could put spacers on the rear to get a flush mount on the rims. Does anyone know what spacers I can use and where to get them from as this is something that I would want to do this summer if its not too costly and labor intensive.
