I just got her running again, I fixed a power draw which was killing my battery, the ignition (it now shuts off with the key) and the exhaust which was broken off at the header. Thought I'd share with you all.





And of course, my car wouldn't be complete without the fish.

very clean ride
i like it alot
and the fish is a nice touch

 

Is your radio surround broken? If it is then the rest of the car is worthless...

(...but it looks soooo nice and clean...lol... )

 

By radio surround, I assume you mean the piece that goes from the A/C vents down to the lighter, that meets with the shifter piece. It isn't broken.

I'll score ya some interior shots, hold on.

Looks good man. Time to save up for some suspension now

 

Very nice FC my friend. *wishes his own was that clean and ready to show* and as far as the radio surround goes.....superglue and hopefully some fiberglass are my friends ^.^

 

The interior isn't quite ready for show yet.

Here's some pics. (Sorry it's already getting dark here.)







In the back there I'm mounting my amp inside the cabinet. I'm hoping to cover it with an acrylic lid of some kind. And the stereo isn't hooked up yet, I don't have an aftermarket faceplate or anything.

Otherwise, it's in pretty good shape.

pretty effin clean man, keep it that way

 

i like the rims what kind are they

 

Very clean, i like ur amp.... ive got the same one

 

KONIG

No idea what model or whatever... the previous owner sold the car with these bad boys on. I love them. They do have a small bit of rust on 'em though... that kinda bothers me but for now, they are nice.

that is a nice color on an FC

 

they are konig monsoons

i have a set collecting dust holding a fence open if anyone wants 'em.

they don't look bad if you paint the centers black.

 

hey man, nice paint! What did you do for exhaust? and the rims are pretty slick too! now u just gotta lower it a lil, to give it a final nice exterior look.

 

I don't like to be forced.

 

Yep, that's what caught my eye. It has pearl mixed into it.

Good to know, I had no idea what kind of KONIGs they were... never cared to find out, really. But it's good that I know now.

Yeah, I'm looking at those Tein springs... on eBay, about 150 bucks with shipping. Anyone used them? Are they any good?

Different strokes for different folks.

Ask Karak about the Tein springs, he said you might have to modify them to avoid rubbing, otherwise he said they are l337.

Nice car FYI.

 

Who else makes springs for 2nd Gens? Just so I can compare and stuff.

Just out of curiousity what was causing the power draw?

 

Eibach makes very good springs. I've heard the good things about their progressive rate springs, but I cant say anything from experience. Ground control makes a good coil-over kit that uses eibachs, but they arent progressive rate (mine arent, at least). I dont remember how much, I've got the reciept somewhere at home.

 

I have eibach on my 7, and racing beat on my miata, both on tokico shocks.. In PA (pothole capitol of the world), I'd rather have the Eibach, but if that's not a problem (shouldn't be for you in TX), then I'd probably go racing beat.. they're both awesome, though

Personally, I'd take off the fish.. no religious reasons at all, I'm all about no external logos

 

very very clean, looks great

 

Two wires that shouldn't have been hooked together - that also fixed the ignition, which now turns off with the key. No idea what they do, they aren't hooked up now and everything runs great. Must be extra options.

nice looking RX!!!

 

I have intrax springs on my rex. The camber is a little off in the back but other than that theeeey're GREAT. Stiff as all hell. I love frosted flakes.
