hey guys i'm getting a dark gray rx7 88 soon and i've seen it once and i wanted to see how it looks.. if anyone gots a pic of that colored rx7 then please do...

 

Someone already posted this before but heres the 2 pics I have.

 

Damn them 3rd gens are schweet!!! I gotta get one of those.

 

Anyone know the exact name or paint code of the color on that 3rd gen? Cause thats definitley a color I would consider painting an FC.

 

FD's didn't come in that color. My friend's TII is a similar color called platinum frost, but his is lighter. That FD looks more like a platinum.

 

don't steal my color! well, it will be around next year when i get that kind of variation....but i had it reserved since last year

 

Is this the color you're looking for?

 

Thats the color I'm looking for. Whats it called?

 

I think it's called tornado gray, but I'm not exactly sure. The car belongs to MikeL. You can e-mail him at RX-7@brfoundation.com and ask him what the exact color is.

 

There may be something on his website that says what color it is. http://brfoundation.com/RX-7/

 

on Gran Turismo they call that Shadow Silver Mica or something of that sort, not sure but it does look good on a good picture of the car.

 

WOW! Do I feel special? Yes, I do. Thanks!

It is color code "K8" for 1987. It's called "Tornado Silver Metallic".

Here is a recent photo of my original 1987 paint:

 

Alright, thats the color I'll go for once I get my FC

 

Yes, somebody still remembers you.

 

Try to find one that's already that color instead of trying to change the color. It's easier.

 

Yea, try to find one that has the Burgundy interior. I think it looks great with the K8 exterior. Interior image attached.

 

It sure is one clean interior. I guess you like to keep it neat.

 

hey MikeL,

Where'd you find your dual Power Extremes and how much were they? I've been searching for some good looking, nice duals and really like yours.

Gomer

 

mikel, i have to give you a round of applause on this one.
I dispise the burgundy interior on FCs w/ a passion, but yours is so spotless and clean. Your car looks great
way to go.
But did they come w/ different interiors cause I most likely would find one w/ a slob **** interior

but anyone know what interior colors wcame w/ what exterior colors on FCs?
like are any T2s leather, or any GXLs cloth?
and what color

 

The 86-88 cars had red, blue, gray, and black(only on 10AE's). The 89-91 cars had black and blue. I've never seen any other colors. The leather was available for all of the colors.

 

Rotary Performance, http://www.rx7.com, may have a few left. Supposedly the system has been discontinued.

 

Yea, but wheres the fun in that? =]
Seriously though, what are the chances of finding a TII in that color, much less finding a TII at all (I've had alot of difficulty). But I'm getting this car as a project. Im gonna lift it up in my garage, strip it down, and clean it up. Get it all new and clean looking. So in the process, I can get it repainted.

 

If that's the case then I would say change the color. I did it, and I'm very happy that I did. Just make sure that you remove EEVRYTHING before you paint. You want to make that car look like it was stripped by pros.

 

This is a picture of my interior after I started to put the car back together:

 

Here's one of my engine bat during the assembly. I wish I had taken some pictures when the car was REALLY stripped.
