Arrow NOVA Rx-7... Complete Body Restoration...

Hey everyone...

I've been working on this car for a while... but I just picked it up late this afternoon after a complete body restoration and paint job by Mr. Spoiler in Northern Virginia. I was blown away when I pulled into the lot and saw it waiting for me. Well worth every penny!

I'm still planning on putting Feed sides on her, but other than that shes pretty much a dream car... Not sure I'll ever sell or trade this beauty.

What do you think!?

- Brett

Bluhring your car looks awesome! That paint job is amazing, love the color. Not sure about those foglights, but still a great ride and will be even better with those FEED sideskirts! Nice Work!

Thanks for the comments guys! Below are resized pictures...

A couple of responses to questions, etc:

RX7LINK: My wheels are F18x8.5 +35 and R18X10 +40. I am not 100% positive on the offsets but the wheel dimensions are correct. The tires are toyo proxes F225/40/18 and Rears are 275/35/18.

Mister Destiny: I haven't ever heard of PIAA windshield wipers... Exactly which ones are you talking about?

livin4hockey: The fog lights are Hella Optilux (bought a few years ago on ebay for about $50 I think). I didn't have the time to get new ones so I just had Mr. Spoiler install them on the car. I wanted them in the normal position too, but I think they may have been a little too large.

nice work man, I just got my car back a couple days ago,

def get some skirts, and I would say no to any fog lights, with your hood, sleek lights, 99 lights and fogs their is alot going on. Here's 1 pic that doesn't do it justice because of my camera



oh man I just noticed you painted part of the hood ... can you post a pic of just your hood, i was thinks about the same thing. Won't now because I think the tgm goes well with it.

snaponbrian500hp: The only problem is that I actually need my fog lights. The cwest lights don't put out a ton of light and the fogs actually help me out quite a bit. But I may go with something a little less noticible and in the correct position...

Definitely like the color you chose - almost the same as me.

Also, here a some close-ups of the hood. It is 3 toned... grey, black, and carbon fiber. The way they painted the hood makes it look longer. And I know many of us get "Is that a viper?" questions a lot, but with this hood I get the question almost every time I'm out. Guess they don't know what an FD is... dummies. ;-)

Here are some pics of my base 93. Car has just over 29,000 miles on it and runs like a dream. Pictures are nothing special since this is pretty much a stock looking 7.







This is pretty muchthe same sot as above with just a slight difference in angle.

[QUOTE]Why have you got a triangle on your bonnet

It is a CAMS requirement for racing in Australia, it marks the position of the battery..

You should know, living so close to Winton! :-) Nice track that one..... have raced on it many times.

Shep is great, I used to live in Wangaratta for 7 years.....

wjp005, car looks good, engine bay looks like it's seen lots of armor all .

May I suggest some 1999 tail lights and some lowering springs ?

Rexhvn, perform a search for 'meaning of efini' to learn about those triangle badges

Cheers for that Goodfella. Yeah had to spruce her up a bit for the photo!

I have some GAB coilovers that will be installed soon, then I can set the ride height nice and low!

I thought Rexhvn was asking about the blue triangle on my bonnet that marks the battery location for competition racing in Australia.....
