This style was hot in the mid 1980's to early 90's, i.e. wheels poking out with stretched out tires. It was very common to see 10" wheels with 225 tire on anything from a nissan sentra to small pickup trucks.

Maybe, but sunken wheels have been the fashion for years as well :p

But you know, not everyone is about sticking with the trend, some of us just do stuff to our cars because we like the look of it - I couldn't give a **** what other people think, that's why I've sprayed over carbon with satin black in the past.

Thanks dude!

Nope, he's got the rx7store mid-pipe. His car is so quiet at idle it almost sounds stock. I can't remember how loud your car was.

No one is questioning you. It was very matter of fact post. Your style (yes it's a style and trend as you aren't the only one doing it) is very amusing to me as that is exactly what was being done 20 years ago. That's it, I'm not mocking it so get over it.


Also if you didn't care what people thought you wouldn't post your car.

I used to have a midpipe with a resonator that I welded in myself. It was fine with the old exhaust, but when I put the ganador on the tip was almost touching the bumper.

I just put on a RX7Store midpipe and it fixed the clearance issues I had with the exhaust tip. Biggest difference was the sound though. Like Dan said, the car is so quiet it almost sounds stock.

Is the rx7 store midpipe resonated? That would be odd if it isnt and it is quieter than a resonated one. My car has the stock cat and it is definately louder at idle than stock. I can hear it idleing from inside my house and my driveway is about 50 feet from the house. But it is certainly not as loud as most.

The reason I ask is because I have been thinking of making a Titanium midpipe that is not resonated to make the car louder.


Thanks for the response and congrats on being published again. The pics look great But I am sure you allready knew that.

Thats funny because I can barley hear my car outside standing 50 feet away and yes its the resonated midpipe.

I have everything apart right now because I just took my midpipe to get a bung welded in and im about to heat wrap it. Ill take some pics of the exhaust and take some videos when its all back together and do a little review on RotaryAddicts.

Finally Posting Pics

I have my car for over over a year and never posted pics so tonight decided to. I suck at taking pics.

Like the way the sun is breaking through the clouds. But the car looks to dark.


This one looks good



I think this one looks the best



And here is a pic of my Ganador titanium exhaust. Turning blue.



And finally what I will make "fit" The white spots is crap on the lense. (not my bedroom)
