It's funny how you can look at a photo and instantly know it's Miami

Installed a 96 (95?)+ oem jdm spoiler. Wasn't sure how i'd like it but it was relatively cheap and already the right color... I really really like it.

I think it looks good. I owned a G35 before getting my FD, so I always think of it as a G35 wing, but the FD has it 8 years before the G35 came out haha.

I got my rx7 repainted in March! I’ve been working towards this for awhile. I’m really stoked about the color change.

It's custom, just an Ebay special canister I had laying around that I fabbed together just to get the car up and running. Still saving up for an RE or Feed exhaust.

I dig it. Late 90's old school RE-Amemiya aero perfectly suits a 90's car.

Edit- Thanks for the nostalgia. Brings me back to the first time I saw an RE-Amemiya kit:

Gullwing? Yeah that's RE for ya....

So smooth. It's cool the miracle bar and do luck brace work together. Pop that hatch and show it off a bit. Would be good to see some more pics of your brace setup.

I like those bars and the seats look very light. Are the bars just cosmetic or do they actually improve stability and safety of your car? Are those seats light and streetable?

It's not technically a RACE Cage, but it definitely provides extra stiffness! I'd be willing to bet that by tieing the rear strut bar points in with the rear seatbelt mounting holes, the Next Miracle crossbar definitely adds stiffness. The Do-Luck bars are called 'Rear Tension Set' (not cage) so take that for what its worth. *Cusco also makes a bolt in "cage" (vs. all welded)... I don't plan to race my FD, so really it was mostly about style and I like that it's ultra rare ;D

Btw- spintriangle, if still possible you should edit your post and delete all of the image reposts above O_o ^

Indeed that is correct i did like 95% of the car myself just not the outside paintwork and the inside of the engine.
The whole process from start untill now is to be seen on www.facebook.com/rotormotor7
It's also for sale as i would like to start a new challenge
