The wife drives the Evo (unless RX-7 broken), I will post different pictures when the graphics are pinstripped (I think it will change the look), it doesn't have suicide doors but yes it does have vertical doors. It does have a purpose....it allows me to open doors without dinging them getting in / out in my trailer. I realized there are people that will say its a ricer mod. Oh well, I can't go back now....the hinge is shaved off as if it was factory.

 

Heres a video of the car racing at Street Tuner Mayhem in Colorado.

Theres no real purpose, it was just to get it to the track for the weekend. Theres still a bunch of stuff left to do on it and we did what had to be done to make the race. All said and done they will be back in.

 

Not suicide, but much easier to roll out at high speeds!

 

Technically lowered 1.5" from stock, don't know who else is sporting 19" shoes and still drives it on the street, but it will hit the fenders while turning as is...

 

Does Mom know about this?

 

Mom (my wife)....does not know....but she will find out if FD is broken! I'm stealing the car on Sunday to take it autocrossing. She doesn't know that yet either.

 

I'll let you tell mom, while I'm out slaving away in the garge! I might recommend putting some straight wheels with some unbalding shoes on that evo before auto anythinging it! Or mom may have to take the 7?

 

Update...got the car pinstripped yesterday. It looks like a different car...I will post pictures tomorrow....Batterys dead on camera.

 

New pic's posted...what do you guys think....looks good? Looks better without pinstripping? Or should I have just did a solid color?

 

Kinda late now don't ya think?

 

Maybe so, but still interested in what people think.

 

ahhhhh!! i didnt even notice the graphics when i saw these on mhr...not my thing but it isnt bad or anything. everything else is sweet...cant wait to see that thing in person sometime.

also whats up with the lip on that bumper? i have seen it before, actually where i bought my 99 from they had one like that. is it seperate, because in the pictures i`ve seen it looks like its part of the bumper. because other than that it is just a 99.

p.s. i think some feed sides would look really good on there. its not too late! i think im going to use some.

 

Solid color, since the decals, pinstripping is a year or 2 removed from being thought of as IN, if it was ever IN for our cars...but to each his own.

I seriously thought about doing just a solid color....I just wanted to do something that noone else has done.

 

Decals of any kind have already been done. The design of them runs together in my head as just begin decals since they've been done in almost every way shape or form on cars at most car shows.

Overall I think the car looks great, nicely thought out mods, only drawback in my book is the decals as you can tell

Tim

 

Just so you know....they aren't decals....It is actually painted on. House of Kolor Stratto Blue.

 

maybe no one else does it for a reason! ...ahh just giving u ****...its really not that bad. like i said i seriously didnt even notice untill someone said something.

 

I was waiting for the decal statement...

 

Well you did do something I haven't seen yet, pinstrip across the rear brake lights

I'm glad your taking pro and con points of view with a grain of salt since even though you asked for our opinion, yours is the final one that counts.

Tim

 

Not sure I like the pinstripe across the taillight. I dropped the car off to the best pinstripper in Colorado and said surprise me. I just bought another FD that I'm going to part out....so I may just steal those and see how it looks. I guess the pinstripping on the taillight is the old skool way to do it.

We tried to lower it as much as possible....but I can't even get the car into the trailer as it. We need to make some special ramps....I want the thing hammered but damn....I can't drive it anywhere!

 

ahhhh god!! those tailights have to go! ewwwww....but the rest of it came out reallly nice. i think i like it

 

I wonder if I can use something on it to take it off so I'm not wasting a pair of expensive lights?

 

oh yeah ****...are those real 99`s?? i would try laquer thinner...im pretty sure that would take it off.

 

And turn them foggy as PhuQ!
