Um, wouldn't that mean you should have been going slower than what you thought and not got the ticket?

 

Congrats on the car man! Your exactly were I want to be one year from now! Soon as school is out of the way I'm selling my Honda and getting a FD.

 

Things I like:
Dash Bezel
Good Condition
The red 'Stang in the first pic
Gauges (very schweet)

Things I don't like too much:
Rear Spoiler (that thing is hideous!)
Side Skirts (detracts from the clean lines of the 7)

 

I agree, these cars only look worse when they get body kits. I probably haven't seen that many with body kits close up but I'm yet to see one that has a good fit. Modifications, in my opinion, look best on the 7 when they are subtle.

 

The side skirts and spoiler were on the car when I bought it. The spoiler is almost the same as the 99+ spec one so it's not really that big of a difference. I've seen another 7 with the same side skirts molded to the car and they look alot better than mine.

The only mods I had done to the car were performance. When I bought the car it had the white gauges, headlights, interior silver stuff (which is not just around the gauges), and body kit already on it.

And that Mustang in the first pic has more rice than my car. Audiobahn sticker, full body kit (including hood with 2 seperate fake scoops), 6x9 speakers in the back sticking out w/no grills so in case you thought his sticker was out of place, he actually has audiobahn gear, and, here is the best part, it's a completely stock V6!

 

know this is old but i saw this car when it had the motor with like 500 or 600 hp..cant remember..jerry took it out bc it was selling..saw it run with that set up too..but yeah the track isnt coming along well bc the jack *** who is selling the land in front him him i think wants and *** load for it..but it was a nice car..would have loved to drive it b4..still would too

 

congrats man! I'm not crazy about body kits either, but yours is fairly tasteful in the silver paint. love that it's a base model, too...love the double bubble roof!

 

just a suggestion, my speedometer used to read around 80 when i was goin 50 and like 120 when i was pullin around 80. My problem ended up being a misplaced AC fuse. So I'd just run through your fuses and make sure theyre in the right spot, and make sure theyre not blown.

 

clean car. I've always wanted a silver or black FD.

My rx7 sign on the back is gone too. It was jack when I was at school.

 

congrats on the car. Silver FDs are the best!!!

 

looks like a nice car, do you plan to mod or stay stock?

 

Sweet car! I almost got silver, but went with black. I actually like the spoiler, its not subtle but not crazy. The side body kit would look better with a subtle front kit. Love the guages, I want some!

 

nice car, you said the bodykit and wing came with the car, but do you have plans to remove them or just keep em there? just wondering

 

Do any of you guys ever look at the dates of the posts?

 

Do you read the posts? :-)

"know this is old but ..."

 

Yep, I'm referring to the individuals who posted after him still congratulating the guy.

 

Congrats!!!! Man, the headlights seem weird to me. Is that an aftermarket modification or hmmm stock with the lights flipped up? Sorry but ti looks so nasty, it kills the cars beautiful front

Have fun with the 7!!!

 

No! Does it matter?

 

Wow, I can't believe this thread came back.

Yeah the engine that you saw in it was sold to another guy. I bought the chassis and had an engine built and put in. The engine that used to be in there I heard was a beast, single turbo, whole 9 yards (I didn't have quite that much money to deal with when I bought it).

I'll have to run thru the fuses when I get a chance. The speedo is off about 12 kph (used pfc to check). I just use the PFC as my speedo (as well as other gauges) and the AFC for a tach.

I like the spoiler because it looks a lot like the '99 spec wing. I'm going to keep both parts. I need to get the car repainted soon and I'm thinking of getting the side skirts molded to the body (another guy here had the same ones molded to his car and they looked awesome). I do agree that something like a FEED front end with the '99 spec combo lights would look better altogether. The side skirts throw the lines of the car off a little bit but I'll fix all that when I have the money.

The headlights are the East Bear kit and they look alright but were installed wrong by the previous owner and the lighting SUCKS. I hate them but not because of the way they look. I wouldn't mind going back to the stock pop ups if it meant I could see at night.

The only things that have changed since I last posted about the car are I got a PFC, AFC, black on silver efini emblems and an RB dual tip to replace the HKS 'Maxwell House special' (as my roommates dubbed it). I'll take some pictures and upload them here when I get a chance.

I think I answered all the questioned asked since I last posted. If I didn't answer a question pm me or just post here.

Thanks for the compliments.

 

Very nice!

 

You don't need to change the whole cluster. I've changed the tach on my old FD.
Actually if you take it apart and check it out, it might be an easy fix. I found that the needle on mine was stuck at 300rpm. Just tip it a lil bit and it would unstick and move back down to 0 by itself. Give that a try.

 

Yea, it does. You going to find all old post and congratulate them on their new (old) purchase as well? Don't be an ***. You didn't look at the date and posted, so don't blame me for it.

If you have any other problems, please send them via PM.

 

WTF this is an old thread? LOL

 

yeah it was old..i was searching about clean and fast on here and saw this guy bought the car i drooled over when it had the other motor..i always wondered who bought it..bc i knew he wasnt gonna sell it for the 25k he was selling it for with the other motor..azaka you still go out that way to the shop?..and mahjik your right ppl should read the whole thread before posting..it would make alot more sense..lol
