Haha.. Funny you say that. Doesn't it suck how many FD's in our area are absolute ****-boxes? I have yet to see one (other than the obvious) that doesn't deserve the crusher and nothing less..

My only real setback is time. I'm back in school full time, and work is 50+ a week.. So... you get the idea. I'll have it out here soon though - and we can figure out what the hell happened..

You need to put my RB wheels on your car for some pictures.. Just for the hell of it.

First, your wheels won't fit my wider fenders, remember? Anyhow, I'd like to sometime get some sweet rims on it for some pics with the widebody.

Dude, I'll pull your motor and everything..... just drop it off. I'm not kidding!

How much wider are they? I need to flare mine too.. a little.

What's the ETOC on that piece anyway? Tell Don to get his *** in gear.

Thanks for the offer man. I'll let you know when I get that thing pulled.

ETA? Wheels will be here 4-6 weeks they said. I need the car done by middle march, that's when the track opens.

You don't have time for your car.... quit messing with these internet retards. I'll take care of it. I owe you.

obviously, you are only concerned with straight line performance, so in my opinion you ruined your 7.

however, if you are building for the strip those are the wheels for the job and shouldnt look too bad on the car.

I think they shoud look good. Do you worry that you might want to upgrade your brakes some day and not have room to be able to?

Straight line? Yes? Only for the track? No. I'll be driving this on the streets as well....

So, just because I can't drift with all the ricers, that means I ruined my RX7? I think not.

I don't see much fun in terrorizing the on and off ramps.

Anyhow...

some of us like our speed on a road track, or attacking a back road, and know how to follow the proper line of driving. something you won't even be able to attempt with this setup.

also, i hope you realize that driving this setup on the street not only compromises your cornering performance, but your safety in a panic situation. Can you say understeer?

Whether it is on the street or track this setup is only good for straight lines. The point I was trying to make is; if straightline is your thing...those are the wheels for it, but not for much else.

anyhow...there is no point in arguing since obviously you have commited to it already.

when u say driving on the streets, i assumed you mean you are going to change the wheels back first? kinda of ridiculous to drive around on 15" wheels with drag radials, right?
