I love the red/silver combo. Don't care too much for the rims, the windshield decal or the wing but that is just my personal preference. Other than that I think your car looks good. Any other mods?

I agree that that car would kick *** without that spoiler or a windshield decal.

I don't like the shopping cart handle on the back. It looks nice but the wing has got to go. The wheels are ok, what kind are they. Are they Motegi MR5? If so, trade them off for another wheel, a better wheel. Car looks nice, I like the red/silver combo. What other mods do you have?

Wings are a personal thing, I"m sure he likes it, and personally, I don't think it looks too bad. That's an awesome FD you've got there.

Well i know you hate the spoiler,but i had that spoiler two years before i even had the FD. This guy had it, that was a friend of a friend,and that was the first time i saw a fd.And i was in love,it was like year1996 when i saw his FDand they where rare,it had 18 chrome rims,that spoiler ,it was red.He had to give it back to the bank for some reason,and i said give that spoler and strut bar,he sold both to me for 100 dollars,and new i was gonna get a FD
Well mods are
M2 downpipe
midpipe
greddy PE
apexi intake
hks pfc fcon
cusco strut bar
18 konig caffienes paid $800 w/ new tires.
Not rims i wanted .but i figured i paid for the tires and got rims free,tires that came with it were only 2 weeks old
100% improvement over stock,i'm gonna get new rims later.

I wouldn't trust the HKS fcon to keep my engine from blowing. I would get an aftermarket ecu right away. Also, with a full exhaust and intake you are likely creeping up to 15-16 lbs of boost. Not good on stock turbos, especially without an upgraded intercooler.

BTW, I don't like the wing either.

A new ECU is a must, if you want to go all out the Haltech is worth it but if you just want little more then stock go with the M2 remapping ECU, it puts more fuel into the engine and makes it more reliable. I personally cant stand that kind of rear wing on an RX-7. Nice car!

Thumbs up Love Your Car!

Hey SilverFlash,
I never liked the color silver on any car and especially this car. Now that I am looking to buy one that was the last color that I told myself I would get...red being first.
Your car just looks very nice...sorry for all these people giving you a hard time about the spolier they are probably older and have just got it stuck in their heads that a spoiler is rice and that working on just the performance side of the car is the only important thing and looks don't matter as much if you take care of your car the way it is stock. I think first you make sure the car is running perfect and then its up to you if you want performance and/or looks. I can't decide wheather I want the spoiler you have or the gtr one on this page http://www.groundeffects.com/wings/mazrx793.htm
I believe that looks similar or is even a copy of the 99 spec one but excuse me if I am wrong. Like someone said get a lip for the front....I was thinking of getting the racing beat front bumber and sideskirts.
Sweet job on the car man and Good luck
Yes...I have car envy right now!!
