here we go..

anyways..
I forgot to mention I have a KOYO Radiator.

Car was an acid rained on. 93 R1, which I got 10K off MSRP
it originally was a Vintage Red.

and FYI: I had a typo. OK get over it
I have 19" Mekrah Seducers. I have had them for almost 6 years now.
Back in 98/97 when most were using 17''. I busted on the scene with
19's. And back then 19's were not so comman and actually hard to find.
the Pzeros were like 495 a PIECE. And of course as time goes on
things get cheaper, like most things.. OK they may cost 2800 now
for a used/new set. that is inexpensive.. But back in the day. when
people's jaw dropped dropped when I told them they are 19's was pricesless.
Funny how people used to say O M G 19's won't fit, its all RICE and etc.
Now its like the norm and people want them. Funny how ironic it is.
Thanks to people like me to lead the way. Many can follow.

Ok the Body kit is a replica. I never said it was original
the Paint and mount was a Grade C Job.. I admit. down the road
I plan on getting an A+ work. but with all the engine work and etc.
funds are limited.

Yea i do want coilover. But the funny thing is. In the pic the gap looks so much bigger
than in person. like 95% of the people who sees my car think its been lowered already.

Its ironic that people are like 50/50 split on whether they like my set up or not here.
IN every day in the real world. I got guys in Porsches Ferrari's, Vipers, Corvettes
and from Honda, acuras, Old hot rods and etc, from kids to grand moms all
gawking and drooling over my car and had not ONE nay sayer.

I admit things aren't perfect. but I am doing what I can. But believe one thing
I am representing the FD and the rotaries over here to the Fullest.
There are many that I changed their perceptions of the RX7's and rotaries.
as a matter of fact, I got old timers considring putting Rotary in thri Hot rods,
with 20b's just because of the light weight and HP numbers they can get..

But as it " to each their own"

and Fumanchu.
You still have ***** envy I see.
Sorry you was a schmuck to buy an Auto FD
and can't afford the Manual swap.
IS that your FD in your avatar??
What that spray paint bottle cost? $5?
NIce job. now go get a clue.

I guess I missed the "I want heavy-*** 19'' rims" threads.

I don't know about you buy my ***** isn't attached to the hood of my car. I like the jabs about my paint by a 100x100 avatar shot. You're just jealous because my car is originally chaste white. Have a nice day and keep on "representing the FD and the rotaries over here to the Fullest."

Is that really the best you could come up with?

Right, no one ever argues with me. I must have imagined all of it.

I have a white FD, and I would never consider doing that to my car. I like the lines of the car as they are. I think body kits belong on "mass-production" cars, not limited production cars like the FD. If someone wants to put a body kit on a civic, who cares ........ there are probably millions of them out there.

I actually think the kit looks OK. I just don't like the idea of doing that to a rare car ....... any rare car.

EDIT: oh yeah, the engine looks awesome.

Ya read a LITTLE to far into it . . . I like white paint with the MS pieces (even if they are fake). The wing, rear bumper, and the "i hate auto FD's" is the only things that i don't like
