Villians are nice too. they look exactly like SSR Integrals. hmm...i wonder why...

I don't think JoeD has a car. That's why he's a world-class hater.

Even nicer, they weigh the same and cost half as much.

JoeD: Some of us don't put volks, enkies, etc. on our cars b/c we don't have the $$ to spend. Wheels get very expensive, very fast!

sorry that this does not have much to do with your topic.... but i really have to know. JoeD do you even own a rx7? of any year? or have you ever owned one. you sure do post a lot... i think your on every single topic of the forum. you sure do well to trash other people and tell them what to do. just wanted to know where you got all your great experience and knowledge??

not everyone can afford a $2000 set of wheels and then buy tires on top of that.


so what do you drive again JoeD?

im not a hater. i have higher standards. i wouldnt stoop down to the level of the honda buys and put knockoff rims with narrower-than-stock tires, and a knockoff body kit on a car.

i have higher standards than that.

BTW, im still searching for the right FD...a really good condition 94 or 95 Silver R2. it will take time, but i will find one.

does it say anywhere on here that you must have an FD to have an opinion about it?? does it say anywhere that you must have an RX-7 to think that knockoff body kits and cheap rims just dont belong on an FD?? does it say anywhere on here that only FD owners are allowed to think that installing tires and rims that are narrower than stock is pretty retarded??

i voice my opinions. im not like other people that just hold ot all in.

i have also been on this forum a lot longer than most people here. i can honestly say that i have a much greater knowledge about the FD than a lot of FD owners on here.

Someone who almost never has anything positive to say in his posts sounds an awful lot like a hater. It sounds like your "higher standards", as you call them, are getting in the way of you becoming a benefit to this forum instead of just a pain in everyone's ***.

It takes no skill or thought to criticize others on how they spend their money. But if you don't even have a 3rd gen., where do you get off telling other people that they shouldn't "stoop" to putting knock-off body kits or less expensive rims on theirs?

It sounds, Joe Dirt, like you're just trying to impress people with your so-called discriminating taste, when in actuality you're the worst kind of hypocrite because you don't even have a 3rd gen. and aren't even practicing what you preach.

I've owned a set of Kinesis rims. They were no better, or lighter, than a set of Konig Villains. They just cost more and looked different. There is variety because there is variety in taste and budget. Just because someone doesn't share yours (imagined or not) doesn't give you the right to rip on them.

I thought as much. Good luck in your search, though.

does it say anywhere on here that you must have an FD to have an opinion about it?? does it say anywhere that you must have an RX-7 to think that knockoff body kits and cheap rims just dont belong on an FD?? does it say anywhere on here that only FD owners are allowed to think that installing tires and rims that are narrower than stock is pretty retarded??
No it doesn't, but it also doesn't say that you have to be a dick 100% of the time either...

i voice my opinions. im not like other people that just hold ot all in.
I voice my opinions also, but without shitting on other people most of the time. Maybe you'll learn consideration for others with time. Perhaps not.

i have also been on this forum a lot longer than most people here. i can honestly say that i have a much greater knowledge about the FD than a lot of FD owners on here.
Possibly, but that makes it even more of a shame that you're more of a liability than an asset to this forum.

but see, the thing is...im not a dick to someone unless they were a dick to me first.

look at my first two posts in this thread:

"exactly. Konig doesnt really make wide wheels. they only market to the honda boys, and the widest they can run is around 7.5 or 8. so they dont have to make wide wheels."

and...

"cool. cant wait to see more pics of your knockoff body kitted FD with 7.5 inch Konigs!"

did i say anything wrong?? i only made a statement about Konig and why they do not make certain models of their wheels in wider sizes.

i then said that i cant wait to see more pics of his car. he has 7.5 inch rims, and he will soon outfit it with a knockoff body kit. was i wrong?? did i lie?? no.

he then called me a "LameR"

who was the dick first??

the only time when i am negative in a post is when it has to do with knockoff body kits and rims. yes, all the posts recently about these topics, i have been negative in. how can you be positive about something you really do not like??

i dont see where i am negative in any other thread having to with any topic other than knockoff rims and body kits.

You were. Derisive comments on your part are traditionally what bring on these so-called attacks you claim cause you to be a dick...

Maybe you should count to 10 before you post and decide if what you're about to say could be construed as a sarcastic or disdainful comment?

Anyone thats ever visited this forum even once knows about your wonderful opinions on anything replica and can EASILY detect the sarcasm in your statement, as I did when I read it. That's why he called you that. If you dont like replicas body kits or 7.5" wide wheels, then when, or if, you get your FD, dont put them on it, but dont attack other people for asking questions about putting one on their car, or for having them on their car. It's their car, their choice. I've seen a lot of things people have done to their car on here that I don't care for, but it's their car, not mine, so I keep my mouth shut. You could probably find something on my car you don't like, but I don't care, its my car, not yours, and I like it. You have to remember that not everyone can afford $3000 for a set of rims, or $2200 for a hood (Scoot), that's no reason to flame them for picking something cheaper, replica or not, and to do so shows worse taste than 5" wide wheels on an FD. This may come off as a personal attack, but its not meant to be, its meant for anyone that reads this that does any of that.

With that said, I wish you luck in looking for your FD. The first two FD's I seriously looked at getting were a 93 Silver Base and a 94 Silver R2, but instead bought a 93 Touring with 5K original miles on it, and boy did I ever pay a nice amount for that, but it was worth it. I have pictures of the 94 R2, I'll try and find them and put one up here for you to drool over.

RavenRx7 - the car looks great, thanks for posting the pictures.

JoeD are you freakin kidding bro??? You don't even have an fd? Bro you must be the biggest loser on earth to spend 8 hours a day posting ******* remarks about other people's ideas on their cars when you are just a herb with a dream of owning one. Every other time I post I'll get some **** saying something negative...guess what, I look at the name next to the post and its you bro...And you don't even have the damn car man...I woulda thought at least you'd have something nice. damn.

sarcasm?? saying "cool. cant wait to see more pics of your knockoff body kitted FD with 7.5 inch Konigs!" is no different than saying "cool. cant wait to see pics of your car after the RE Amemiya body kit and 10.5 inch Kinesis rims are installed!".

everyone is saying i post negative **** in all posts...when i dont. the only time i am negative is when the thread has to do with knockoff body kits or Konig or ADR rims or anything of that nature. i admit...i am negative in threads relating to that topc, but i dont recall saying anything negative or saying something that can offend somewhen when it has to do with anything OTHER than posts about knockoff ****. i dont know why you guys are saying this.

and i hope this thread is not locked sonn because i enjoy hearing what people have to say about me, weather they are good or bad...bad in this thread's case. some people resort to flaming (widebody2) which can potentially lead to the locking of this thread....then i will be blamed for it.

and no bro (widebody2), i dont dream of owning an FD. i dream of owning a McLeran F1 or Ferrari F-50, because i know it will never happen. but i know for sure i will own an FD in the near (hopefully) future.

also, widebody2...bro...your running 15 PSI and your still on stock injectors?? thats really a good idea. i reccomend you get some larger secondaries if you want your engine to last.

*(chalk one up again for someone that doesnt own an FD having a better knowledge of the car than an FD owner)*
