You know, its not that bad, the body kit from the first one (posted by tekno62) Is not TOO ricey, the wing has got to go, the car needs to have the same body kt put on the rear bumper, it looks naked without the same kit,like it was leaning forward. The kit does not vary TOO much from the stock lines, ompared to other kits Ive seen out there, I say its pretty nice.

Original ebay rx7: wing bad. I like the sideskirts(and agree with racer4life, needs rear skirts to complete). Color meh, not my fav.

Orange one: I don't like the veilside, wing, or color. Sorry. Sounds like you're not a fan of how it ended up though either.

2nd ebay rx7: ummm... trash.

Yeah I really liked my car when I had it done but now I dont know what the **** I was thinking.

As soon as I get the engine work done Im gonna have the body kit ripped off the paint stripped and get the 99 spec front, 99 spec wing, mazdaspeed hood, and the apexi side skirts and paint it red or black.

Who puts those wings on their cars. I mean seriously, does anyone like that crap. Sometimes I see that sort of thing on a Cavalier, Neon and Civic and I think, jeez that is the only way to make those cars uglier. There are several nice looking spoilers out there, why do people insist on this crap.

I just looked over the description on that third car. It says that the owner had underbody lights (red) installed so that the car looks just like the Fast and the Furious. Please someone, hunt that kid down and take away his rotary. Hopefully the next car he f's up is something that doesn't have the inherent beauty of the FD.

I think the second Ebay entry is just what I'm looking for.... a parts car. It would also put it out of it's obvious misery.

I am hoping Wankellover is using his ironicalist skills in his post. I do think new vocabulary is alright to describe the Ebay cars although I don't if I would have used awesomest. Although if English is your second language Wankellover, I apologize as I am an American and only speak English like most of us.

Very nice. I especially like the elimination of the intercooler duct so that the intercooler can get more air. It also looks like he was very creative with his intake piping and borrowed a few accordion elbows from other cars to get one filter down to the bottom of the engine bay... custom.

I like how he says he bought the car with 10K miles, and put 2K miles on it, so now it has 11,200 miles And he dropped in a used engine with 52K?

Look at the wiring for the stereo... there's a power cable snaking over the strut tower on the driver's side and heading for the corner of the fender. $5 says they ran it out of the back of the engine bay instead of finding a grommet to put it through and probably drilled a hole in the door jamb. It's not the worst I've seen, but it's right up there... at least it looks like there's a fuse holder in it up by the brake master cylinder.

When I was working in a stereo shop while I was in college, we had one guy come in with lamp cord (guess he wanted a redundant system if the wire he was using shorted out) used for power cable, and he twisted the wires together and insulated them with... Band-aids. He also ran the wire out the back of the engine bay and down between the fender and the door.
