cars looks good love those wheels.

TheAnalogKiddd 03-19-13 11:16 AM

very nice indeed..

how did you/what did you use to redye the interior?

Screamin FC 03-19-13 11:29 AM

@10aeRX7- trust me i do too lol. and i couldnt believe i found these. my buddy brought them back with him while he was stationed in japan. and they switched hands multiple times and got sold with a car. somehow someone from my town bought another car that these same wheels ended back up on lol. but i contacted work wheels and gave them all of the specs(to include all of the information on the 1 and only serial tag on the inside of one wheel.) and at first he asked me if i wanted to sell them, but then after i gave him all of the information on them he told me that these are one of 5 sets of 17x9.5's/17x10's that were made in 4 lug being factory from work all polished. and its a shame that almost all of the serial tags are coming off the inside of the wheels but theyve been on drift cars ever since ive known of these wheels and im sure have seen tons and tons of new tires being on and off and over time the tags just end up going with them i suppose. and the fix-a-flat in them when i first got them sure as hell didnt help either lol

@TheAnalogKiddd- i used actual vinyl/fabric spray from advanced auto. and rather than actually take the door panels off and do it what some people would consider "the right way", i taped off the hell out of the door. actually, when i did all of the redying (floor boards/rear mats) i left everything installed into the vehicle except for the factory floor mats and the seats. but the spray worked great, it stays a little stiff for the first few days but after that it goes back to feeling completely normal.

Stance can't get any sexier keep it up

Screamin FC 03-19-13 11:56 AM

@Samito Built- thanks man. shes definetly coming along slowly but surely. im actually looking for(which ive found :D ) a set of Bride low max with takata harnesses that im going to try to pick up. its just all about the money lol. and unfortunately this rx7 had alot of rust on the fenders, which i found out the hard way when i rolled them to fit the wheels. it severly destroyed the bottom of the fenders. im going to end up changing them out. i found a set for only 100 bucks, but its still a matter of getting the money together. and i know people arent a big fan of it but im probably going to plastidip it for this season. as stated i recently got on with Insane Stance and Offset so im trying to get through my prospect period relatively quick and get bannered up for springfest in may

**UPDATE**
well. with the straightpiped exhaust being ungodly loud, and i just moved into my new place, i decided to be corteous to my neighbors and go get a muffler installed on my car...especially because i leave for work at 545 in the morning lol. but its some magnaflow muffler that i pulled off an eclipse in the junkyard at some point and time. and honestly.......I HATE IT. i still have the clutch fan in my car (and dont hate me, im still working on getting that done too lol) and i can hear the damn fan over the exhaust now. its damn near stock loudness now, the exhaust note sucks, and on top of that....im still running damn near straightpiped with this damn fartcan. but stupid quite fartcan. dont get me wrong, it looks good and all.......but thats all it does. later down the road im going to try to pick up an APEXi muffler but this magnaflow is pathetic lol. but heres a picture of it.

Why would we hate you for having a clutch fan?

well...im coming from the wonderful land of 240's and al the s chassis nutswingers hate the factory clutch fans. and im still fairly new to rx7's and how our people are. unfortunately ive had some pretty shitty experiences in dealing with a couple FD guys, and alos a shop owner that professionally races FB/SA22c's that completely dogged my car and called it a piece of shit because i took it down there and was asking him about pricing for painting my car. this is why i said hate me for a clutch fan though. ALOT of s-chassis hate em and idk how 7 owners react quite yet lol

do it! i love it and it literally fits perfect. no cutting or trimming. and i dont know how you feel about the rougher a lil more haggard look, but you could always do the famed drift stitch on it. sometimes looks pretty decent depending on how the rest of your build of course.

Most of the time they work just as good if not better than e-fans, but I certainly understand where you're coming from with it maybe not being considered as "cool" (no pun intended) or aesthetically pleasing.

Ya maybe! Haven't seen much of the stitch look, and it might look better on my track rx7 once I get that build going.... Once this one is done! Check out my build! "Still gonna do twin turbos, but lets get this one going first" or "13b na -> 13b tt"

But I do love the sticker bomb look!

Sorry thread jack!

Screamin FC 03-22-13 12:43 PM
