This doesn't help your image on this forum. Do what you want with your car; however, if you're not mature enough to handle the advice that other experienced members of the forum give you then don't ask for it. It's the internet and everyone has their opinion.

I've had Vis Racing body kits, extreme dimension kits, erebuni kits, etc. on my old Civic and i'm telling you from EXPERIENCE that these products: Don't fit perfect, cost more money to reinforce, and break easier.

So let me get this straight, you're 19 (from the other thread where you called people who know things names), which means you've had your license for 3 years. But you're better qualified to own and operate this car than people who have taken this car apart and put it back together? People who have hashed together their own wire harnesses? People who have spent more time on a dyno than you have "cruising". The rx-7 was supposed to be a drift car eh? Someone better get Amemiya-San on the phone and let him know that his JGTC car should be slideways yo.

A sticker huh? I think the people here would prefer that you support the site by being an intelligent member/ owner rather than attaching a useless advertisement to your soon to be fake body kit wearing car.

I'd take that bet but I have a sneaking suspicion that his "better than thou" attitude is going to get him suspended or banned before that happens.

Haha, you say he's 19 huh? I was exactly his age when i finished off my Civic with a cheapish bodykit . . . . i had to get that bodykit repaired about 6 times due to cracking, warping, the occasional scrape. I eventually had to get some extra reinforcement and more fiberglass to make the kit strong enough to handle daily driving

LOL! read the thread, thanks.

Drifting is MaD TytE yO!

Please bro, I don't need to look it up. I owned my FD when you were still in middle school getting swirlies. and I thought the other thread where you were talking **** to Rynberg was funnny.

talking ****? no1 is talking ****, talking **** is pointless over the internet.. im justifying a point.. if u notice, every thread i make, some1 has to come in and flame on it?? why post at all?? seriously, answer that?? that is a serious ? 4 u, is it to get more posts?? i mean.. if thats all u need is posts, just "bump" it, and drifting is tight.. it takes a lot of skill to perfect.. u ever see a guy in a car drifting?? there's a lotta steps u gotta take just to drift one corner.. go on youtube, and check out drifting. u'll be surprised.. look down on drifting, but u couldnt take a turn w/out wiping the guard rail out.

Because everyone on this thread pretty much agrees that you should get the Authentic kit. Not a cheap *** knock-off. You just don't seem to be able to get that through your head. Just an FYI, a close friend of mine had the same outlook as you. "Why spend more if it's all the same" Guess what? His replica front end looks like absolute S-H-I-T. Its cracked, warped, ill-fitting, pretty much nasty as hell. But hey, its your car!

Edit:
Thanks for the drifting lesson. I've actually gone to 3-4 Drift events here in AZ. I've drifted my car and my friends Supra. Drifting is not my idea of getting the most of my FD.

TT, you seem to have a problem with this forum and think that 80% of the forum are dicks or whatever. Perhaps you should stop and consider that it might just be YOU that's the problem. Hmm....80% of the forum or you. Which do you think is more likely?

all im asking for, is some simple advice on were i can get a decent body kit, for a decent amount of cash.. not that hard to post a website, or give me good advice...
And we've done our best to bash it into your thick skull that you can't get a decent kit for the money you are talking about. Sorry reality is such a bummer! Just what the hell is the matter with the stock body anyway?

We were only trying to tell you that if you buy a cheap kit your going to get a cheap kit. There's a good chance it won't fit good and will be brittle.

If you've ever heard of Garage Saurus in Japan, they build extremely fast drag cars.

The RX-7 was not purpose built to be a drift car, are you serious?

You should begin to listen because you give the younger people that are on this forum a bad name. Ask a question and take whatever advice you are given with some weight to it, especially if its from the more knowledgeable members (like rynberg).

Just because you decide you only want to pay "x" price for something, doesn't mean that it is or will ever be available at that price.

Your chosen words hint at your sarcasm, which does nothing but show your attempt to undermine the credibility of other forum members here. In short, you're picking a fight, whether you acknowledge it or not.

Some of the "older" members here, don't take kindly to people who jump on here spouting their "knowledge" as if you are a guru. Just a word of advice.

Your very mature, if your really think there's not drag racing Japan keep thinking it (not RX-7 specific). I personally favor road racing, I never said the RX-7 was built for drag racing nor is drag raced more then road raced or drifted. Learn about the car since you only had it for a month and take advice when given, that doesn't mean you have to listen but you can be respectful of others opinions.

Edit: I don't want to argue so buy the kit you want, its your car no one else's.

Dom, there's no sarcasm at all.. i say wut i say, nevermind, this is pointless. lol.. w/e.. i never said i was a guru, i do know knowledge of what type of racing goes on in asia.. however, just b/c i've owned the car for 6 weeks, doesnt mean i dont know squat about the car, i bet a kid in 8th grade can outsmart u in a exotic like a lamborghini b/c they read.. which is wut i did, thats why i chose the rx-7, its a very unique car.. and i never said there wasnt dragging that goes on in asia. its just, the car was made 4 power.. and lots of power requires to drift.. the U.S made rx-7's into drag cars. =/ thats our fault.. lol. but anyway, i respect every1's opionion except those who a thrashed me.

about the body kit, i guess, well.. I DO want the c-west, but im not paying retail 4 it, i'd rather buy it used, w/ the holes already drilled in it from some1 else rx7 than to buy a new one for 1500 dollars.

What the hell is up with the use of numbers in your post? You too lazy to type full words out?

Ive owned 3 FD's, and have bought a total of 4 aftermarket bumpers for them. One of them was a knock off, and I will never buy another knock off. It was cheaply made, had no holes in it, and didnt fit right. My R-magic bumper has inset nuts for the fender bolts, fits like a glove and is very well made. Yea, it is costly at $1500 but the money is well worth it because Im never going to have to replace it as long as I dont hit something super hard with it.

As for the RX-7 being built for drift... anyone that would drift an FD is a focking retard. They can drift, but they are not the best cars to do it in. Mazda built the FD for the circuit. I've lived in japan for the last 10 years and Ive seen FD's drag raced by a lot of japanese guys.. hell Ive seen more of them drag raced then drifted. But I know most of them are run on the ciruits.

thanks 4 clearing that up, circuit, still not drag =) #'s?? huh?? yeh, 1500 is just, to insane 4 me.. lol.. i mean, if its a last resort, sure, but i'd rather find a used body kit, than buy a new one, not a aftermarket one, just a c-west used.. u know?? save u lots of money.. that can toward, something else.. if im gonna spend 1500 on a 4 piece body kit, why not just save up and get the Fortune body kit for 11,000?? atleast u get more tahn 4 pieces.. lol.

i totally understand trying to save money. But just letting you know, you'll save more in the long run by buying a quality product over a cheap one. If you can wait till you find a good used one definatly do that.
