New pics of my FD

So this is why I haven't slept much in 9 mouths. No, the car is not ready. It's always close. I'm in the game now, and it sucks. Pretty much; if I change a tire, I blow a fuse or the hood falls off. I'm serious, completely unrelated things. I fix one problem and another one is there to take it's place. No really big problems, just enough to keep me working on something all the time. Taking these picks and seeing what I've built (with help) is very worth it. I hope you like the pics.

Thanks guys. The wheels are sport max. They are cheap, but work for now. The guage pod was made for me. I holds my wide band guage. Works out very well for me and my tuner to be able to read it. Thanks again guys.

I wouldn't get all caught up in the "if your wheels don't cost $3k, they suck" mess most of the forum seems to be in... If you like the wheels, thats all you can ask. IMO, the wheels look great on your car.

Get some updated turn signals and you'll be all set.

Thanks. I really don't get too hung up about wheels. I have the stock wheels that I think look great. They are my track set up. Things get beat up on a road course, as you guys know, so the cost was right on these wheels for the look I wanted in the street.

I hope to get to the cosmetic stuff over the winter. Updated turn signales, sleek head lights, and new paint(same color) are all on the menu to be ready for Spring of 07. Again thanks guys.

Spot on

Not everyone has $3k to throw at wheels, not everyone wants too.

For me, your car looks damn good!

I'm glad you guys see it that way. I have some $ wrapped up in my wheel set up but I think I did it in a way that isn't that expencive. The wheels in the pics were $150 each for the rears (18x9.5) and $140 each in the front (18x8.5). Tires in the front are Falken Azenis and on the rear I have Michilin PS2. For auto X, I have the stock wheels with the Azenis in the front and Hoosier slicks in the back. If I go to a road course I run Azenis on all four corners on the stock wheels. This was the most make sence way for me to get what I wanted with out dropping $5K + on wheels and tires. Again, I'm glad everyone has liked the car. It was built to go to the track. But, I love how it looks on the street.

Car looks great, those wheels are very nice looking, I can't believe how little you paid for them.

I agree with mahjik, get some of the updated smoked front turn signals from rx7store and it'll make the car look even better

Goodfella- I heard you were coming into Columbus sometime soon. Maybe we can set something up for the RX7 guys to get together.
