Fail.

They're one of the few RX-7 lights with seperate colored lenses. It seems all blocky, like it belongs on a more boring econobox type car. I like the smoked compound lens. The light just seems more like one piece and flows together.


I feel the same about the SA vs FB tails.

Dude. That's how eBay works. I snipe EVERYTHING. (Even in FPS, I'm a rabid camper.)

If it doesn't end when I'm at home and can watch the ending moment, I hardly even look at the auction.

appears so. hashing it out with the seller now over email but i think hes in college so hes really slow to respond.



seriously check out the bidding list and timestamps on them
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=200095259016
i was bidder 6


so im looking at 5000 for car + ~700 for shipping + ~400 to get turbo replaced by Garrett.
so about 6100 bucks for a car that has potential to be making 450-500HP (i gotta fix some of the stuff he did to it. Venom Injectors...EWWW)

You've gotta compare them to something though.

Judging the appearance of anything is a comparison.

I tried to give away some S4 taillights and couldn't. I had tried to sell them on eBay for $10 before that and no takers. I finally threw a set of them away because they were so ugly sitting on the shelf I couldn't take it anymore.

One step closer to democracy.....

MD just passed a plan to do away with the electoral college partly. the state will start giving its 10 electoral college votes to the national popular vote winner. theyre trying to push other states to do the same. If it works, we wont have asshats like bush ruining the country anymore...we will be back at Clinton like people who only cheat on their spouses.

For the record thanks to f1blueRx7 my car is once again up and running
He helped me reground it after a shop aparently thought that having wires touch was just as good as having them secured.

It's really hard to walk into work with a straight face when the guy behind you is whistling the theme song from the superman movies as yer opening the door.

I'm also getting impatient about getting my new car. FInally tracked down the place that makes my custom turbo so I can send it off to be fixed (same place that has the rx-7 connecting rods). the company looks their store selection sucks, but they make good custom turbos.
