Do you know whose car that is? You do know that it doesn't have airbags, right?

Air ride actually isn't the smoothest ride. I was on the scene for several years with the club Sittin Pretti and my friend has air ride on his show car... Driveability wasn't so smooth, often fittings will leak and hoses will blow, if you want tons of problems and a constant money pit, get the air ride... If you wanna have a car ride smooth and not have to constantly work on your suspension, get coilovers... Trust me... Air ride is only good for slamming the car/truck to the ground when parked and getting stupid people to ask you how you drive it that low... If you plan on driving your car at all, DO NOT get air ride. You'll be in for a rude awakening. Unless you;re so dedicating and gung ho about having it that you're willing to dedicate time to fixing your suspension... As well as your rotary powerplant

Ya that's JPT. I know it's not airbagged, I was just saying how good a slammed 7 can look and still perform good.

hm, i think some other people have a better look in mind sometimes.........most of the time. i love the look of the rx7, no question that back in the late 80's it was the ****, thats obvious, but this is 2007, and alot of people like the custom 1 off never-before-seen look. i know i do.
hell, if we just learned to love the stock look, people like chip foose wouldent be around.
wow

build a nice autocross car and then take it to shows to SHOW IT OFF.

DON'T build a car to show people but won't go anywhere.

stick with what pleases the eye. Gaudy things are great, to laugh at, nothing more.

You want it to stand out among a sea of attention ******. You want a car that says "Come get a closer look" instead of "me, me, me, look at me, over here, look, look here, look, hey hey, hey, look at me."

KI.S.S.
Keep It Simple Stupid


That looks good to me and I'm sure some might agree.

I'd be proud to show that off. Nice paint, nice rims, lip, sides, rear skirt, and 350hp.

Mind you, I only post what I LIKE, which isn't what the majority will like. So if you have a different Idea then post it.


Stan did it right. Fun car that makes ppl drool:
RIP Stan's car.

Dude the thread vanished. It was the New Coilovers for FD FC thread by the Powered By max guy. There was a bad *** Black S4 Tii, with mock RE-A cage, rolled/pulled fenders, and wicked paint job. Why, Mods, why?! Why?!? WHY!?!?!
