It was actually a green metallic rustoleum I bought from Home Depot lol...I was in a rush and I guess I got lucky that they turned out the way they did.

Well upgraded the C5 with big brakes this last month. HUGE improvement over stockers.


275/45/18's on the C5 to the left, 325/25/20's on the C5 on the right. It's more noticeable from a difference.



14" rotor with 6 piston calipers under a 19x9.5" wheel upfront(needed 3/8" spacers for the calipers to clear the the spokes)



13.4" rotor with 4 piston calipers sitting under a 20x11" wheel in the back. No spacers needed

JustinStrife - C5s are sexy... since you own both, which one would you take if you had to make a choice, the RX7 or the C5?

That's a tough one honestly. I love the styling a little bit more on the FD, I love the smaller feel of it as well(I'm only 5'8"). The C5 was built for the average American Male(5'11" 180+ lbs) so you can definitely tell it's a bigger car than the FD. I also like the interior's lay-out better(except for maybe the gauges). The car also has a lighter feel with the steering and I'd say is more tossable up in the mountains.

Having said that... The C5 gets 30mpg on the freeway, even with 540hp. The torque is also heavenly as if I'm feeling lazy I don't have to shift very often(I skip gears a lot in traffic). It also has far more interior/cargo room(road trips are easy with the space in the hatch), and the car is far, far more comfortable as a driver. It's also easier to have a conversation than my FD since I have the Z06 exhaust(quiet until WOT). The motor is also infinitely more reliable. 14k miles in two years, vs 500 miles in 3 years on the FD. I'm also on my original, stock, virgin motor at 121k miles(same clutch and rear end too). The FD is on it's second.

I can't choose man. It's just not fair. I love them both. Just wish I could drive and enjoy my FD more than I do...

My dream is to replace my streetport, with a massaged LS7 but then I wouldn't really belong at the RX7 meets anymore.
