Lovely clean car mate, like it, Is it standard vintage red as looks super clean and most red ones ive seen look a bit pink. Looks like a fresh bit of paint to me but excellently done and a lovely colour.
 
Interior is not for me but each to their own an all that.

No its not the vintage red as to me it was to dull, its be resprayed ferrari red. Trying to keep it looking nice and clean.

Quote from: FD3S Efini;631528wat have you done to the front lights to make them look like that?

Which lights do you mean? Fogs or main\'s? Mains are xenon lights hence the bright and white look, (really makes the car look more modern), and fogs are after market ones that have that effect where its slight diff colour which ever way you look at them.

Thanks, tried some artistic shots lol, and it is indeed the RX8 knob as i think its the best looking gear-knob available. Perfect weight, shape and design!

Well there actually silver dials to match my internal paintjob, they look seamless in life, really love them but it don\'t transfer over pictures very well. They also got red led backing to make it brighter.

I used a company called blackcatcustoms they can create any design colour you wNt and add any logo or writing you want. Good way to personalise the car or give you the spirit r look lol

I know my car isn\'t a hugly modded feed beast or a fourtune kit monster like my dads but my tastes are simple. I love the standard look but want it to look moderised, like it just rolled off the factory :)

Hopefully I\'m acheiving that

Nice to know there\'s a Rex driver close to me lol, I\'m guessing it\'s not me you saw as my wife can\'t drive so only me driving.

Do you own a black RX7? Seen one around bramley area a few times.

Sure the missus hasn\'t taking it for a wild spin while you\'re at work ?!? lol

Anyway...Yes, got a Black Kazama kitted FD but not been to Bramley in some time, but have driven near there recently on some random country road drives though...
Finding quite a few members from this area the past few months... :p

Looks great bud, think you\'ve managed the look you wanted, it\'s like it rolled of the production line yesterday.
I noticed the typical RX petrol gauge reading too!

Yeah I haven\'t seen it for a while, just remember seeing a black one on the road leading to Tadley.

Is there a few RX7\'s round this area then? Think I have only seen yours. (Your FD is stunning by the way). Are there any local meets or drives or anything?

I had the lights installed by jason at super 7 as its a little tricky to fit them in if you don\'t know what your doing. wasn\'t an expensive job though
