Hi Guys,
Was looking at Nemesis Performance website and came across these 2 beauties that I thought I\'d share.
The car looks awesome.
I presume its a Veilside kit with some kind of Wide Arch kit ?
Love the Veilside wing with carbon in it, looked at the price on Nemesis, not cheap but very cool.
I also like the Gauge pods..very shiny
What do you guys think?
Just a quick question how come there arent many Black Bodykitted RX7s ? They all seem to be Red, Silver or White.
Cheers
Gareth

Got to love those deep rear rims
Shows how taste is a personal thing. Gods that car is ugly IMHO, especially that nose.
Nice......................indeed:) :)
Not to bad......centainly like the wheel arches not to sure about the rest of the kit tho!
Scott.
Shithot! I\'ve always had a thing for VeilSide but I\'ve never had the bottle to glue one of their kits to my 7. My car\'s black and (soon to be) kitted up.
Love those arches...love them!!!!!!:eek:
Will they fit with my veilside c1 sides do you think???
:confused:
Dan!!
The sides on that car look like C1 to me anyway, im not really a Veilside expert.
If someone is going to get arches like that though, then imho they need to get the original arch cut out the way and run wheels with a decent offset (or at least a big spacer) to avoid it looking silly.
eugh wot a mess..
Think u have answered your own question.

My technospeeds i have coming over are fairly wide lee....9" front and 10" rears....
Front is 9"wide +41 offset.
Back is 10" wide with +45 offset.
What do you reckon lee.....will this be wide enough?
I really quite fancy these.

The width isnt that imprtant in this case, its the offset thats going to determine how far out they come.
Will be fine for standard arches, but if you had arches like that they would be so far inside it would end up looking silly (personal opinion, but you really want the arches filled like in the pic).
You could keep the same wheels and just run a spacer. I have a feeling it might need to be pretty big though, maybe 20mm or more. Cant really say just from seeing a picture of the arch.
Lee
Yea i deffo agree about the wheels filling arches like that....widearches and wrong offset wheels look terrible.
Hmmm....deffo thinking about this tho.
Dan!!
i think it looks as mean as :) .. it\'s very full on and i can understand why its not to everyones taste.
Veilside are moving away from this kind of look now though and putting all their effort into the "Fortune" range.
Dan if those arch extensions won\'t work how bout rolling the arches out yourself slightly ??? .. Lee do you think this kinda arch rolling works on FD\'s ?? .. am considering it for mine .. will obviously need spacers though i guess
Just to add to your thoughts then, if you do decide you wanted to run a massive spacer the studs may not be long enough so you might need to change them too.
Its not something Ive ever looked at but they cant come out that far.
Lee
Black kitted out RX-7:

If an RX-7 looks like the white one it should have the power to back up the look :)
Do you know what the spec of that car is? It certainly has presence on the road, its huge :eek:
Hey dan u leave is budget racers alone!:p
The 3rd gen is 1 of the nicest looking cars about why ruin it by making it a plastic pig?

surely its a case of each to their own there m8 ?? .. if someone is happy with a standard engine but wants the looks etc ?? nothing wrong with that is there ??? ...
mine has a full RE-A kit on it .. .standard engine tho :)
and as its black .. and got a kit on it here\'s a pic :D :D :D
Lee....another good thought that, something to take in consideration.
Iain....haha! IMHO renault shouldnt have put viper stripes down one side of a clio, but hey;)
Chris.....they are that fast even in standard form that rx7\'s can carry off wild kits anyway.
Like its been said, everyone to their own and all that....world would be very boring if we all liked the same stuff, wouldnt it:)
Peace ya\'ll
Dan!!:wave

Thats also whats known as........
the dogs danglies!!!
Nice man.
Dan!!
Think his clio in his avator is the celerbratory one. Those stripes were on their R5 back in the day.
Sorry wasn\'t saying that people shouldn\'t put bodykits on their car if its stock. I ment when I see an RX-7 like that it makes me think its super dooper fast single turbo best and it flames and stuff :)
I have just been looking thro some veislide pics, think i should be allright without any spacers for these widearch extensions...take a look at them without and with the arches.......

thoughts?
Dan!!
Its hard to see as the black matches in with the tyres. Infact really bad pic.
What I would say is this.
The wheels look different to me. The wide arch wheels appear to have a lower offset (to push them out more). You can see this looking at the size of the dish on the front wheel in particular. Its noticably bigger.
Lee
In fact they are even a different design lol.
Them wheels will have been specced to fill the arch - if you swapped them over both cars would look silly :p
I think if the wide arch kit was in chrome and then the alloys in anything but chrome it will look cool.
But as Lee says the alloys are changed to make the kit look feesible bud?
Gurj
Yea, i see now....hmmm....spacers it is then i think.
My technospeeds will have white spokes with polished rims, and i think with my colour car, this kit extension should go with the style of my car ok.
I\'m gonna try and source some i think:)
thanks for the thoughts guys.
Dan!!
Sorry Dan didnt mean to pee people off with my comments.
Of course the whole point of modding a car is to make it more personal. I dont want to slate peoples hard work (esp as i havent got a rex yet).
If your interested Christopher was correct, the stripes on my cup are Gordini stripes that where on renaults race cars in the 70s.
I put em on my car so it stood out frim the sea of clios at meets
:wave
Haha...no probs iain, i was only having a kid about!
Yea, there you go, gordini stripes to stand out....cool!
A lad i work with has one thats silver with some white speedlines on it, looks good!
He might be on your club board,... Johnny Spray.
Dan!!
