Some Pics of my Pride and Joy

SleepyDude · April 22, 2009, 04:32:45 PM

Hello again guys,

Been a while since i posted but thought i would upload some pictures of my Rex and see what you guys think.

So any suggestions on nice mods? I\'m adding a diffuser and thinking about adding some side skirts that will look blended in with the car. My last thread was about whether i should add the scoot style bonnet but i have seen so many guys opt for this and worried that it will take away from the cars lines?

Let me know what you guys think (sorry for poor image quality not sure what image host is best?)

The scoot bonnet is one of the best, but then i would say that :p
If you dont want to chnage the lines of the car to much then some FEED side skirts would be nice

Looks great with the 99spec bumper mate !!

I would ditch the rear lights and get some normal ones mate. Or perhaps get the normal centre as that tones them down a bit. Miguel (Newera) had a set and with the standard middle lights it looked pretty good.

Yeah as Adam says you can go for Feed ones that are subtle, they look nice on a red car.

I like the wheels.

Cheers, the wheels are Axe alloys that i had a custom paint job done on. They shine silver in the sunlight and have a gun metal shine in normal light, look great, def one of my cars best points lol

very nice mate not too keen on the rear lights though

gyles18 · April 22, 2009, 07:57:26 PM

i\'m with the others, ditch the rear lights, set of feed side skirts and an re-amemiya street diffuser or pro diffuser and you have a got a winner there! will look pretty sweet.......
not sure on the scoot bonnet on a relatively stock car imo....would look a bit out of place....maybe a feed bonnet would look good?

SleepyDude · April 22, 2009, 09:17:12 PM

Cheers for all the feed back, thought i would show you the inside as i have had this done up with new paint job and custom dials with high impact l.e.d backlights.

My aim is not to destroy the RX7 just do a few touches here and there on the bits that are looking a bit dated. I think I\'m on the right track but as for rear lights haven\'t seen any that i like. Any people would suggest?

Love the wheels and front bumper.... never been a fan of those rear lights but apart from that great. Feed sideskirts look good in carbon on red.

Hi RX7 · April 30, 2009, 12:15:58 PM

Well im getting married in a few weeks and thought maybe I should get a sensible car. I am really not wanting to part with my pride and joy so unless i get a good offer for it i will be very happy to keep it.

How did you know it was for sale? Only put on piston heads last night lol

I have owned my car for over a year and didn\'t know there where any meets near me lol

I would love to come along, when do you normally meet? Is there a site or forum for the Hampshire Jap Car club?

Cheers buddy

Selling up just cos you\'re getting married!!?!?!?!!!

Ditch the new wife mate, if those are the terms

Great looking clean fd! I like the rear lights, but would replace the centre piece for the original.
Love the double din screen inside!

Hi RX7 · April 30, 2009, 05:00:20 PM

If you type in Hampshire Jap car club you\'ll get it, introduce yourself and don\'t forget pictures of your car are compulsory, there was a good meet at Portsdown Hill the other week with quite a big turn out so if you join (like here its free as a guest) you\'ll get to know about meets there are about 3 of us with RX7\'s

SleepyDude · April 30, 2009, 05:03:54 PM

LOL Actually she loves car, she even named it! she doesn\'t want me to sell it, but the car is costing me a fortune and its 2 seats ain\'t practical.

I don\'t think I will sell, I mean the cars at haywards now getting work done on it lol.

I\'m not convinced by the lights myself but really there isn\'t much choice. And standard ones are boring lol

MaLicE · April 30, 2009, 05:55:31 PM

put some 99 spec rears on it, them lights are ruining it... or tint them heavily...

oh what headunit is that ?
