Hiya guys... haven\'t been on here for a while, been quietly saving the funds and now...... on it\'s way from Japan is.....



Need to remove that spoiler (too big for me) and change the alloys but otherwise i\'m a happy man. Whaddya think???

That\'s the second FD I\'ve seen from Japan now with a lifted bonnet. Is it a drift thing to aid cooling when going sideways?

According to the details i\'ve got it\'s some sort of spoiler - looks more like an intake to me, but it\'s got that on the headlight so dunno. Will be changing loads on it anyways.

The bonnet being fiited sitting high is to help with cooling, much like a vented bonnet.

Ahh... does that mean it\'s a simple job to drop it back down again??? I\'d prefer it to look slightly less like \'please pull me now mr rozzer\'

although i know they will do anyway!!:rollin

Yep they are simply alloy spacers, you may also have to adjust the locking catch slightly so that it\'ll lock when the bonnet is in the normal position.

Looks nice:cool, I\'ve just bought a black FD, will be the summer track car for me and my associate (housemate ) well once it is up and running....:rolleyes:

Keep your eyes peeled, cos i might sell them on, not sure about the look of them for me, might get the colour changed instead though.... anyone know where and how much to do that???

Really dont thing 3 spokes suit the rx at all tbh, but i know theres other people who will disagree, but with rx7\'s i think deep dish 5 spokes look rather good no

its ok mate i can pick em up in japan for £250 a set so its not really a problem for me to get a set of advans

that is the type of Rex id go for looks nice

[big_spin_flip]

£250 a set!!!! Damn, thought i was sitting on something expensive then....lol.

I agree with Gurj though that 5 spokes look much better - will be getting some as soon as the cheque book allows!!!!

Have to agree with you there; most Rays wheels kick @ss

[MattyGTI-R]

id not sell the wheels for less than £500 if i as you ,

its the freight that hikes up the price of em,

they are expensive and desirable wheels and around £1300 new for a set

looks a very nice Rex all the best with it
