Where's the trailer stripes?!

+1!!!

You're gonna have to custom paint those

 

[Jim Prower]

My suggestion for the trailer stripes...

Inkjet decal paper, combined with...

Or your favorite high-quality image editing program.

 

[mazdaman]

This model sucked but i suppose it turned out okay......

Do you know where i can get a rc body style like that?

(Psst... we've just seen the photos - we didn't need to see them all again...)

@ Thatman - next thing in your car budget should be a better camera! The model looks good though, and glad you're enjoying the real thing too 👍

 

[Thatman]

Hey thanks guys on the comments,and I know I need my stripes so thanks Jim Prower for the suggestion. Ill have to check my local hobby stores for that but Im not such a wiz at Image editing

@mazdaman
Sadly no, but a quick google search found this: http://www.yokomousa.com/kits/drift_package/street_version/dp_street.htm

@homeforsummer
You mean like this?

Laziness FTW

 

[homeforsummer]

That's more like it, yeah 👍

 

[Thatman]

Right, so not all that we wanted to do but we needed to play some forza so we just got the header on and called it a day.
Oh and my dad got a different car. 1995 Park avenue(we have three again)but he paid the dealer price of $3000 It has 143k.
Now then PICS!!!!

Okay onto the swapping of headers....
Heres what we got

And then we had a few problems with one little nut...

so we got that off and it looked like this...

It was also then decided that we dont care about the condtion of the vehicle and took off the cam cover. after that, we had to get some mounts holding it on, so I opted to go the easy way....

Making my friend do it of course! Then that left us with this...and part of a flex pipe:

And yes I did use more engine spray paint

(BTW Language warning 1 time f-bomb)
It hurt my ears....

And there you have it!
I did speed off but there was little memory and he started too early, oh well, it sounded quite loud....im not going to drive that around town....

 

[Thatman]

Now today we added the las bit of the exhaust

the neighbors didnt like that., and the snow didnt help.....

 

[Thatman]

So I found out that my rx7 has a handy dandy master cylinder leak!

 

[mustangGT90210]

Well how nice is that?! You must be ecstatic!

 

[Thatman]

Heck yeah! What makes it even better it that just doing it myself will cost $80 woot!

 

[Thatman]

yep not much this week....

the other side was about 1/8 an inch to the fins

 

[mazdaman]

Man,I'd cut those rotors andhave it looking like the one in the second picture.

 

[Rotary Junkie]

Except... You wouldn't.

 

[mazdaman]

Except... You wouldn't.

Well,not that rusted up but I can get it to look like that.

 

[Rotary Junkie]

Except the rust isn't the issue...

 

[mazdaman]

Any updates on the rx7?

 

[Thatman]

I suppose; My master cylinder got taken care of but the other problem of why it leaked out so fast was that its going out the front right brake caliper
So now I get to find some new ones...problem is why go through all that work and not do rotors and pads? But the rotors and pads are literally like brand new. So What Im thinking is Drive it like it is for now cause who cares about the looks fot the stock wheels with with snow tires right? And when spring rolls around ill grab some nice pads and rotors👍. Buuut on other news, i might install a tachometer on my Buick and......we got the eclipse a wing..... OH NO!!!

 

[mazdaman]

Question are you still looking for a turboii for sale?

 

[Thatman]

You mean an Engine? Not likely until the NA motor goes, and as for the car? Only if its an S5 and under $3500 why?

 

[mazdaman]

I was just curious because for under 3500 you can get a jdm turboii motor and ii=2

 

[Thatman]

Meh, I saw a 3rotor and tranny on ebay for $3,300 but for that Id either have to be making over 2000/mo or get a car out of it too to justify that. As of right now I gotta take care of my brakes

 

[Thatman]

lol

OMG,

No its not on, the bolts are not long enough but still....

Wow, wow....well at least its adding about 200 hp

 

[Rykon Zero]

Put it on the front. I dare you.

 

[Thatman]

^maybe I will

 

[Rykon Zero]

It'd be unique AND functional. If not utterly retarded looking. Then again, it'd be that way either way.

 

[Jim Prower]

where did you come across this?

 

[mazdaman]

where did you come across this?

That I'm still trying to figure out I mean only time I seen that was with CHRIS RADO.

 

[Thatman]

Maybe we could find a second mini on and do that.......
