1979 sa22c rx-7 (on a budget)

[hairnet]

noice

colour code the spoiler

plate is ok but position re think - square one sided looks odd - woul a stick on 6x2 plate on the nose look ok as its a white car?

do I have to do a rough p shop!?

Yes.... ;D

No can do stick on front plate.....i hate them with a passion

Why should we have to have front plates?......Bikes don't

The only other thing i think would look good would be a small thin one on the front spoiler lip.....then again,from other angles the one on there looks ok so i might just leave it....maybe just permanently angle it back.

[montythemole]

Very nice. Normally hate stick on arches and Lax Power stuff like that but with the whole J/drift inspiration it really works! Keep the spoiler but maybe body coloured with a thin black edge on it?

[reanimation]

that'll teach me!

[reanimation]

of course p shop was not nessesary!

[Snoozin]

Nice Series 1! Love the arches, a lot of folk do that around these parts but with more extreme ones, the more subtle flares look very nice.

Keep the spoiler too.

Ahh i see....makes it look too much like the newer one which in turn makes it look too modern imo,i like the oddness of the rear

Cool,ta.....i think i'm gonna ;D

I would've like to have gone for more extreme arches,but the budget was not going to stretch to super wide rims and tyres,after all,this car is just practice for the Celica when i get it!

Oh, the 'rocco kit on this is in-freakin-spired. Good show, Sir!

So was it just the arches that you used? More details please...

Oh, and +1 for the spoiler.

Thanks ;D

On the original kit the arches blend into the skirts forming a one piece look



I was going to do that but the rx7 wheels base was just slightly too long so i got the grinder out and shaped the arch pieces to fit......the other choice was series one eccy turbo arches



But as the 'rocco ones came up on the bay 40 quid cheaper i went for those.......kinda wished i went for the eccy ones now! I may splash out the £99 from the bay at a later date....at least the 'roccos are abs and flexible though.

Ah well

[stuyizz]

Arches..... yes

Spoiler..... yes

Wheels....yes for a budget

Number plates...... I'm now of the thinking that number plates are not part of the car... purely there for legal reasons, you've got to have one and how you've mounted the front one looks about as good as you can hope, like you say, idealy you'd do with out, like I did for four months last year ;D

Anyone else noticed the clear plastic fuel filler flap? Genius!

I thought it was taken off and posh locker fitted inside.

[hammoj28]

That looks stunning! Credit to you.

[grizz]

Where do I find one of these dummies ? Or pacifiers ??

PM me please if anyone knows.

[hongkongphooey]

Engine....(not much to see really apart from my home made induction pipe)




And a box of bits of emissions and other assorted curse word that have been removed!

[twincammy]

that really is some great work there dude!
my 2p worth on the plates-
imported cars (i know your car is a uk car) are allowed plates which are the same size as motorcycles, the correct size is actually 6X12" with a font of 51mm?? this would fill out your rear panel that bit nicer i think.

[Robinxr4i]

Awesome, love every part of it!

[DarrenW]

What is there to say that hasn't been said already? Love it

Yeah,maybe.....hmmmmm.

Anyway......ta for the appreciation guys...Although i've done it only for me and my tastes,it's always nice when other people agree ;D
