my buddy pulled a gsl-se motor and stuffed it in a toyota starlet
sold it before it was completly finished
had a aftermarket intake with a 4bbl carb I think & a header
we used to push it out of the garage and wake the neighbors with it
anyways.........WELCOME

yeah... I think my account is kinda hosed...

The front page of the 3rd gen section doesn't update either. All of the posts show zero replies, and when there is a new post in teh thread, it doesn't move the thread to the top of the list.


I replied to the "how much did you pay thread" and it still stayed on the 2nd page of the section?!?

errrrr, huh?

PS- As part of my intro, I'd like acknowledge my enormous number of typos personal flaw...

I like the black and red, but thank you for removing the hood pins. I know its hard to hold back that raging 130 hp engine but I think it will be ok.

Why are you getting rid of the exhaust? Is it the full cat-back or just the muffler?

When they fix the site, these posts better count. I should be near 1000 by now.

To asnwer questions;

Actally I'm not sure what tint % it is... I think 15% on teh front two windows, and tad bit darker on everything behind it.

Side note... It it just mine, or do tehse things not have any sort of factory tint @ the top of the windshield? This is the 1st car I've ever driven without that and it's kinda annoying.


As far as why I am replacing the exhaust? Well, I may not. It was droning very loudly on teh highway, but I put in the little sielencer and it seems much nicer. It's just a muffler that's been welded in right by the rear wheel there, not a full upgrade.

eric, if you are serious about trading your e-brake I'm up for it...BUT i think the only way to do it is to remove the entire assembly and just switch the entire thing b/c i think in order to put on a different handle/grip, you have to cut the factory one off

I've still got zero posts... quite complaining


And about the e-brake handle.. If it's too involved I think I'm just gonna leave it for now. It's big & bulky, but I gotta have something to block the red light coming from the "start" button wired in underneath it....

What do you guys think about some Enkei RPM2's on a lowered black P5? I'm thinking 17's...

here's some pics of them on another rx7

nuts, no remote linking, ok, the pics are here; http://trinityrx7.50megs.com/photo.html

Those rims look sweet. I think they would look good on a P5.
