Used to be Montego.

I had to get it painted because i was caught up in a tornados hail.

I hated Montego so I payed extra and had them change it to Innocent blue instead of redoing the Montego blue.

You guys that say they hate MBM, I wonder if you have ever seen new or fully restored MBM? I have a montego, and I love it. My FD buddies used to say that they thought it was the ugliest color in the world, until I got it back form the detailer.. Now, they all love it.

Striker 11-18-2003 03:49 PM

yeah, well taken care of montego looks awesome. there are a couple i have seen that look like crap.

AgentSpeed 11-18-2003 04:02 PM

I think it varies. I've seen some that look great and others that just look green and ugly. I don't like tan interior either and that is just about all I saw...

93 R1 11-18-2003 06:05 PM

I agree. AVAN has a clean ass Montego FD. It looks sweet.

FikseRxSeven 11-18-2003 07:15 PM

my car used to be montego blue.... i got bored with it and i hate green

AgentSpeed 11-18-2003 07:47 PM

There is a guy around town that just bought a MB FD. I pulled into Auto Zone to introduce myself and told him nice green FD. He didn't take the joke too well and informed me that it was NOT green. We haven't talked since https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif

Fd3BOOST 11-18-2003 07:51 PM

I have owned two Montego Blues and both were extremely clean (come on now, do you think I would own a dirty car? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR )

Like I was sayin, I have had two and i got sick of the color. Its ok but i am much happier with IBM .

Striker 11-18-2003 07:54 PM

tan interior??? my dad has black leather in a 93 touring.

AgentSpeed 11-18-2003 08:02 PM

I've test drove three MB and know of two others. All but one was tan. Maybe I just had bad luck...

Fd3BOOST 11-18-2003 08:06 PM

MY first was a 93 Base. It had tan interior.

My 2nd was also tan interior. Its black now.

AgentSpeed 11-18-2003 08:10 PM

Back to the IBM, I do like the color but I'd prefer the Blue on the '99 RX-7's. What ever that color is... I wish I could paint mine that color. Might one day after the white gets old.

That doesn't look like the dark blue. Maybe I've had too much crack lately!

This is an excerpt from a friend in Japans website....



http://www.akimitsu.net/rx-7-en/rx-7-en.htm



In August 2002, Mazda has stopped their Rotary Engine sports car RX-7(FD3S) production. Before stopping the production, Mazda had released the final version of

RX-7 named "Spirit R". The Spirit R was produced only for 1500 manias. Fortunately I could be one of Spirit R owners.



The Spirit R has 3 models, Type A, B, and C. My Spirit R is Type A with some special items like Bilstein shock absorbers, 17inch BBS wheels and BS Potenza S-07 tires, special brake system, Recaro seats etc.



I am so much satisfied with her. Her styling is very beautiful, her blue dress(Innocent Blue Mica) is really gorgeous. The Rotary engine is so much powerful. I will introduce more about Mazda RX-7 later.

And this is the 99 spec mazda Innocent blue mica..

AgentSpeed 11-18-2003 08:22 PM

Hell, I guess that's it but it looks darker in the pics I had. I like a blue blue color personally. To me, your car looks a little lighter. It's probably just the lighting since I've yet to see one in person. Regardless, thanks for setting me straight! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

look dave..... no wing

AgentSpeed 11-18-2003 08:23 PM

*lays the crack pipe down*

Fd3BOOST 11-18-2003 08:23 PM

Now you do understand that paints (especially metallics and , or micas) can tend to change or appear to change colors and hues under different lighting.



So i know you might think that it isnt what you have in mind as IBM but rest asured it is all the same paint code 20p.

AgentSpeed 11-18-2003 08:25 PM

And all this time I thought there were two different blues in Japan (not counting the MB)
