I typo that word every single time I type it<~~~ say that 5 times fast! I did just get those Auto Meter carbon fiber face gauges, and a knob from Voodoo that looks great though.

While we are at it, whats the purpose of spending all that money ona carbon fibre hood just to have it go to **** because you dont want to paint it, and I quote: "so everyone can see the exotic materials its constructed of". Not for nothing, I cant ( or rather dont want to ) afford a car like that, but Ill be dammed if I spend that kind of money on a carbon fibre hood and NOT paint it, so others can see its carbon fibre, thats just an example of someone doing something to thier car solely so others can ooh and ahh.

BRAVO, ur reading me mind, yeah i also noticed all those dumb tachs etc.

Are you talking about this Voodoo? If so, which of their knobs will fit an RX-7?

That car would almost have been bettered featured in Lowrider magazine. The DVD's were a little over kill if you ask me. After all your suppose to drive your Seven not watch movies in it! BTW whats the point of reducing the weight with the carbon fiber hood if you add it all back with an entertainment system like his? Oh well to each his own I guess.

I don't think that guy was trying to reduce weight with the hood, just look cool, if he was just trying to reduce weight he would have probably painted the fugger!

ahh apparently you are unawares of AArotary... from what I understand he is going to jail for credit card fraud against wholehyper. there is a thread on rx7forum about it... but i'm not gonna link to it for obvious reasons https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

I saw that too... I guess I woulda gone overkill if it wasn't my money either.... LOL hope he enjoys reading about his car from jail.

At the compleation of the article, it said about his future plans for the car. I guess impound wasnt one of them, which is what I assume happened to it??? And I guess the local body shop didnt take credit cards either, lol, naaa- he just put the hood to look like he spent alot of money on it. About the knobs- I was going to get a MOMO, and feedback told me they fell off alot, and several others with RX-7 commented on how nice the VOODOO knobs fit. I got mine right from the engraver guy though, I got the pearl with the clear powdercoat, RX-7 logo, and 5 speed pattern, it matches my new Auto Meter Carbon Fiber gauges nicely. Now to uncover the car and get this stuff in.

The threading is right for your shifter? You have a 2nd gen, correct?

Rob x-7 04-04-2002 07:12 PM

I havent even threaded it on yet, again, Im going by what others with RX-7s told me, I was originally thinking of a MOMO knob, and they said they fell off, and a few people said the voodoo knob was good, considering it is for a Miata im sure it wont be a problem, and the engraver guy who sold it to me im sure would have told me before hand.
