Finally got time and a better camera, so I snapped off a few shots of my babies. As I got ready to take the pictures I realized I had no idea of what angles to take the pictures, so please fire away and let me know which ones you like and dislike. Also I know the background sucks but thats all I had at the time.

i know everyone has seen a VR 8 but im putting a couple up anyways

Very nice pics. I like that 2nd post, last pic and 3rd post, third pic of the 8 and the 7 facing each other. Lose that license plate off the 8 and take more of those. :D:

You got two sexy rides by the way.

my favorite is the reflection shot of the hood, dont know why :dunno:

Id love to take the plate off but theres a small town nearby called Garden Ridge and their revenue making agency, wait I mean "police force" makes it a point to pull over any vechile without a front plate.

Ive got more pics of both cars but half way through resizing them I remembered all the times people have shown me pictures of their kids and I didn't want to see them. People tend to go on and on about things they love/proud of (can't blame them). MY point? I didn't want to overload people on the pictures.

Thanks for the compliments NgoRX8.

So lovely. I still want to drive an RX-7, just for the fun of it. But I love those pictures. I also love the one of the two cars facing each other. Great stuff dude, you're one lucky one.

The paint on that FD looks to be in very good shape. Great reflection. My favorite is the one looking over the sideview mirror of the FD and seeing the 8 in focus. Nice shot.

Has Texas always required front plates. It has been 12 years since I lived there, and can't remember. Hate those front plates. Glad we don't have them here in Georgia.

everytime i see an FD next to an rx8, i'm always amazed at the size difference between the two.

you shouldn't set cement bricks stacked on the top of your rx7 like that, it crushes the middle of the roof in

When is someone going to produce a different plastic rock guard underpan for the RX8 than is designed like the FD's? That would be a simple bolt on replacement that would give us a little lower lip spoiler.

awesome pictures. loooks greattttt

Great looking cars! I've always wanted a FD. I think there's only one on the island over here.

L8APEX- The car was repainted about a year ago. A big plus when I was looking to buy. As long as I can remember they have required front plates. I dislike them also. The 8 has one just because it had a bracket and the 7 doesn't. There is no way in hell Im drilling holes to mount a ugly plate on my 7. Ill just pay the ticket when I get one.
Both cars were claybarred and polished with Rejex. Great stuff. Just to show how well it lasts, the 8 was done about 1 month before I took the pics, the 7 the day before. I quickly washed both before the photos. Rejex also beads water very well, looks very cool actually.

Glyphon- Im still not used to looking back and being able to touch my rear shocks with ease. The 8 is bigger for sure but hides the rear seats and trunk well, IMO.

Nemesis8- I don't think it would be that simple. I haven't looked real close but imagine it would not be just a bolt on thing for the 8. Doesn't the Mazdaspeed front have a lower lip like your talking about? I think that's as close to bolt on as you can get.

Umbra- That dip in the middle is supposed to be there, plus the roof is strong it can take it lol. BTW those particular blocks are twice the weight of a regular block. I hate them :)

Thanks for the compliments guys, it is appreciated.

nice pics :icon_tup:
damn, that FD is in great condition

i love the fd..jealous

Is this close to what I was looking for I wonder? Anyone have the LEG Motorsports front lip?

I have not seen anyone with this LEG lip
I think it cost around 500

It seems like a waste. Its not that much different from the appearance package lip, and costs much more.

I agree - these pics are really awesome. Don't want to h/j the thread, but the owner of the FD needs to get busy and turn the lip spoiler back to black with....

Mother's Back to Black, awesome stuff !

LOL - I thought I was being subtle :)

Damn... that FD is friggin' beautiful. So jealous...

What does FD mean?

Those are just a couple threads to look through

Every RX7 generation had a two letter code in the VIN as follows:

1st gen 1979-1985=FB
2nd gen 1986-1992=FC
3rd gen 1993-2002(1995 in the US)=FD

As you'll see in the above thread some call the RX8 an FE. All RX8 VINS do have a FE in them, so thats where people get the FE. Many say it's not a FE because its not a continuation of the RX7 line. So thats that in a nutshell.

Now lets please not start another debate about this :fingersx:

PS- when you see an RX7 owner wave at them, it will give them a heart attack :lol2:

FD is sooo much more beautiful than the 8....i love them

I can't hate... I love'em both :)

The FD has such classic sports car lines.

BTW, I see you are at the Practical Pistol Range. How'd ya shoot?

Wow, I never noticed the huge difference in height between the FD and the RX-8. Nice Pics.

Actually that is part of a Sportsman Team Challenge field with a skeet field being built on the side. I (my family) own the range. As for how I shoot, I wouldn't know I rarely shoot.

JRichter: The only thing similar on these two cars is that they have rotary engine IMO

Thanks again for the compliments on the cars everyone. I'd love to take them to a scenic location but I have 1 problem with that. I only trust myself to drive them :yelrotflm
