There are a couple vacuum lines on the LS1.

I like the rx7s clean and simple. Clean paint + Nice wheels= tits. Its you money though so do what you want.

Car's off to a good start man. Although I do agree with not getting the lambo doors you should mod a car according to what you the owner wants not the masses. It seems like you might be newer to the scene and the best way to learn is to learn by your own experience. As for the vacuum lines i would go w/ black lines and def. hide and tuck them as much as possible. You def don't want to highlight things with color you don't want seen within the bay. Also be sure to search out many many pics of your car for inspiration on what you want to do.

Thats the way TriState is. If they don't like something, they will argue till they get what they want. It's you're car...do want you want with it. Just don't make it look like Brian Spilner got a hold of it.

Looks sick but I gotta say, ditch the doors and use the money towards something else more worthy. You can do a lot with that money.

from your link.

Curb weight: 2,625 lb (1,191 kg) - 3,071 lb (1,393 kg)

the lowest that car weighs is probably 2300ish.

fudge, i looked at the wrong rx7 generation. oh well.

sillyeye · 02-08-2010, 12:17 PM

You should black out all the blue lines and wires.

fc3s · 02-08-2010, 02:34 PM

wow culater nice really nice . and thanks guys for the advice . i may ditch the doors i got the kit for 400 and can prolly sell them for double and get the car painted . i am still in the process of my car and appreciate your opinions

supraghost · 02-08-2010, 02:43 PM

i know they make lambo doors that both ways. get those, and get out normally when you come to tst meets so you dont get laughed at

and when you park next to a bunch of kids, open them lambo style and watch them stare in awe.

coilovers are a great idea.

please dont turn anything in your interior blue!

fc3s · 02-08-2010, 03:09 PM

yeah i am not doing anything to the interior but to just make it functional and clean . i just got my rims in so here is a pic

ghstrg78 · 02-08-2010, 03:41 PM

get some delorean doors if any thing...

sean3 · 02-08-2010, 04:17 PM

Less lambo door more LS1

fc3s · 02-08-2010, 06:11 PM
