This is just a quick photo from the phone, but ill post better pix soon

Welcome to the forum and the 5 family.

Needs some low now, Josh.

Thanks Hammer


haha Kev, I know... just need to save some money for some Tein SS

has the optional factory air dam on the front with the side skirts too..

nice work.

best colour option imho

thanks Sliq


I was parked out the front of a cafe the other day, when some kids walked past the car... I saw them point and say "OOOOh look! An RX7!"


Made me chuckle lol, at least they got the Mazda bit right

looks good! what are the future plans?

So you located a spare SE wheel then!

Looks pretty darn good!

Look's nice, the SE wheels on it look silver as opposed to OEM shadow chrome.

Thanks guys!

MXHEVN:
Somewhere in the future Im looking at putting in a LSD, swaybars and upgrade the suspension, maybe do the IHE if I have some spare money too.

At least Ill start there lol Im hoping these will be a nice middleground for track/street driving.


Craig: Yeah I managed to complete the set! (Big thanks to youself and Fuzzlet), and thanks for the kind words
(If im honest, Im still having SE withdrawal symptoms tho )


Blackster: Very well spotted! I had to have all 4 wheels repaired / resprayed by a local wheel shop. So I decided to go with silver


I must say, Im pretty impressed at the RE001s. The wet grip is alot better then i was expecting.

No worries bout the wheel haha. How much did it cost to get them repaired though? I thought about getting it repainted though, but when told the shadow chrome is a multiple layer paint I figured it would of been way too hard to get it to match the other wheels

I paid $400 to have all 4 wheels repaired and resprayed, and to have the warp removed from one wheel.

The quality of the work was excellent too.


From what I could find, this was a pretty competitive price... (I got quoted up to $280 for removing the warp alone).

That's easily rectified...just buy one!

Hi Sliq,
