Haven't figured out where the E fits? But i use it for going out and car trips
RX7's have the stigma of Supra's in my opinion. You just never know what you are going to get into with those terrors You know they are never stock, and yours is a superb example of a nicely built beast.

Except Supras don't have apex seals.

Love the Mustangs! SN-95 body is one of my favorites. I wish I could pick up an '03-'04 Cobra or Mach 1, but at the moment, I just don't have the use or more namely, room for it. There's an exhilaration and joy that comes from driving a Mustang V8 that's hard to match.

Here's my old baby. Got it in '99 when I was in High School, and treated it like my pride and joy until about '04, then let it go to hell starting in '05, for it to get towed, and auctioned off, since I didn't bother getting it from the Impound. It had a bunch of mostly cosmetic mods, and a custom built, insane 15" subwoofer built into the spare tire well. Oh well, I still got the memories....

Thank you man! LOVE yours as well. Mustangs FTW!!

Man, I really miss that thing. I had such a good time with it, at such a young age especially. It used to get compliments and stares EVERYWHERE, and the color was the most common thing to get complimented!

I wish I had the means back then to store it, and keep it around as a "first love/garage queen" type thing. If I still had it, I'd swap the wheels for some clean 18" Saleen's, and drop a stroker motor or something in it.

My e55 is my daily.

Weekend cruiser (when it wants to behave and will play nicely)







And the viper for when it's needed. It has been many different colours and I converted it from vert to coupe.

Actually it was a color they used before Sonic Blue, I think only on the 96-97 Mustangs. I can't recall the exact name, but I think it was "Moonlight Blue", although my Touch Up Paint (from Ford) said "Midnight Blue". SUCH a beautiful color.

Yeah, those wheels were big in the 90's I think, lol (bought the car with them in 99). They look really bad and small on the car in that angle, and the car looks super long there, but they kind of "worked" in this weird-unique to the car way. But yeah, I'm not a fan of those wheels, or chrome at all now. I was daydreaming about having that car still, with a Saleen kit, and something fun underhood. Maybe I should just pick up another Mustang to have on the side.

Midnight & Moonlight Blue were same color from 96-97.

Ah, sweet, good to know.

Abrim: Is that Matte White on your Viper? If I ever want to or have to re-do the paint on my E (not planning to of course), I imagine I'd want to wrap it in Matte White. Only issue is, I've heard of many upkeep issues's, i.e dirt just sticking to the stuff.

Thank you very much! Yessir its a LS3 that we stroked out to 416ci. Fully built internals also, with a pretty aggressive cam, that car sounds ridiculous! I will try to find a sound clip of it and post it up!

Yessir, it's the lamborghini colour 'Balloon White' . It's a matte pearlescent white, it looks absolutely killer in the sun. That picture is a really bad picture and you can't really get the full effect of it.

Not bad with dirt at all and a hell of a lot easier to clean than gloss paint. Soapy water just takes everything off of it. It's painted that colour (not a wrap) but I have had a matte white wrap on the car and it's even easier to clean. This is the car with the matte white wrap (well on the sides of the car at least)

Awesome! Thank you!

I used to be a hater of all Matte colors, and I still am not all too crazy about Matte Black (subject to the individual application though, as most mods are) but Matte White has really won me over.

That Lambo paint on it looks SICK! I would definitely do a wrap if I went that route, for cost reasons, etc., and thanks for bringing my hopes back up from thinking that it would be a nightmare. I LOVE that you don't have to wax it, and can only use soap and water. It makes me less paranoid about something ever messing up my cars current paint.

I know what you mean, matte black is becoming very overplayed, which is why I strayed away from it, plus you get the poser people who can't afford to have it done right (not a snobby comment, its the truth) and it looks awful which detracts from a properly done one.

Thanks very much, balloon white is my favourite colour, and have always wanted to do it, one day I decided life was too short and dropped the car off to have it done haha. It really does look spectacularly sexy in the sun!

Wraps are the easiest, most hassle free thing ever. I am planning on wrapping the e55 once I get the e63 bumper put on. I think a matte army green with matte black ADV.1 wheels and matte black trim to replace the chrome would look absolutely killer and unique! <--If someone steals this idea I'm going to hunt you down!! haha

You should definitely go with the wrap though, you won't regret it!

Thanks man! Yeah, if I keep this car for a long haul, and if anything ever happens to the paint (where I'd need a repaint or something) I am going with a Matte White 100%!!!!

Post pictures of that Matte green E when you get it done, I can't even imagine how that'd look!

Vancouver - what a change though compared to Australia - I must admit before I came here I had never even been/seen snow - but what a beautiful place.

I would say Vancouver is strikingly similar to Melbourne.
