Arite, here is the almost completed RX7 Zip. This is the RC that I poped my moddin cherry on. Kitted, painted, and slapped some Muscle Tuners hubbies on her. Gotta do some touchup and detail painting along w/ a clearcoat to make her shine, but I felt bad lurking in the Hood for so long w/out showing what I am up to. Well here it is....

Hope some day to look back at this car and think how much I have improved :)

Nice first floss! Great masking job and body kit. Those wheels fill up the wells much nicer than the stock ZZ ones. That's probably the best ZZ RX-7 I've seen.

Real nice Finks, those wheels are the shit. Can you put Bit tires on the Muscle Tuner wheels, or do you have to stick with the hard-ass rubber that comes on 'em?

Great start, man. I look forward to seeing more of your badass rides.

Very easy to do and the rubbers fit nearly perfectly (may want to do CD's wire insert mod, we'll see)

As for this puppy, you pop off the hubs from the MT of your liking, take a dremmel or an alternative way to sand fast and shave em down to the same thickness as a Zip hub. This is very easy due to the softness of the plasic they use. I dremmeled out the center but you can drill to make space for the Zips pins. Pop em on and if you drilled the correct size hole, don't even need to glue em on. If I was to repete this process after learning what I did I could do it again in 15 min total.

In all honesty she was supposed to be pearl white but the paint said otherwise, Other than that I am proud of this mamajamma.
