rotorhoe Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 It was in a poor state when we got it after it had been taken apart by another person and all the good parts got used on another RX3 for our cousin. The ariel and wing-mirrors were unusable so we have to get new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rotorhoe Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 sweet thanks danger, it'd probably be easiest if you PM'd my brother (BDA780) to work it out out of curiosity, does $120 seem reasonable for chrome bullet racing mirrors? I'm probably going to go ahead and purchase them, but was just wondering what your opinions were. Gaz wrote:I got some of those new badges for my 2 Gaz Have you started a thread for your Rx2?

Gaz Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Will start project thread next month when I get it in the garage. Gonna take the Chevette out and 2 in to start getting it running.

rotorhoe Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Fuck those XY style bullet mirrors. But thats just my opinion Google doesn't have all the answers, do you have pics of what you're meaning? sr1600: do you find them difficult to use or could you recommend any others? I believe we are putting them in place of the original mirrors. Will start project thread next month when I get it in the garage. Gonna take the Chevette out and 2 in to start getting it running. Will have the 13b out of it for sale soon as I got a new one. Gaz best of luck, I know from experience how long these projects can take but its so rewarding! you'll get quite a lot for a good 13b I'd imagine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I think they look tidier than those chrome bullet things but that's my opinion. I may have original rx mirrors, I'll look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I think they look tidier than those chrome bullet things but that's my opinion. I may have original rx mirrors, I'll look OT do you have any s1 rx7 fender mirrors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr1600 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 The mirrors any really big enough to see anything, you look how big they are comparer to the newer vehicle ones. Mine is on rx2 on the drivers door , find it easier to turn my head and look as the car aint exactly big. You looking to do something like this ? Dereks car Definately a aesthetics thing , diffent fokes different taste. I just would by the best looking ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I dont mind the bullets on the guards just not door mounted ones. Each to their own though, and no, no rx7 mirrors sorry, I usually just remove them and weld up the holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rotorhoe Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 That car looks awesome! Had planned on doing fender mirrors originally, but as there are holes where the previous mirrors were (on the door from memory) we decided to place them there so there weren't gaping holes. Same applies for the holes on the guards which my brother reckons will have to be placed over with mud flaps, personally I hate that idea. I would be more than happy to use original rx mirrors, I didn't realise until now what they looked like as those parts went off with cousins car. Guessing they'd look best in the white color of my car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - mirror on the door of mine has holes underneath and thats the only reason i leave it there Will probably machine a stainless block and weld it under my guard then paint the 1600 then i have the option of attaching when i want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was considering ways of covering/filling in the holes too and was thinking if there was any sort of filler that could be bought to do so but I doubt it would stay in or look good. http://page15.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/t236496426 is this the original? The translations on that page were brilliant "Please refrain from the tender of nervous because it is very old and it is a new article... The thing that is reflected is all" ohyup. Those are the original fender mirrors for up front, but not for the doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danger Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 For covering guard holes etc you can get little stick on chrome trim bits to cover them. kinda look like wee chrome coffin badge shaped things. Might have some around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
