That way if you're too far away to hear the alarm, the remote tells you! It also can remote start the car, but I disabled that feature because the car has a manual tranny, and liability reasons of me selling a car with that. You'll get the install manual for the alarm, so you can opt to turn this option back on if you want. Also the alarm does a fuel pump cutoff, starter cutoff, etc, so the car is pretty much totally disabled. You either need to rewire a ton of stuff to steal it, or try and tow it away.
What the hell kind of alarm is that? I want one!

Alas, I just had my cousin in Australia order the model from there, $250USD,about 40 shipping, and that included more features like proximity door unlock (you get within 6ft of the car and it automagically unlocks the doors when it senses the remote that close), and it's on a different frequency that 99% of the code scanners here can't crack.
Of course the FCC hasn't approved that frequency for it, but who cares if you hit the disarm button and a plane wrecks or the stoplights all turn green. No biggie...LOL

Personally I think the 3rd gen RX7's body looks like crap, but who am I to say that, I just don't buy one. They're awesome cars, and I don't downplay them.
The fun of this car is it draws a LOT of attention. Nearly *every* mustang, camaro, rice, vette, etc etc etc etc wants to race because of the way it looks. They automatically assume it's just riced out in looks, and after getting smoked 95% of them pull over to take a look at it, and congratulate me on having a car that has speed to back the looks.
Heck, Speed Vision (or Speed Channel now, whatever) has two cars they RACE with the same paint job....and they magically appeared with that paint scheme not more than 1.5months after they videotaped my car at NOPI. Go figure. One is a Integra, the other a NSX.

There was a thread a while back where I was trying to figure out the exact date they put the paint on, and I believe the *first* picture I could find was taken a month after my car was at NOPI with that paint job. I have yet to get a response from them after e-mailing on various occasions.
Had I seen them with it before, I never would have painted it to look like one of theirs. :/

after taking a look at the Realtime racing page (http://www.realtimerl.com), it looks like they put the colors on their NSX back in 1997.
But that doesn't mean you're a biter...it's just a coincidence

I'm thinking of putting a roots blower on it and a 200hp shot. That would be fun on this truck. And all the Caddy people are telling me this 8.2L 500ci Caddy motor can take a 400hp shot of nitrous from the factory!!! GEEZ!Well durn, I didn't have the website for those Integras/NSX. Had I seen that paintjob ahead of time, I would have never picked it. Its not really that much like it style wise, but the colors are for sure. !@$%! (insert random expletive here)

Wiz's paint is much better than that gross Integra's paint. If his is newer, I'd consider it an improvement or revision of their design. 8.2 litre engine??? Christ Jesus, that's like FIVE Civic engines lined in a row!!

I must agree that the Acura is nasty and your Lex is very very nice compared to it... I really dont think your lex. is what i said it to be... its just the only pic i saw was the one in the far right...
Second, i love the caddy. My old TA has a 63 mustang convertible and the caddy somehow inspired me so im restoring/getting it restored for her. If anyone knows a good Ford Place in Cali, holla back

Normally fromt he picture on Ebay I would call it ricey, but that second picture posted does it alot more justice. It looks as if he bought the bodykit in red and just threw it on. It's nto until you see the side the actual paint job. I actually like the look of the car, the spoiler in my opinion is kind of too much. But i think it's still a really nice car. And the Horsepower is unbelievable.
