Guest rshiels Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 heres a few pics of the old girl, and a little spec list: bought the car march 2010 with a fresh rebuild from Super7 and completely standard apart from a catback. since then ive added the following: - Bilstein coilovers - HKS SSQV - 6000k HIDS - Apexi GT exhaust - Silenced midpipe - FEED downpipe (wrapped) - Border Racing induction - TRUST intercooler - Custom ducting - 850 primaries - Walbro 255 - Aeromotive stylee FPR - Ported wastegate - Apexi PFC i've probably forgot a few things but you get the idea. now running 330bhp at 0.9bar. http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/6615/dsc08369r.jpg http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/3905/dsc08370r.jpg http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/2595/dsc08376r.jpg http://img852.imageshack.us/img852/4004/rx2.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's the engine? http://img852.imageshack.us/img852/4004/rx2.jpg But to be fair RX-7's are fun cars to have, just shame the engine just ain't up to scratch.

Guest rshiels Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 cheers for the comments despite the reputation they have this one hasnt been toooooo bad. a few niggles here and there when i first got it... things like an oil leak, coolant leak, and a couple of split vac pipes. nothing too expensive to put right. for an 18 year old car you cant complain. since i had the majority of the mods done at the start of this year its been a peach.

Morpheus Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 But to be fair RX-7's are fun cars to have, just shame the engine just ain't up to scratch. I probably couldn't fit in one or I'd more than likely have bought one by now. Apparently they handle quite well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Welcome to the forum Ryan, we have a few members here who have previously owned RX7's. Any reason what has triggered the want to change? I quite like the RX7, lovely car... but I'd like one with an LS1 engine in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamaSupra Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Welcome to the club!! Nice looking car you've got there, I've often considered selling my Supra to get an RX7. But I worry I'd regret selling my Supra, I think I need to just own both cars rather than one or the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like the RX7, lovely car... but I'd like one with an LS1 engine in there. the supra and the rx7 are my favorite jap cars from the 90s..... rather than getting rid of the mazda i should probably just save up a bit and get a supra to go with it. i was well on the way until the mrs made me buy her an rx8. back to square one so to speak.
