Sheefa Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Lovely car. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Single-Turbo-Triple-Rotor-20B-Mazda-RX-7-RX7_W0QQitemZ320052818989QQihZ011QQcategoryZ18211QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Anyone had ownership of one, what are they like if so? My brothers mate had one a few years ago and my brother is now looking at getting one in May. He'll be 22. They seem to go pretty cheap for similar performance, age and power to the Supes which is a little odd. Cheers, Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daston Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 he better have a bit of cash if he is 22, I was looking at them and the insurance was steep plus they are expensive to keep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 Hmmm, I quite like it. He's 22, a fully qualified Tree Surgeon, voted one of the top 100 climbers in the Country via Bournville and Arden Tree Surgery, and he takes in over £1300 per week after tax! No A-levels as he went to Morten Morrel and 4 GCSEs passes. It makes me sick to think here I am after completing a university degree, getting damn good grades there and in A-levels, have plenty of work experience and earn nearly 1/3 of what he does! - but the wage is still good! Then again, he is the best bro in the world. The work he does is very hard graft but great fun too. He should be able to afford it mate yeah! Insurance is normally through his fleet policy at work anyway. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike B Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 awesome cars and not cheap to run more expensive than a stock tt for running costs and maintanence. Didn't you say that your red Rex had a constant flame out of the back on full throttle - and no flamer kit..? Melt the sound tester and the emissions tester... now that's fuel consumption!

DaveK Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I doubt their more expensive than a supra to own I looked at buying one years ago. Mazda dealer told me they were fantastic - but on average, at 45k miles..... bang. Engine rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
