Nice car, real shame you have to sell it.  I live in Notts as well, I\'ve seen you driving around a couple of times on Saturday night when I\'ve been walking, not for a while though.  Nice and loud, looks great in the brief moments I\'ve seen it before it\'s shot off  :D

its been resting for a while  :D , just wait until the students get back and i will be out everynight scaring them at full boost  :3gears-lh

Have you got your rx7 or is it on its way? Would be nice to see that as it looks very nice, might have to go for a lil drive with RX7s as there are a few around notts now  :yes

Yeah I\'ve had my Rex since the end of March.  You can see more info. on it here:

http://www.neweraimports.com/soldcarDetails.jsp?carId=31

Going for a drive would be great although I can\'t get above 5,000rpm at the moment as it\'s running lean and Pip at WGT said I shouldn\'t be getting above that until it gets sorted.  Keep meaning to get a PFC but this year has been hectic and I just haven\'t got round to it yet.  Would still be great to meet up at some point though  :)

hahaha, I feel we\'re in for a bit of mutual backslapping here.  I wasn\'t sure about red with gold wheels until I saw it in the flesh and was just blown away by how good it looked.  Actually wasn\'t looking for a red car either but the example I found was in such good condition I had to have it.  So glad I got it now as I love the fact it\'s red, wouldn\'t change it even if I could  :D  :D  :D

Meeting up for some Rex photo\'s would be great  :yes  I\'ll have to get the polish out

Sweet car, any under bonnet shots?:)

Post by: babz_audio on August 24, 2005, 08:22:15 PM
Under the bonnet its nothing special, cant see the turbo cus the air pump is still there altho its not in use of course, and apart from big intercooler piping and big BOV and some other pipes here and there its normal  :chat

Jake - mate has got a montego blue rx7 and i have to say its a nice colour but red is defo the colour for me, i think its personal preference of course but between you and me red is the best colour for an RX7  :chat

Yeah couldn\'t agree more, although I am biased  ;)

Is your mates Rex kitted?  I think I might have seen it around Notts a couple of times.  I remember when I first saw yours, I was walking back from a restaurant with my gf on a Saturday night and you came up behind us near Fletcher Gate car park.  Remember saying that sounds like a Rex to my gf and turning around, then getting all excited when it was, especially as you went past making a right racket...hahaha, makes me sound like a right geek...

Very nice  :yes

Yeah I\'ve seen your mates before as well, cracking looking cars.  Can\'t believe you\'re selling yours, bet you\'re a bit gutted aren\'t you?

Love the wheels on my mates car, very nice VOLKS and i think they suit the RX7 really well.

i am gutted that i have to sell it, was beginning to get used to driving so much power around and so much style but i am sure i will be back with something bigger and better  :chat

knowing me i wont be able to last very long without a fast machine and will end up buying something else  :3gears-lh

They are georgeous, I love Volks.  Have you seen the new Mazdaspeed MS-01s made be Rays, it\'s fantastic, in gold with a diamond cut lip.  If I ever change mine I\'ll be getting those for sure :D

Post by: babz_audio on August 25, 2005, 12:51:25 AM
MS-01s are very very nice wheels but i am in love with TE37s, absolutely love them wheels, especially on a nice skyline...ooooh, now theres an idea  :chat
