Title: I had to buy another one!!!
Post by: rx7aberdeen on December 07, 2005, 12:15:22 PM
After deciding that the best thing i could do to save money was to sell my petrol burning rx7!  Two months passed and now sharing a one litre polo with my mun whilst i found a replacement i began missing the bad Boy.  The feature then came out in fast car and that was the clincher i had to have another!  Then i saw it.  Had to have it.  Its subtle engine mods, bride buckets, re-amemiya wide arches, re spoiler, apexi coilovers, around 300hp works equip wheels all the right bits.  Nissan Skyline midnight purple 1994 55000 miles.

I looked through all 80 or so RX7\'s advertised for sale on Auto Trader and that is undeniably the best and the nicest ......... good buy .......... stunning car ....... what is the colour like in real life ......... looks very subtle.

Nice Dave, very nice.
You and Gerry should be good together now, you can see who\'s got the biggest rear end!

Its a different kit from gerry i think.  Havent seen the colour in real life the car is still in Japan Cant wait to see it in the flesh!  A quick question who do you guys insure your bad boys through sick of trawling the companys!

That is a seriously nice motor.  Well impressed with that, back spoiler is a big big but that car looks the business.

Insured with A-Plan as classic, cant even remember what i\'m paying but i know it was about a third of what i was paying on my Scoob.

I use Jeremy Pocock at Keith Michaels.

I have a reasonable deal with them, pretty much unlimited mileage with all my mods insured.

Other people have tried them with VERY mixed results.

Jeremy is a Jap Performance car owner / enthusiast so you will be talking to a kindred spirit.

Have you got your car now? I saw a dark coloured  FD in aberdeen at the weekend ?. I hope those sleek lights are the H11 ones otherwise you wont want to take it out of the town. The beam pattern on nornall ones is hopeless cut off to much by the cowlings for the lights.

Looks like a N1 style bumper (http://www.re-amemiya.co.jp/commodity/?pid=29df39ea&scd=5189)

this is the GT-AD kit (http://www.re-amemiya.co.jp/commodity/?pid=29df39ea&scd=6294)

Cheers gerry sounds stupid where will i findd miguel?   I will sell you these wheels think i need some new ones as well!!

Post by: Gerry M on December 15, 2005, 02:44:47 PM
Newera parts @ the top of the page. But they wont be cheap being RE-A parts. Too late Dave I\'ve ordered Work VS-SS should arrive in january. If your looking for work wheels I got all the info from //www.worksuperwheels.com in  the USA very helpfull. But you have to go thru a dealer then as they are only the main agent in US. I used miguel again as I cant fault him 2 cars & parts just like I asked for & always quite delivery on the parts & well informed.

That will look sweet gerry you get fat ones at the back?  What tyre you going to run?  I am thinking of putting the kahns back on 9.5x19 front and 11x19 rear running a 315/25/19 on the rear should look Fat!  havent decided completely!  Were the works expensive?  What size you gone for?

Post by: Gerry M on December 15, 2005, 04:28:21 PM
9.5 x 17 & 11 x 17 same as before but without the huge spacers so minus offests now. Nice deep dish on them. The 4 wheels worked out at just under £1400 without tyres I\'ll just use the ones I have. would of went for 18" but the roads up here & low pros dont mix. If you\'ve got the 2" spacers like I did give me a shout & i\'ll tell you the offsets on the ones I\'\'m getting. If your looking at work the guy told me these were avail in 11.5 0r 12 x 18

VS-KF / VS-XX / VS-TX / VS-SS
LS-105
Rezax II
XSA-01T
Meister S1 3P


and it was only really the VS-SS or the XSA-01T I liked

Post by: checkpoint-direct.co.uk on December 15, 2005, 05:22:45 PM
I think you take it gerry!  definately prefer the rear arches on your bad boY! think thats wider.  We will have to see what happens when they are side by side!
Title: I had to buy another one!!!
Post by: Gerry M on December 15, 2005, 07:42:40 PM
cant you get insurance thru work dave, show car ;-) for checkpoint?. I used tradex for mine due to high claims & a few points they were cheaper for the RX & 4 other cars rather than the RX alone from anyone else

Yeah for sure, even my drift incident hasn\'t put me off!! (couple of cracks to the front wings and front bumper - being repaired as I type).

Why have a fast car and not use it?
I\'ll take it out and build up confidence, gradually getting used to the course and building speed, when I start losing the rear end big time on the corners I\'ll know to back off! ;)
Yep will be doing the ring trip with you guys - will try my best to keep up with Max too!
