Congrats that looks like a well sorted Rex! The rear wiper has been professionally removed at some point and you\'ve got a Mazdaspeed vented bonnet on there to. Very nice. :Thumbs-up

Good work with the car mate!:Thumbsup!
Theres a post in the engine performance tech section from a guy called robevo5 who wants to swap his mongoose exhaust for a quieter one cos it\'s to loud for him! Could be perfect timing for you!

gorgeous front bumper-is it a c-west? similar to the N-1 but simpler.
Title: hi another new owner here
Post by: anthony on October 24, 2006, 07:32:54 PM
that cwest kit looks so nice, it fits so well.
Love the wheels as well.

20 yrs old with insurance for 1k? id be wary that its down as the right car..
i found that out the hardway when i didnt know much about rxs...
insurance companies sometimes list it as a 2.4.. this is incorrect, its a 2.6 or 1.3l..

cheapest i got was £1700 with 2yrs ncb fully comp. alloys and hks airfilters declared.

where did you get yours from?

Are you going to the Mascrat Meet?
Title: hi another new owner here
Post by: Mims on October 24, 2006, 09:19:32 PM
Does he know what mascrat meet is? lol

Nice car bud, looks nice, interesting rear end looks like someone has chopped off the end bits of a normal cwest rear n stuck them onto stock rear, looks much better imo very nice :Thumbs-up

Post by: Little_ant on October 24, 2006, 11:39:31 PM
yeah i know what mascrat meets are lol i aint new to the car scene been in my crx before, will probably be there the monday after i pick it up which is next month.

Anthony: i too was warey about the quote but made them read all the details out to me the women even quoted that it was a FD3s and asked me engine size so i told them it was either a 1.3 or a 2.6 depending on how they classify the engine. My insurence company is Quinn Direct and they wont quote new customers on rx7\'s as they dont insure them but will insure existing customers on them as there is a loop whole in the law where if you are refused insurence due to the company not insuring that car and you allready have your policy with them, then go out and buy the new car they wont insure the company is legal obliged to insure you on it, this is the second time i have used this loop hole lol

allstaruk: keep me informed mate i am intrested, i am awaiting a return email from rob at the moment but let me know what you have anyway as idealy i want a jap exhaust i.e. apexi, rsr tanabe etc.....
Title: hi another new owner here
Post by: allstaruk on October 25, 2006, 12:04:56 AM
No probs mate, depending on which one I choose to keep its either gonna be a tanabe or the HKS one I sell.
Title: hi another new owner here
Post by: Little_ant on October 25, 2006, 12:07:01 AM

Right mate, Looks like I am gonna sell the HKS one its just a little to loud for me and stick with my tababe one.

I am in the process of painting and polishing the tanabe one as I have the HKS one on my car I\'m hoping the get this done by the end of the weekend so will be avalible sometime next week.

Give me an email on allstaruk@yahoo.com and I\'ll send you some pics and we can discuss a price if you interested.

Thanks

Alan
