Title: Looking for FD owners Aberdeenshire
Post by: Mb3d on March 01, 2007, 01:55:00 AM
Any FD owners near Aberdeenshire/Peterhead area as I would like to meet, discuss motors etc, Kinda feel a bit odd one out with the RX up here, noticed a red kitted FD at the cinema last year but only thought about leaving a note once i had left. Anyway my Black FD is on the road again after engine swap so see you out there somewhere......lol

Head into Checkpoint in Aberdeen. Dave has a very nice wide FD. Other than Dave I know of two other FD\'s. A white RE:Amemiya kitted one (female driver and member of mrc) and the red FD you saw that I don\'t know who the driver is.
Does your car have Mazdaspeed MS-02\'s? I think I saw you at the cinema once and also in Bridge of Don going to Wallace performance.

Unfortuanatly I no longer have a FD I sold it last year. Still in a feeling of loss as I had done a lot to the car.

STEVE: wrong spy, my one has deep dish rays alloys, Knightsports rear batmobile spoiler. I remember speaking to the guy in checkpoint when he had the silver RX with the 19" wheels, but I thought he sold it.

IAN: I\'ve seen a silver FC parked outside Schlumberger Wireline in dyce, any chance its yours?

Thanks for the replies

666FLO, Guess that would have been you I passed coming in to Ellon today, was going to turn around and follow but that would have made me a stalker....lol. I parked up outside the bank for a while, I was passing through Ellon on my way to find Japerformance cars at castlepark, I\'m thinking of getting Apexi power FC and might use them to setup map on rolling road, Have you had any dealings with them? Anyways let me know if your coming up Mintlaw/Peterhead way.

Still having boost problems at the moment, second turbo not coming in, boost gauge reading 0.4 kg/m2 (5psi) drops for second turbo and then nothing much happens, 125mph max, still going over all my hoses etc. Got my ass kicked by a 2.6 gsi did not want to bother with him, but sat on my bumper goading me on. Also would need about £200 petrol just to get there, this car is overfuelling as its de-cated, hks panel filter so thinking of getting Apexi power fc and remap, BTW if i fit this myself, how hard is it do the map myself, well using the preset maps from the apexi ecu etc I know this is a stupid question but I\'m a DIY kind a guy.

YAY it was!!!! I was going to turn around and follow you as well but I had to get back as we were just out getting something to fix the capri with! Oh sorry i didnt wave but your pop up lights threw me!!! :Laugh. Ive never seen another rx7 about.. :Laugh

No stay away from there is my advice, i personally wouldnt take my car there ever, i would just go to manchester if I was you...honestly it would be much better IMO.

666FLO, BTW the car was filthy because coming out of Inverurie I got stuck behind a truck spraying mud off the wet road. Enjoyed posing around Ellon until I stopped at the toilets and Shock horror at the rally splatters, straight to the jet wash.....lol.

Well the Rex is stuck in my garage till I recieve a new solenoid as when I removed the inlet manifold I noticed a loose hose, then noticed it was sheared off. Hopefully its the cause of the boost issues I\'m having.

Treated myself to the Apexi power FC + commander, and I\'m going to try setting it up myself.......well at least the self learning map.

Next day delivery usually means 3 days up this neck of the woods, and so the excitement builds.

Thanks for the reply and if i get it running again soon, we can arrange a mini meet as you put it.
