I\'m in Thornton heath, do you own the silver rx7? I often see a silver one driving between south Norwoord & upper Norwood.

I have a few, but am normally in a black very loud stock bodied fd, or a very quiet fd with knightsports front end, mazdaspeed rear spoilered, multispoked rims black one.

you have a few! Bloody hell. Thought owning one was painful enough of the wallet!
I think I saw one of yours parked up on Cherry Orchard Road a few weeks ago by E.Croydon Station?

What the whole dash from passenger to drivers side or just the drivers side and middle section?
Depends when your free, I fly away on summer holiday\'s on Friday.
I have water injection, fuel pump, and a front end to fit tomorrow, and i\'m working today. You can bring it round and I can show you what to remove, or remove it for you, but my schedule is tight before I fly out.
I guess as long as you get round before it gets dark tomorrow it will be fine.
