Hey guys, just thought I\'d introduce myself :D

As the username suggests, my name is Seth, lol... I\'ll be searching these forums quite regularly now I\'ve got my rx being prepared for pick up @ rxmotors!

Doesn\'t look too great at the mo but here it is:

(http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1053/1424731512_9e98b4a039_b.jpg)

I\'m going to take of the veilside stickers asap, return the rear lights to stock & put the stock wing mirrors back on!

As for interior, it\'s a bit shabby- was wondering if any of you can suggest a good place to get retrims/reupolstery done?
Anyone have leather RX7 (front) seats for sale by chance??

Also need something to blank of the double DIN into a single DIN, if you\'ve any suggestions?

Let me know whats on your mind... opinions welcome! :Thumbs-up

Thank you,

Seth.



Edit: Thats me standing next to the legendary Tim... heheh... such an awesome bloke!

Just to clear up, thats the rxmotors yard in Dorset... They\'ve a barn full of FC\'s, FD\'s and 1 or 2 1st gens!

They break some for parts, sell the built ones & so on.

ermm wheels.. only 17\'s mind, and if I\'m honest prob a bit too narow, as they spun like a bitch on my FD.

Also, a mint Re-Amemiya vented bonnet.
if I can find some nice buckets too, my interior (mint nd clean) will be for sale too.
May be selling my popups, with vented headlight cover too!

LOL
So,a few things yes.

Nah I like that spoiler, thats one of the things I wouldn\'t want back to stock! heheheh

Another question I wanted to ask you guys is what type of ISO blocks does a Jap import have to connect to an aftermarket stereo?

It has a bulky double DIN Kenwood jobby of some sort (probably doesn\'t even work!) in it at the mo & I was considering installing my avic down there for the journey home... that was bought in the UK, with "standard" ISO adapters- would it be a straight fit? (I hate driving without tunes!)

Thanks,

Seth.

lol guys- probably not for a while, Tim advised me that the paint work under the mirror would need to be touched up if removed so it\'s probably not the first thing I\'m going to do!
Will deffo be up for a swap once I get round to it.

Cheers! Well, at the mo I think the previous owners tried to black them out even more, but doing so using a cheap method?! Not sure what hes done but it detracts from the overall sleekness on closer inspection :rolleyes:

np :) picked up the car earlier today!! f\'in awesome!! :D:D:D, took it for a loooooooooooooooong drive (apart from driving back to london!).

BIG THANKS to Tim @ RX Motors for getting it ready for me in 1 week :)

Just a quick q though, since Tim didn\'t have a log book for it I need to head down to DVLA- Just confirming this is the place I need to go?

http://www.dvla.gov.uk/contactus/vehicles_enquires.aspx

Any idea how long the process is too?

Thanks :):Thumbs-up

Yea, that should be cool mate. Just give them a bell, they should be able to help you out over phone to start (get relevant forms sent to you) save you heading down there twice.

Glad you got motor ok. get some updated pics up here then!! :D
