Ive had my rx7 for 3 weeks now so thort id oput some pics up and share my new toy
Ill b e finally taking the car for its Mot retest tomorow so after 3 weeks and some very scrapped knuckles ill hopefully be able to enjoy it.
The car came with an apparent blowing downpipe and a small oil leak
the oil leak turned out to be rather large and the blowing after removing the turbos twice was tracked down to the inlet manifold. Not really what i had hads in mind for my first few weeks of rx7 ownership but from the drive today its definatly going to be worth it
Here she in a rare bit of sunshine

Thanks but tbh not a patch on yours though mate love the colours
did you make the connections on the battery? or is it a kit... if so where did you get them from?
its a kit off ebay mate was on the car when i got it they ran all over the place before looked a rite mess look really good now like there meant to be there
finally got the green slip that says my car is fit and legal for the road
tho its gonna need new pads and a rear bush but still i can go play tonight. unfort ive paid for my mot and new pads so cant afford petrol, gotta love the irony.
