Title: my 93 rx7
Post by: rx7ben on August 27, 2008, 03:22:21 PM
Well ive never posted any pics of my car before so i thought it was about time i did. Ive had her for about 4 months now within the first night of ownership the engine went so down to Roetecnics it went for a rebuild costing a massive £5500. At moment its got a split hose on one of the turbo"s but cant get it fixed because Roetecnics are haveing problems. So that really annoying. Any what ya think

V gd looking buddy! Shame about the engine going pop so soon into your ownership - really feel for ya! Tis in the hands of the specialists though now and hopefully all will be sorted out for you pronto! Keeping fingers crossed, given their current situation! #;o)

Cheers Phil.

Ahah - was about to ask if yours was the knightsports one that was in the same time as mine :D  we met briefly, i think, when david was dissecting your engine bay... (mine was the nail varnish red one next to yours, with the same new-ownership woes)

Ouch that must of hurt! don\'t worry you\'re not alone with early owner engine failure as a few of us can confirm.
Nice looking car enjoy it.
