Hey guys,
I\'m starting work on the RX7 now and first job i want done on the exterior is to colour code the black trim around the car with the rest of the car. Has anyone ever removed it or know how its done?.. I had a quick look at it yesterday but could not make my mind up wither it was glue or clips holding it down..
Thanks guys! :)
P.S. Could anyone take a picture of the exact Castrol Oil they use in their RX7?.. I went to get some yesterday and there were too many to choose from.. I\'m an idioth... :(
if you have a camera phone i can send you a pic if you want. dunno about the trim, i expect its a bit of both
Awww man, ive been having problems with my media messages.. :( I just bought an 02 XDA phone but have a pay n go sim card inserted and the woman said because the phone was never intended for non contract sims it wont accept MMS.. well something along those lines.. :( Can your phone send emails with attachments?
probs has it but setting it up is beyond me. well its a white bottle that says castrol gtx on it. then under that it says 10w-40 a3/b3. the only similar ones say either diesel or high mileage.
ahh, so 10w is fine?.. I was looking for 15W stuff.. it only seems to be diesel or high mileage stuff i can see online.. I\'ll need to have another look in the supermarkets then..
Is this it?

dunno about 15, think some people use 30. yup the 1 in the link is fine. you can normally get 4l for about 12 quid from tesco extra.
Awesome! Thanks man..
Just need to find out about the trim now!
just found them in the work shop manual. theyre just glued on to the sides. it says to carefully use a knife and if you get stuck use a hair dryer to help. the front and rear bumpes are snap on. just remove the lights or reflectors first
You are some man! Thank you very much :)
oh, and if you want pictures...

All the ootside trim is also held on by push fit clips. They use those glue strips as well but be warned the clips are very tight and often break. Some of the rear ones and wings you can get to from behind to help them out. If you have a steel ruler I found this the best to gently prise them away from the body. Theyt will often end up slightly curved but don nopt worry about this as they will be stuck back on. Just leave them flat somewhere and they revert to being flat again. (not unless you have seriously yanked it off)
You are all a bunch of stars! You know if i was gay and you guys were game i totally would.. :) Thanks again!
I\'ll let you know how i get on.. should be getting my steering wheel fitted tomorrow so ill get some pics of that up!

Just a thankyou will do !!!! lol :Ladys-man
Ha Ha.. ok Thanks! :)
Can anyone now tell me the exact wheel fitments for my RX7? I was looking into powder coating but its almost working out the same price as a nice set of new alloys which sucks.. I just don\'t know what ones will fit.. I\'m looking for white.. pretty much the exact same as these..

ah your making me want a white t2 even more! also, did you buy the aluminium plate for the dash? if not i woukdnt mind swapping mine with your standard one. or just buying your standard one off you :D
Ha Ha.. buy one! I\'m still waiting on the plate coming in.. Although it believe it only covers the original cluster and does not actually replace it. I do however have some new white dials that just came in today.. they are for the turbo and wont give me the correct readings on my dials. :( If anyone wants them i will do them for £12 delivered.

Which bit you on about? If you can post a pic up I\'ll probably have one if its off the standard dash.

I cant post a pic atm. But its basically its the black plastic face that surround all the dials. Also its for an s4. Does this mean you have lots of spares? I could do with the glass cover for the dash too :D

ah i wish!!! im struggling with the egi as it it, give it a year or 2 :D
what makes you think it covers the original cluster? Would be great if it does. I\'ll have a gander when i get home on wednesday :D
I\'m pretty sure its just an overlay.. I will let you know when it arrives and i "try" to install it.. I\'ve not had much luck so far when doing things myself.. I tried to install my steering wheel and ended up with my finger stuck in the flip that covers the petrol cap...... hahahaha! long story... :(
