forgot to add, using either knightsports or bnr3`s
undesided yet which is the better turbopack , along with all the supporting mods of course:evillaugh
skybusr34,
Very very nice motor. In the best colour ;)
If I had to write the spec. of a perfect \'7, that would pretty much be it. The only change I would make would be to put on the original shape spoiler - there\'s something about it that I\'ve always loved.
Just wondering about the glass sunroof - I know they are rare, and I\'ve only ever seen them in pictures. Does it have a trim panel that slides back inside, so that you can see out with the sunroof still closed? Just curious.
Thanks,
DrDan.

it comes supplied with a cover that you clip over the glass to make it a shade. it cqannot retract above roof trim because the roof is not long enough. i`ll never have this on as i like the sun coming through the glass :cool
Ref. rear spoiler. i thought that was a standard one ?
im un decided on alloys. suggestions welcomed
Its is a mazda spoiler but not the standard one. Cant remember what this one is called.
As for wheels... what kinds do you like as there\'s quite a few out there :D
Adam
it is a standard spoiler which came on 96 onwards FDs
Yeah there were 3 types of standard ones, this was the middle one before it was changed to the impreza style one in 99.
im thinking split rims like rial le mans. on porsches.

this style i think
sorry they are rial daytona race, but they dont do them in rex pcd etc
Looks very nice, you\'re right, the glass roof ones were very rare, I think. I\'m thinking that might have had the hand of Jason at Super 7 involved there somewhere?
Hi...were you looking for another rx?
Think he\'s gone off the idea after the disapointment with the last one.
yes pete i have gone off idea. BUT theres always a but with me he he.
what you got mate.
im just fed up with people saying cars are bloody perfect,not a scratch, best in uk blah blah then i drive 300mile round trip to see them and find my beaten up 1500quid work van is in better nick.
put some pics up
I know what you mean....had a few like that myself....\'excellent condition\'- just needed a few panels sprayed! haha
Well I wont say its in perfect condition, because its not....but then thats reflected in the price. It\'s farily standard, 93.....take a look at the pics, if you want to know the full spec, let me know, if you dont like the wheels, I\'ve got some nice shiny Konigs with very good tyres for a small extra cost :D

You could always fit one of those to the front end of your porch taxi..:rolleyes:
non turbo`d bud. cannot afford the twin turbo monster
or the fuel bill
Might as well buy a rex then.
heres a useless bit of info.
if your rex does 14mpg, that works out that it uses approx 330ml of fuel every mile compared to the latest vw polo of 70ml of fuel per mile
if the right rex appears then maybe. we`ll see what happens :-)

Which would you prefer?? No brainer really. Both would be nice,daily runabout and a weekend car.
Going into town. You coming??
