Hi chaps, well I\'m not a new owner, I had a black FD about 1 1/2 years ago that went pop and I swapped the engine out of it at the side of the road. (if that helps remind you?)
Anyway...
I\'ve had a Skyline, GTO, Supra TT since then and now I\'m back to a RX7.
Here\'s some pics and info... I\'m picking the car up tomorrow.

Never ever seen that front end before. Looking good mate:yes
I\'m not normally into that stickers look, but that is really sweet :mmmm
Welcome back :cheers
Cheers mate
Yeah I\'ve not seen that front end before mate. Looks good !!
Nice, I\'d be getting some ducting up to your IC asap though.
Yeah, not a big fan of that IC. Gonna get a front mount and remapped.
very nice, great looking car :Thumbsup!
isnt summo power nissan stickers?
Besides that car looks really good.
I had to go check! Nah, they do parts for alot of other jap cars also.
I\'ve also got a nice set of rebuilt hybrid turbos that come with the car (not fitted).
So they need to be put on and get the thing remapped. :)
mostly nissan parts.. dont think they do anything for Rx7 tho :)
Well, the decal is staying for now. lol
Welcome back mate..
So what made you decide to rejoin the fuel swilling, seal breaking, money drain that is the FD?
How did you find the other cars you have had in the meantime?
After the bank ****ing up everything (refusing my bank transfers because they thought there were fraudulent - it happened 3 times today!), I\'m finally going to pick the car up tonight!! :)
Craig, I get bored mate. I would have owned one sooner or later again. I\'ve had the majority of Jap turbo\'d cars out there.
I loved my old Rx7, it totally put me off them and annoyed me when the engine went. So when I replaced it, I thought sod it, and sold it on.
Great cars though and looking forward to getting back behind the wheel again! :)
The Skyline, Supra and GTO are all great cars. But they are heavy and they feel heavy. Especially in the twisties!
Welcome back you ol dog :D
Just back from picking it up and loving it!! It looks awesome sitting outside my house and it doesn\'t half shift! :)
BTW,
Your front bumper is and old D. Speed type II

o no Jims back lol...
looks very tidy.... i\'ve just sold my rx7..... still have my supercharged rx8 though :D
Car looks great, that front bumper is mad-looking. You certainly won\'t pull up next to another at the lights. Sorry it looks like she\'s gone a bit pony on you already, though, chap, hope you get your water probs sorted. I love the decal look personally, stick with it (groan). Btw, Sumo Power stock loads of good FD stuff, I\'ve dealt with them a few times in the past and always had good, knowledgeable service. Even used to get a Christmas card from them, now that\'s good customer service!
Cheers mate.
Yeah, I\'m sticking with it this time. I\'ll have it sorted asap!
