Come back from JM Imports, accidentally with these cheeky naughty split rims!!!
Cheers again to Jeurgen but just thought i\'d share, cant believe what a difference wheels make to the whole look of the car!! Really pleased!!
On another note, am coming up to three months ownership completely problem free!!! (I hope i\'m not just one of the lucky ones)

Love it mate, a really nice looking car you have there !!!!
Panasport G7\'s - Niiice :) Good call.
looks great mate!
did you ever get sorted the seat you wanted ?
also if you ever front end crash you car, i get first dibs on the ad-gt kit :D
car looks lovely!!!!!
Ahh G7 is the actual model number is it!
haha yeah steven mate, definetly! Just dont jinx me on it!!
Well i sold those Bride seats to Matt on here coz i ended up having a bill to pay and got some alacantara standard seats for £60 off a woman on ebay in brand new condition!!
Will your turbos be fixed for next JNE???
Sos to jump in lads, when\'s the next JNE meet?
Chris
We missed it fella, so it\'s next month.
Car looks great Jonny, 2nd dibs on your kit, lol.
How you finding the car bud?
Yeah i missed it too, next JNE will be next month sometime, would imagine either 7th or 14th?? Should we make an effort for this? Was only 2 RX\'s and the last one i was at (September).
Yeah cheers rob, finding the car spot on, to be honest I keep a print out of that e-mail you sent me in the car and check it over every week.
Just keeping the stuff topped up, waiting for engine to cool down after driving, keeping it all greased and oiled and making the effort for the last 5mins of the journey to tak it easy obviously works because I\'m yet to find a problem... other than two rattles I can\'t sort out, and I use it every day.
Best car i\'ve owned (so far!!)
Sounds good to me, be good to get a few of us together again :)
Just post the date and as long as it aint too wet ill pop along.
Chris
Where are your rattles comming from bud?
Too wet? You big poof Chris, lol.
very nice indeed:Thumbsup!
Myself and steven got to jne but it was so damn cold:eek:. I done in three cups of coffee but it was a case of just downing them before they got cold.:)
Only Jurgen\'s old car and my rx there but because of the cold it was quite a quiet turn out anyway. There was however a crazy 10second Bond bug running a hyabusa turbo race engine:evillaugh
Will do my best for the next one although working the 7th but off on the 14th.
Lovely motor jonny, Always love them in black, very streetracer styleee
Am not impressed with the way Jeurgen\'s old car has turned out like!! Damage on it everywhere, wheels, bumpers, lights, bonnett, eveything has been bodged, the lad has even got it limited to 4,000revs!! I mean whats the point in owning it if can never open it up, i bet its jam packed of carbon!!
Rattles are in the top of the passenger door, have tighned every screw, even the one behind window switch but still rattles to death at 900revs at lights. Other one is a plasticy buzz coming from behind me, think its possibly the boot.
Which is your RX neil?
Ill stick a post up when I know dates n see if anyone is interested
nah dont think my car will be ready for the next jne meet! as i need to get another rebuild! (dont know if you have seen the post)
:(

Limited a T88 to 4k rpm!!!! is that even getting into boost??
Mine the white stocker see the post above as took some pics at St Mary\'s this morning.
Im always up for a mini meet, obviously work pending, but as steven said a few of the NE Rx team are in the middle of rebuild\'s.
Dosent the boost come on them at about 2.5 or so? I cant imagine it\'s very good for it, might as well have stock. Looks class apart from all the cracks n scrapes that he\'s not kept knick of. Each to their own I suppose.
Well will see how it goes upto the next JNE, would be good to see a good few RX\'s parked up!! A rare sight!!
IIRC, An engine would require some pretty monster porting to spool a T88 at just 2.5k rpm...
Pretty sure they start building boost around 3.5k looking to achieve full boosh for around 5k+ iirc
^^ thats what I thought too bud, remember Jurgen saying something similar to that
yeah jurgens old rx7, what a shame! i was speaking to him at the last jne meet (not jurgen but gavin) and he said he is jsut going to keep it untill the engine go\'s then he is gettin rid!
as neil said i think it starts to boost around 3.5k and its limited to 5k as he is scared you can hear them on this vid say that they arnt ready fort it when he "puts his foot down" and you can hear it bounce of the limiter!

might try and buy it when he sells :D but he told me it has alot of rust now that it never had when jurgen had it! and its a 1996 with 2years worth of uk weather. soo soo sad!
nice wheels :D
ive only been to one JNE meet in the rx as i blew it up before the next one lol
car is nice as well btw :D
Cheers Karl!!
p.s. that vid has done nothing but annoy me!!!!
so sad that my old t88 has been neglected:(... i hate seing it now with cracked and badly painted bodge bumper and the wheels have salt on the chrome...
each to their own..(i use to clean that car every few days lol)
