Just to say hi to everyone :D :D  Just purchase my first FD this week, should be picking it up sometimes next week so I am looking forward to it.
I have had high performance cars for the last 10 years but I have never had a wankel engine car before so I think it will be interesting. :D :D

Your going to find that owning an rx is a really love/hate relationship. But thats what makes them so special :D

Welcome Leon,

Many people own these cars and then think they will get more pleasure from an "alternative" performance car however many then return as they realise pound for pound they are a tough to beat unless you have huge ammounts of money to spend:Santa,

I will take some pic once I got it. I am sure some of you guys will know the car as I have purchase it from a member here :D
My last car was a track prepared 600bhp GTR so its going to be hard to beat, but I have always got a soft spot for the RX, so owning one sort of tick all the the box for me so I have had one :D I dont really know how much I will like it asI have not even driven it yet but hopefully I wont be disappointed. :D cant wait to pick it up next week. :D :D
 
Leon.

Aparantly a rex can get away with 100bhp less than the skyline GTR and still be very close comparison in performance.... correct me if I\'m wrong guys??

^ sounds about right since the FD is lighter and less transmission loss then from a 4x4 drivetrain

more than 100bhp less.

slower in the straights but you can see how well it makes it up in the corners :D
