I have been in to my jap cars alot, and currently own skyline r33gtr and 2 pulsar gtirs,
Always fancied a rx7 heard lots of stories about the engines, and the rebuilds etc, but this one i found i could not let it go for the money i paid.
Collecting on sat when i am home from sweden
i will post some pictures up when i collect,
it currently wants a engine rebuild, so i am now doing my reserach.
i am also saying a NEWBIE HELLO TO EVERYONE :wiggle

Welcome to the forum. My RX is currently transforming itself. It will be repainted sometime early next year and will be fitted with a brand new motor. Can\'t wait to get her done!

FD is part of the chasis number, the older rx7\'s were called FB\'s and FC\'s
the RX8 is called an FE by a few
mainly so we can differentiate between the various types of rx7 :D
nice motor !!
