Hey guys this is my first post on this forum. I saw this rx7 a month or so ago and wish I had bought it. I think it was around £4k but i was too scared of dealing with an engine rebuild!
In my opinion this is one of the best looking rx7\'s about, I love the fact its almost std and has the red leather interior of the bathurst.Anyone know what wheels are on it as I really like them?

Id maybe change the front bumper for a later spec one though.
Oh and this was a picture of my previous car. I had to sell it as I got a house but it was great fun to drive, cheap to run and was the rarer stripped out cup version. Hope you like!

North side of the city in robroyston. Where abouts in Glasgow are you from? I loved the look of that rx7 and your one looks really nice as well. I would love to buy one and learn to work on it.
Eastend, Sandyhills mate.
Living in Scotland you really have to learn to look after and service your own FD, there is very limited garages will touch them up here.
They are pretty simple machines to keep going though and through the wealth of experience and extremely helpful members on here you can learn quickly how to carry out most fixes and mods.
Word of warning though... they are expensive and they do bite! No RWD experience and an RX7 can be hazardous!
Yeah well i know about unreliability unfortunately as the french rustbox I had previously had everything from knocking engine mounts, a blown engine, master cylinder failure, brakes binding etc etc all in 4 years of ownership from new! Thanks for the info though!
Mines for sale!

Bit of a trek for you though. Only looking for £6500
The black one has been up for sale for ages, I think it was advertised on ebay for a while. Does look nice though, but thats only going on external looks not mechanics/engine.
worth taking a look at mine for sale...
The wheels on the black one are Enkei RPF1, awesomeness.
I very nearly bought this one when Lifestyle Vehicles in Southampton had it for sale the only thing that put me off was a ding in the door. I now know that a guy called Tim has bought it. Not sure about the wheels because I did drive it and had a printout of the spec and all parts.

That looks in good condition and with 400 bhp it must fly! I think I might have to wait a while to get one though as the house is costing me a fortune at the moment!

The mileage wasnt advertised I dont think which suggests it may be high and will prob need a rebuild. I just liked the look of the car and with it being the bathurst it has 280+bhp, red leather and really nice wheels as well.

It was up for sale before I bought mine, so going on for at least the best part of a year now.
And it really is a buyers market at the moment, so take your time and get a top notch one.

Yes he is fairly local to me and has joined the Hampshire Jap Car Club. When I tried it out they wanted £7995.00 which at the time seemed reasonable as it was a clean looking car and drove o.k. but as I said the dink in the drivers door put me off a bit otherwise I would have bought it. The same company had a concours red one which I was tempted to buy as it was like a new car inside and out, I wonder what happened to that as they ceased trading and the cars were then offered by other dealers.
