Good afternoon! I just thought i would introduce myself! :D
I have dibbled slightly into the rotary forums but never introduced myself so here goes.
My name is Aaron and I am 20 years old.
I live in West-Yorkshire near Huddersfield
I am totally new to the rotary scene but damn im having fun ha.
Within this time I have purchased and had installed
Aluminium 52mm radiator, Air-con radiator removed, AST elimination, gearbox, diff oil, and regularly change the oil and filter every month. Also just purchased an exedy clutch which is required to be fitted shortly. Also had the front bumper rebuilt I can see upgrades and part buying getting addictive: D
I bought her without much history of the engine or anything really, so hopefully somebody will know something and shed some light about the history of her, the engine bay looks well with 2 HKS filters, Blitz dump Valve, Painted Plenum and shiny intercooler piping.
She was imported in 2006.
She runs really well and really stands out on the roads. I have BIG plans for her as i love the rotary engine and soon to look towards big power.
Any help on the history of this car would be fantastic as I know somebody on this forum has her before me
Thanks for reading.

not too subtle is it!!looks like it should be on a track!
nice car man, good look with it.
Yeah someone on this forum used to own that car, clean example you have there, you are a lucky 20 year old enjoy it and be safe
Remember seeing this car at a few show a few years back. Nice clean car you\'ve got with lots done to it. Lucky having one at 20 too!
I know you should change the oil regulary on these things, but once a month. Bit to much me thinks... unless your doing 3000 miles a month otherwise well done and ohmy god i dont wanna see you fuel bill :p
Adam
LOL. FUEL ha this is the funny bit lol. i change the oil every month because it costs me £25 an half an hour so it dosent bother me. and as for milage im on average £100 a week so its bad but not 2 bad :)
Good times bud and as others..... that doesn\'t stand out much at all!! #;o)
nice car mate...only thing id change would be remove the red decals......though it aint my car:) well wear mate and keep the machinery between the greenery
ye i can see what you meen by the pictures but the pictures do not do justice and i think if the red decals were removed it wouldn\'t be the same car. it looks 10x better in the flesh
welcome.
the first thing i would be doing is removing that number plate and getting a sticky one on the bumper for air flow to the rad and most importantly, the interwarmer.
got any engine bay or interior pics??
well with me been 20 year old i get pulled almost 2ce a week and they try do me for tyres and everything. and 1 police officer did me for the front reg been a sticker and not been vertical.. so i had to get the brackets mate and get the car signed of by an MOT\'er grrrrr.... il get some pics for you :)
Yes this is a very clean car inside and out, managed to get a looksie round it last night :Thumbs-up
ye haha! all i remember is that guy who was like "wow an RX7!! Oh my god wooow 2 RX7\'s" shouting his head off with amazement as we drove past haha! your motor didnt half spit out some flames on the motorway tho ha

Looking very good there matey, best bring it to the shows!:yes
Welcome along, mate :Thumbs-up. You\'re certainly not gonna park up next to another one like that lol! Dare I ask.....how much does the insurance kick you in the nuts for at just twenty :eek:? Gotta be grim?
£2020 with £850 excess with my mum and my grandma as named drivers with me been the policy holder with 0 claims. but that was had to be paid up front. if i was to pay monthly it would be £4000 in total but its worth it i just need to get thru this year as next year is about £1300 on the re-quote.
Jesus farkin Christ! For a second, it looked like you\'d put "£4000 if I was to pay monthly" then :eek:!
All I can say to those sorta numbers is you\'ve got my admiration for your dedication to running a Rex, that\'s a hell of a lot of money to pay
well £2000 a year insurance and roughly £400 a month petrol but i earn money to spend it and who do you know thats 20 with a TT rx7 :P it gets washed everday apart from when its raining. you could say im abit OTT with the paint work lol

:eek::god 2k on insurance and £100 a week on fuel! :Thumbs-up
feel your pain with insurance matey..im 26 driving nine years,3 years no claims and paying 1300.....but i live in N.Ireland and its scandalous over here.....
totally agree with looking better in real life rather than in the pics ...they always do!
i will upload some more pictures shortly i gota go out now tho.
ive just taken all these pictures now. poor quality but i WILL be attending as many rotary meets as possible! so you can look at what u want there :P if any1 can confirm whats in my boot that would be nice... it came with a polished tank :D ha i think its co2. :)

Love motor mate and deffo and eyecatcher although probably not to everyone\'s taste\'s but as long as you like it.
You need to cover/block that hole on the top of your intercooler ducting as its just sucking in hot engine bay temps instead of from the front bumper.
2-4k insurance WoW!!!!!
I remember ( a lot of years ago now) i was living in dublin and as insurance prices were crazy over there, a good friend of mine was paying 9k fully comp on a golf gti and he was 23 at the time. I was 21 and had my civic vti covered on a european greencard for £600.
It seems like insurance for the younger driver\'s is going crazy,
Like the guys said above, keep it on the tarmac mate.
Nice car buddy, bit too out there for me but a stunning macine never the less.
As Neil said you\'ll need to block off the gap in the plastic infront of the I/C and the gap on the other side (circular one with foam inside), this will force the air flowing into the front bumper through the ic and will help lower temps considerably.
Also I\'d suggest, if you haven\'t done it already, to do an advanced drivers course bud, will help you with confidence in the wet and you\'ll get more out of the car, plus you\'ll find you usually get better mpg as your driving improves. and you never know but the insurance companies may give you a better price.
This used to be D-King\'s car. Have a look here, this should interest you....

lol im no stranger to drifting full round abouts in deserted locations.. i prefer wet roads than dry roads... and the IAM license makes no difference because the time and cost it takes to do that will make up on the insurance anyway by the time its completed... ive had an upbringing of powerfull cars just not rear wheel drive but thats easy to pick up quick you just gota be 1 step ahead because it can have you when its dry aswell thats why i prefer wet road because you expect it more. but ye i totally understand where your coming from but because im 20 dosent mean i cant drive ;) hehehe
Does anybody know if D-King is still alive on the forum?? :) thank you
Sorry bud, no offense mean. Much love
lol no offense taken at all dont worry ha :D u wanna see the reactions i get off pedestrians lol they look at the car then look at me and think... stolen! ha or "he looks about 12" is a common one.

just found this. Much has changed.... the neons are gone apart from the one at the back.. the bonnett has been sprayed black with lifters on it.. the roof has been de-stickered.. the spoiler has been painted.... i duno which i prefer now :P
Thats certainly different. I actually quite like it, definate show car.
Good luck with the rotary ownership fella.
Thank you.
Glad ya got your wing mended mate :D
Make yourself a member of the club its well worth it :D
ye im going to when this months over. And the wing... so am i thank god :) i\'ll be in touch steve about the cluch doing anyway shortly. Thanks.
Madness...absolute madness!!!
The car, the insurance costs, the age of the driver!
I love it!! Haha.
Welcome to the club!
Mate
Mad looking RX but I LOVE IT
Enjoy it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Regards,
Michaelb
you remind me of....me :spank:cheers:p:Thumbsup!
Enjoy it!
i was 19 when i got mine and everyone probably thought i would crash it and that i was crazy but 2 1/2 years, many trackdays and drift days later its better than ever although it does about 500miles a year now!
i used to know the old owner too Dking or Kev, looked a bit different when he sold it but glad it improved and not ruined! :yes
Yes there’s been quite a bit to do in the 4 month I have owned her... The clocks didnt light up or change color.. The suspension on the front was too low for the 19" wheels, The radio used to keep shorting out blowing fuses.. so ive had all that out and rewired so everything works that is suppost to.. im just trying to get all the cosmetics and the reliability issues over with which I have almost conquered then look into investing in upgrades which im alomost sure Steve from hayward can help me out with ;) I have read back on the Threads that D-KING had wrote and he confirms he had a receipt which states a full engine rebuild 4 month from r-magic before it was imported which I have worked out will be 3 years ago in July so im quite happy about that. :D:D i jsut hope its been highly maintained within that time.
I\'m not a fan of loads of stickers and huge wings, but i gotta say that looks awesome. Fair play to you at your age driving that around.Even though it looks nice, i would be too embarrassed to be seen driving it because of all the looks and stares. I bet there are a lot of 20 year old\'s extremely jealous of you for having that.
lol.i went to blackpool last sunday down on the front. jesus thort i was famous with all the pictures. my mate wanted to just put a bag on his head haha :D its really funny tho cos i still get ID\'d for cigarettes anywhere. so u can imagine what ppl think when they see me in it haha
waauw looking good !! good luck with it
Welcome Nuki,
Good to see another RX7 in this area.
I\'m in Ossett. Hope to see you at a few shows and Northern gatherings this year.
Chris

Quote from: nuki;596652who do you know thats 20 with a TT rx7 :P
I dont, Im 20 just have a single turbo rx7 :P
must have fun with that beast then :D
bought it when i was 18, blew it up, spent stupid amounts of money on it and its nearly there engine wise..... You coming donny this weekend?
donnington park? no i didnt know untill other day.. is it still 2 late to go??
c spanners Kyle!!!
shows on sat and sun... Ill be there on the Team TT Stand, cant miss it, silver rx7 on black wheels.... I probably wont be far from it unless the driftings on in which case you wont see me :P
Ash, lost my phone on the way back from yours :P new number will be running tomorrow on 07835647248 i think, youll have to text it tomorrow as ive lost yours now....
Do you need them back now? Ill be finished with them about 1ish tomorrow. Gotta lot of work to get it ready for donny....
Can come and help if you want ash :P
Edit: Phones working now ash, drop us a text...
do you have to book tickets in advance?
na, just pay on the gate. You wont be able to put the car on a stand unless you come for the whole weekend and pay £55 and blag it that your with us, sure theres a space on the stand. One day is £18 i think per person but cars in public parking then....

Quote from: nuki;596885"he looks about 12" is a common one.
Which is the exact reaction my bro & I had when we saw you driving through Batley a few weeks ago :driving
hahaha ye :D
Nice car mate, certainly going to get noticed in that :)
Welcome bud, not too far from you either. Have to get yourself over to some of the northern meets. Will certainly spot you if you\'re anywhere near ;)
yes will deffo get to the meets :) just need to know when there on ^_^
Im 20 and been driving mine since i was 18, mine first cost me £2500 for the first year, and renewal was £1700, thankfully though as soon as i hit 21, (july this year) it drobs massively.
It will still be allot at around £1000 for the year but tbh thats quite good considering. MY friend pays £3600 for his Saxo vtr. lol
I remember seeing this car back in 2007 in Leeds :Giggle Tis a good car and has only changed a little on the outside since I saw it then. You got yourself a good looking car.
With you being in Huddersfield I expect to see another local rex! I live in Cleckheaton.
Maybe all the Yorkshire guys should just meet up one day :P
we or should i say, they until i get back on the road do. been a few meets at hayward north and were at york drag strip the other week,
i think there are plans to go to york on the may bank holiday as well.
leon do you live on the speed bump road with the rex on the drive? ive seen it a fiew times ^_^ i live 2 mins from cleck
