Sorry guys, not getting notifications of replies for some reason! :(

Thanks for the comments.. I just fancy a change. I would quite like something with power steering for a start haha... Even a TII would be great! I\'m over 25 now so my insurance is cheap enough for me to get a bit of power under me also.

Post by: dthebuk on August 16, 2009, 07:50:12 PM
well my TII might be up for sale once its finished, not sure if i want to sell though. It\'ll be drift spec :D

I was making an offer to you GIANNA.

Sort it out!! Just dump and TII engine in your car, lower it at the back, then proceed to have the nicest FC in the country, or at least one of the nicest

haha, I was just jesting Jemes. It would be less hassle buying a TII than doing that haha.. Someone called it "a poormans sports car" haha.. ....s!

A kid came up to me the other day when I was taking the hubs of my other RX and asked me if it was an old Ferrari!

Post by: dthebuk on August 16, 2009, 08:48:18 PM
awesome, a copper thought mine was a porsche 924, he was quickly corrected!

Jimi Hendrix who was on here got asked if his was a 944. Honestly, my car gets so much attention it\'s unreal. I often wonder if i could have another car that gets as much attention for the same price.

Post by: dthebuk on August 16, 2009, 09:03:02 PM
well that depends on how much you spent on the paint job :P

Post by: TiddlesRX7 on August 16, 2009, 09:24:31 PM
Err I don\'r know of one. These things are getting more and more interest nower days. And for the money they are unreal. Seriously Gianni. See if you can get a ride in a TII and it\'ll make you think twice about leaving the RX world behind.

I hate you! I\'ve been after 13\'s for the last 2 years. Saying that I am back the the set up I bought the car with (other than the suspension). Really need to get the PFC i and the front mount.

Well my car has already run a 14.2 on stock boost, the new rad has gone in and the wideband so I can now increase the boost past stock to 0.9bar where the ECU is mapped to lol

I ran a 14.1 on my first run with stock boost a full exhaust and filter. Never been able to beat it since with other set ups. Think the soft suspension was the key. Next year I will be in the 13\'s. I have said that 2 years on the trot now though!

I have rode in Jimi_Hendrixs TII when he had it.. He was a bit of a girl though when driving.. I will defo go back to the RX7 in a few years, but it will need to be some crazy drift beast.

Post by: Retro_Boy_G on August 16, 2009, 11:10:04 PM
Oh, just realised the insurance is affordable now for me on the TII.. This could be an option! Where the hell can i find a white one though that isn\'t a cab?

Just thought i would let you guys know this car went about two weeks ago now! I think the new owner is a member here now but can\'t seem to see any posts by him. It was fun while it lasted and I will be back with a TII in a few years! Until then peace out and mucho love guys! Thanks for all your help! :)

Well, I replaced it with an MX5 and i have to admit I\'m loving the driving experience to bits! The power steering and light weight just makes it a dream to drive.. Maybe when i get to drive a TII with power steering though i will fall back in love.
