Hi, I just hope that I have posted this in the right place, if not will the mods please put it in the right section.

Hello one and all, I am a new boy on here, and would like to introduce myself, I use the word boy, but sadly that was a few years back :2Rolleyes, and there is now “snow†on the roof! Pleased to see that I am not the only one slightly getting into advanced years, and that you do not have an ageism policy as so many other forums have!
So on to my car, well I have the ex factory/ uk importer car, I bought it direct from them several years ago, and as it was only bought as a toy, it now only has 47,000 miles on the clock, and still on the original engine!
The car get’s modified each and every time a component dies on me through old age rather than being worn out. So Black Diamond brakes all round, full exhaust system manifold back and “hot brick converterâ€, ending up in a Racing Beat twin pipe outlet. Up rated clutch, and a few other things!
This car now only sees track days, and is therefore fully caged, and my goal is to get to SPA for next year. The ring, well I have done that just once to often now and no longer has the appeal that it used to have.
Hope to catch up with as many of you as possible. :cheers
Cheers
Laurenzo

Welcome to MRC :wave
Your car sounds good, got pics? :D
Well lets hope I have got this worked out. The photo was taken at Brands on a very manic event. I will post others later.

Hi Laurenzo, welcome to MRC! :wave
I hope you don\'t mind but I changed your link to embed the photo - nice looking RX-7. :Thumbs-up
Hi Laurenzo, Welcome to MRC,
Good to see your car on track and it should interest you to know that we will have some (hopefully) Mazda only track-day events organised and sponsored for Full Members by MRC coming up,
Hi Clive, thanks for the welcome, and yes I would be interested in any track days that you might have in the pipe line.
It will be my intention to come a full member as soon as possible, but just thought that I would test the water first as to speak to find out if you are a friendly bunch? So far so good!
Laurenzo
Wotcher, welcome to MRC and all that :Thumbs-up. Nice car. I like think we\'re a fairly friendly bunch :D
We are friendly here :)
(just watch out for the dodgy fellow going by the name of \'Nik da Greek\' ;))
Hello, Good Evening and Welcome :wave

Had you just overtaken the Atom!? :D
CharlieP, I wish, I did say that was a manic event, that Atom belonged to a school for racing drivers, and boy were they giving it some, there was also a GT3 there testing that day! The event was stopped by Brands Hatch Ltd twice to try and get the event under control.:eek:
The RX put in some very respectable times, but she did have to break out in a sweat! Oh, and so did the driver:Giggle
I did the Mazda event at Bovington this year, and the Atom there was no match for the RX as I showed it a clean pair of heals, (one all) and that was another manic event with two cars rolling and being written off!!
Mind you I suspect if you are a driver of an Atom the last thing you want to do is to roll it!
So a question, do any of you do track days? I met one guy at Goodwood, and one at Bovington, but that is all.
