Just thought i would introduce myself and fire up some pics of my rex :)
My names Kev, and ive had an obsession with Honda\'s over the last 5 years or so. Civic\'s, Crx\'s, Integra\'s, you name it, ive owned one. Basically i felt like i\'d exhausted all posibilities with Honda\'s (N/A, S/C, Turbo) and it was time to move on to another mark...and here I am, with my 1st Non Honda in a long time.
Its a 1993 Efini Rx7 which came pretty much stock, aside from a racing beat cat back, a momo steering wheel and a novelty 8 ball gearknob :cool:

As you can see, the car came fitted with a set of optional sideskirts (i think?) and some sort of rear brake light cover which wasnt too keen on. However it was a start, and after a full service, i quickly started making changes.

Defi BF Guages (still need to find the sensors, but they seem to be more expensive than the gauages themselves!)

Ive always had a soft spot for these wheels since having a set of 15\'s on my last integra, so light, so simple. Thanks to Keiron for these!

Badly needing suspension, but i purchased some Ohlins springs from a forum member the other day to address that issue. Should be here tomorrow hopefully!!
Impressions so far.....
Well i\'ve already fallen victim to a few of the FD\'s traits...
Broke the door handle in sub zero temperatures,
Elbow dropped the cubby hole lid and snapped it,
Actually attempted to fit someone in the back "seat"...
Had fun changing the fuel filter :mad:
but all in, I\'m loving it. My bands away on tour for 3 months as of wedneasday so progress will be slow, but im hoping to have the wheels powdercoated satin black when i come back from Europe and a rear diffuser of some discription is also on the cards. Any advice, observations or general abuse would be greatly appreciated :)
I too am a Honda Fanatic, previously had a EK9 :)
Nice RX7 though dude...
