Picked it up from Devon about 4 weeks ago and droped it off at Hayward rotary for a check over, service and commpression test and all was good Carl and the boys said it was in great condition and went well cheers to Carl for keeping it there for 2 weeks due to work stuff I couln\'t pick it up.
Great to be back in an RX its been a long time, looking forward to getting to some events this summer

Yeah she does look clean. Then in true DtheBuk style drop it a couple of inches and she\'ll look mean. See you at Rotorstock :)

The plan is fast road and maybe a few track days, I\'m planing on getting the suspention and breaks sorted first has anyone used black dimond or ebc disks?.
Getting some new tyres on the back this week as the last owner had stretched 225s on to 10 x 18 rims so Ive ordered some 245/35s so I hope they fit.
As for the power side of things i\'m planing on leaving that till next year as she goes well allready, gave a guy in a new XJR jag a fright on the way home the other day he slowed down then stood on it so I thought ok he\'ll probobly cane me so I stood on it around a few corners and he only just pulled away on a straight I was quite supprised I keeped up he was to the look on his face was classic when we got to the next round about trying to figer out how some J reg car was keeping up with his v8 super charged jag.

Im running black diamond disks and Mintex pads - can\'t afford the Hawk pads. I do like it when my fc is rather a lot faster than some of these modern \'high performance\' cars :Giggle

well fc\'s are pretty quick if you think about it
 
power on a stock tub can range between 200-300 bhp
weight can be between 1000-1300 kg\'s
 
where as the xjr is 400bhp and weighs 1650kg\'s
 
and every knows how rx7\'s handle :3gears-rh
