hello everyone i am Adrian nick name ( Rust ) new to the club. i am a honda owner at the moment but i was deciding out of S2000 or RX-7 and i have made up my mind to leave the Honda and come to Rotary :) ... so in the next few weeks i will be picking up a 1995 silver FD all stock.. so when i have the car i shall be posting up some photos to MRC...
im from milton keynes and i would be happy to know if anyone owners are near me.
Welcome to MRC I hope you have fun out there :driving:Thumbsup!
Welcome to MRC, Hope you have a great time here...
syed
Welcomeeeeee!!
Excellent choice :)
I am a ex owner of the Honda VTEC :P but the rotary is the best :D
welcome there are quite a few owners up that way :-)
hello to all... hope to meet some of you members soon
Welcome, you won\'t regret chopping in the S2000 for an FD. After owning a FD 3 years ago and regretting selling it, I went through many cars but none came close to a well running rex. I sold my 2005 S2000 and bought a 92 FD, had some fun already with the new car, but hand\'s down way more fun even though the roof doesn\'t drop.
Loads more torque low down (mine\'s still a twin turbo) which was my biggest frustration with the S2000, no power until 6000rpm. Don\'t get me wrong, the Honda was a fantastic car and goes like hell when thrashed, but the FD is more usable on the street without it getting silly and license losing :)
Look forward to meeting you at some of the meets
Wombat - after test driving the FD im planing on buying, i really fallen in love with the car :) owning my honda rite now is fun but it didnt feel as fun as driving the FD.
i do have some questions to ask about insurance as i have seen some ppl say that they insure it as classic? dont really get how it can? but im sure i can search around and i get some answers...
will pop out to meets when i pick up my FD.
Hey Rust - welcome, myself and at least one other are based in MK ;)
Phil
phil - thats soo nice to hear that there are 2 owners in MK i shall get in touch soon.
just a little update.. im picking up my FD3s at the end of the month and i just said good by to my Honda about 2 hours ago...
Good to hear.....need pics of the new ride:Thumbs-up
Gr8 move.. Bring it on mate!! :)
i will get some photos up soon. its at my friends garage at the moment. need to fit a alarm and chang the speedo back to MPH.. so when i get back i will clean it up and then take some photos.
Good news rust, looking forward to seeing pics, hearing of the spec and then looking out for you when I\'m in, around out n about MK! ;)
Phil
Welcome to the club. :wave
Did you get your insurance sorted out? Some companies will insure these cars under a modern classic policy as they are over 10 years old and quite rare.
I believe you have to be over 25 years olds to get it an dwill be limited on milage you can do a year.
Adam
phill - i shall look out for you to in Mk.
Ada7 - im still searching for insurance and was thinking to put the car under modern classic policy but they said i need to have a Cat 2 system on the car to insure me so i thought i might aswell go to a Cat 1 system but im still in search to find someone who will do a good decent job. im over 25 years old so no problems on classic policy and its gonna be my 2nd car for the weekend so limited milage is okay.
anyone can advise me on someone who deals with Alarm that will issue me a cert for the insurance?
i thought i would tell everyone that my FD3s is back home with me now. cleaned it up today in the cold.... well worth it tho.
I took some photos from my Iphone.. once i polish and wax it tomorrow i will use my SLR camera to get some better photos up. but here are some photos for the time. (http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t231/AdyTse/IMG_0663.jpg)(http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t231/AdyTse/IMG_0662.jpg)
Standard FD\'s are the best! :wave
Welcome to MRC :)
i think starting from a stock FD will be a good start. all tho im having a little problem with it at the moment..
Good stuff bud, you\'ve finally got one then ;)
Will keep my eyes peeled for you.... where abouts are you MK wise ?
I work in Stony and as it happens have the FD with me today! ;)
hello pil.
im at home at the moment mate.. live in pennyland lol.
you picked the rite day to drive the FD to work mate.. its soo nice weather out there today man !! gonna give it a polish today to try shine it again.
cool cool adrian - get out there and get busy :cool
I\'d say come round n do mine after but sadly it\'s in far more need than just a clean and polish, desperately need a respray!! :Hammer
If you see another little red modded mazda ( 323f ) waving... that\'ll be me! :3gears-lh
lol 323f nice man..
well mine needs a respray it self but its not that bad i say .. so i will try bring some life back to it for the time being .

We\'re all here for you, dude :evillaugh
ha ha and FDUK off ;o)
sadly to say that my FD is at my friends garage in birmingham... problem with it and i dunno whats going on.. some times 2nd turbo will boost and some times fuel cut.. drove it to my friends place today and left it with him to take it apart and check it out for me..
not too happy at the moment as iv only had it for 2 days..
but i know my mate will tell me whats wrong with it..
Sorry I missed this thread - another MK Rex owner here, but of the FE variety.
Must be due an MK meet now the weather\'s getting better?
Hello Rust dude,
Just a quick question are you the one i keep seeing on the A5 from Towcestor of an evening (i keep waving and flashing while heading the other way in a white BMW 320d (sorry if i had confussed/worried you):Thumbs-up)
yeah i think its about time for a MK meet :)
Feed addict - i dont think its me who you saw cos i aint been driving the FD for the past month due to 2nd turbo not spooling at time to time...
so its in the garage at the moment being tested for some parts.. but hope its up and running soon..
so how many MK Rotary do we have ? in MRC ?

UPDATE - car is out of the garage :)
