Hello there everyone , just signed up
after narrowly missing an FC from a member Cliff (FB Rebuild in progress)
he suggested i sign up here and see if i can pick up a project and some information to help me along the way
Currently just looking for an Fc , Fd , or a cheap 8 - Rotary power has always interested me
im 29 from just outside liverpool , a HGV tech by trade and have previously owned all number of cars , with a bias towards FWD french hot hatchbacks
Hope everyone here is as helpful and Friendly as Cliff
welcome to mrc , loads of cars up for sale here its like a argos catalogue:rollin:rollin
Welcome to MRC
Nice to see another potential member in the north west :D
Definetly , Just want something as cheap as humanly possible - C,D or 8
8s are cheap at the moment but many have not been owned by enthusiasts and are thus quite shagged. If you\'re prepared to buy one with a duff engine and get it rebuilt then it\'s a good way into rotary power. The rest of the car is actually tough, other than an engine dying on me, replaced under Mazda Warranty, mine\'s been reliable for the last 5 years and 90k miles, sometimes the UJ on the steering column gets tired on older cars and causes steering problems but it\'s a cheap fix and the anti-roll bar drop links can fail too, but that\'s a very cheap fix. A good RX8 is nice car and despite their lack of power and torque compared to the Turbo RX7s they don\'t lack in terms of pace on a circuit.
In terms of the cheapest you could buy then it\'s probably an EGI FC RX7 but it could be full of rust and require lots of work.
Well , it will be gettin a rebuilt engine , new loom , new suspension bushes , so honest terms its the cheapest rolling shell i can get handy with an engine so i can sell on or rebuild
