Title: New FC NA Series 4
Post by: Sooperkent on August 15, 2013, 04:54:15 PM
Hi guys, as i posted in my welcome post i used to own a FD twin turbo RX7, Since then iv owned many wonderfull and not so wonderfull cars!

Saw this NA FC RX7 come up for sale in Glasgow and had to go see it!

Its a bit rough but Starts hot and cold ( will need to check compression to make sure everything is ok)

Not too much work required for the MOT, new gaiters on ball joints and Brake pipes replaced. That is what the previous owner told us though so there might be more required (hopefully not)

Plan is to get it on the road and then take it up to driftland and abuse it :Giggle

Bit of progress through the pishy on and off rain we have had today!
Also got a few more photos :)

Fuel filter replaced. Oil filter replaced and we also took the sump off ( fu++ing pain in the baws) to reseal it as it looked like it was leaking.

Pretty big sump pan compared to other cars iv had

Also does this look normal on the filter? looks like oil has been getting in somewhere?

Sadly you can\'t edit them after 30seconds you posted them. It will be easier to repost the links in a new post
