Dear all
I work for a TV company who will be featuring a 3rd generation RX7 in an upcoming episode of a well known show
I am looking for someone with a really nice example of an RX7, to film with us in the Surrey/Berkshire area on October 1st or 2nd- any colour as long as it\'s not silver
Should be a fun and interesting day, and might be a nice addition to your car\'s history file
Please get in touch by PM if you\'re interested
Best wishes
James
Not sure you can get Pms being a guest?
Thanks, and sorry I didn\'t realise about the PM\'s
Perhaps if you\'re interested, you can send me an email james@attaboytv.com
Look forward to hearing from you!

Wheeler dealers then???
Strippers:Cars for Cash ? :Giggle
Oooh, this sounds interesting :)
Hi all thanks for your interest so fat- have had some great cars through- please do still get in touch if you\'re interested as I will be pitching all potential cars to the director
And I\'m sure you\'ll all be glad to hear it\'s not for Strippers!!....
Can rebuild mine, hope you don\'t buy a lemon and have to raid the bank like I am!
In all seriousness the rx7 gets very little publicity on tv as people are scared of them
Hi all
Just a quick note to say thanks so much to all of you who made contact- we have now found a great car to film with.
The whole team is sincerely grateful for your support. There may be one or two things we might like to ask your expert opinions on as the project progresses so I hope to perhaps speak with some of you again soon
Best regards
James
Please do ask advice! The rx7 is a very niche car, and temperamental with it! The guys on here are a wealth of knowledge and have come across most issues,
All excited now!

Mikey is spot on with his comments and these were main reasons that the club formed in the first place
If you have any parts for sale or need any parts let me know, I\'m in the same situation with a full rebuild and I\'m struggling
They used mine, an unmodified blue 2000 RS. It was a good day out and I was well looked after by the crew. I got to see some Aventadors and McLaren P1\'s testing.
I\'ll let you know when the show is going out, not supposed to say yet.
Great stuff sounds like the perfect car ;)
Hope they do the 7 justice!

Great job, it\'s really important to make the most of these opportunities to let more people know about the wonderful rotary, and a stock blue 2000 FD is perfect for the job.
look forward to the show airing.
Is Ed going to do a V8 swap? :)
You could always tell us what show it isn\'t
As you may have guessed, the show is Wheeler Dealers. The date of the RX7 episode has been announced as March 31st on Discovery. Happy viewing.

The description is :
"With its legendary mix of unique technology and awesome performance, Mazda’s coupe is unlike any other. Mike finds one that appears to have nothing wrong with it and challenges Edd to make a good car even better. But these cars are complex and unforgiving. So while Edd handles with care, Mike sorts out some stylish mods to make the RX7’s looks match its performance."
Mine will be the blue one you see at the start. Some of the work on the project car was done by WGT who look after my two rotaries.
After this, several million more people will know what an RX7 is.
Cool, should be good to watch. I\'m not a fan of the graphics or the wheels on the finished car but they try to be different so its not going to be to everyones taste.
I wonder who sold them the car and who ended up buying it. Reg M690 UKM

"A stunning and completely unique example of Mazda’s RX7, featuring professional modifications including uprated Radtech radiator and intercooler, and an Apexi programmable ECU. Remapping carried out by rotary engine experts WGT has increased power to just under 300bhp. Externally the car has a striking graphic livery with hydrographic snakeskin wheels, mirrors and rear spoiler, combined with a dramatic body wrap. The car drives and handles brilliantly, is relatively low mileage with just 89,000 on the clock, and is in excellent overall condition."
phew I thought they modified your perfect blue 2000 spec their for a minute!!
Actually get rid of the graphics, the wheels with red against the silver works, quite good effort
As much as I like Wheeler Dealers I\'m pretty disappointed that they\'ve opted to use the RX7 in their show, and after seeing the photo in the above post even more so, seems to be more fitting on the front page of Max Power or Fast Car. Would of appreciated if they could have done what they did to the MK3 Range Rover and taken a dog and made it remotely classy.... not the other way round.
Only just my moany opinion though.
