Hello!
My name is Chris i'm 26 from Norwich,Norfolk. Currently drive a '92 Supercharged MX5 and i should be collecting an RX7 FB next weekend
Nice. Welcome....we all like piccys here. Get some up of both pls.
The MX5 isn't exactly stock and certainly divides opinions

I've got a photo of the FB on my home computer which i'll post when i'm home
Wow thats some serious modding...thats 1 lucky fb to have you!
I like it mate! Theres alot of individualty (cant spell) on here so youll fit right in!
What plans for the fb!
Be nice for you todo a build thread here!
Damn, thats bad ass! I like it!!!! :)
Unfortunately the FB may not turn out as the same standard as the MX5 and it'll be a long term project while me and the other half save for our first mortgage.
Its got a bad amoking issue at the moment so need to get that sorted first. Its missing majority of the interior too so will need to source that. Apart from that i think it needs some TLC. Ive only seen a few photos of it despite a friend currently owning it
Hopefully the attachment works
Welcome. Really like the MX styling, particularly the rear wing uprights. Look forward to seeing your progress with the FB. I've been looking for a good one for a while. Hopefully you can sort the smoking issue quickly.
Once i get the car i'll be able to have a better idea on what needs doing etc. Anything engine wise and it'll go straight over my head for the time being
dont worry about that i knew nothing about rotaries few years ago....and theres still lots to learn! ;D
i havent owned an FB yet but its on my list! ive had 7 rx8 231 s1, wife had an rx8 r3! 2 fd's just got my second and a Westfield with a rx8 engine in it...theres quite a few projects going on here and people will always give you encouragment!
Casey will be along shortly no doubt hes got 2 FBs! and re japi and his brother from finland are building a fb rally cross car!
Hi Chris, :welcome:
You wont find any divided opinions in here over what you decide to do with the FB, infact looking at your fully sorted MX-5 it will be interesting how the FB evolves 8)

What I can see from that pic, I think it has same colored interior with my bro´s car. So he might be able to help you with those interior parts. There is allready some parts from his car in UK ;)
But car looks quite good. Cant wait to see what you will do with it :)
FB is quite amazing car, allthough it was designed in ´70. It has very impressive solutions. And how it handles... :)
Bro and me have been into rotarys over ten years now. Allways learning new stuff. :)
A little update
Craig has decided to remove the engine so he can learn how to rebuild it and he was going to scrap the shell.
I've asked him to let me know once the engine has been removed and i'll have the rolling shell off him.

;D ;D
Only just found this topic - a belated welcome to the forum :)
So, what are you going to do with the rolling shell?
Providing i get it,i'll eventually try and find another 12A to put back in it,but they seem to be hard to find at the moment. I've seen people putting 13bs in (NA and Turbo) but again they're either hard to come by or well out of my price bracket.
Hi from north Norfolk. Nice looking ride. Just picked up my first rx8 so might see you about Norwich mate.
