Title: Been a long time...
Post by: countzero1971 on August 26, 2016, 06:37:42 PM
Been a very long time since I post in here so thought I would give you an update as I feel like a new member again!

Many of you will know my Winning Blue RX8 - which has now been sold  :'(

it has been replaced with this beast

I have a fairly long history with Mazdas as you can see from my sig!

can't promise I will be around that much but thought I would update a few people on my Rotary journey!

Thanks Clive - just getting used to it at the moment

1997 JDM FD3S think it's the base model

Still running twins and done just over 77,000km compression in the low 8s

lots of cosmetic issues to fix but happy overall

Checked the tags and it's a Type R

doubt it's 100% standard as some parts have HKS on them
