Hi guys,
Im Chris and I have probably spoken to some of you guys at some point on the RX8 OC Forum, but anyway, Im here to say hi...
I currently have an RX8 in Winning Blue, a PZ in Galaxy Grey but most of all, I have an old 194 RX4 Coupe.
Shes in a garage and Ive owned her for nearly 2 years and have done absolutely ZERO to her in that time :dontknow:
She will be looking at a full restoration as shes currently a rolling shell, I dont even know if I have everything to put her back together, let alone whats fit for the purpose or what needs scrapping! ;D
I have the original 12A but will end up going with a 13B from an FD for obviuous reasons - keeping the old school retro bit alive but wanting a little more power and driveability.
She will be needing some body work and resto, and also put into a primer state at some stage.
That's basically about it - any comments welcome, especially from car body specialists :great:
Chris

:welcome: to MRC Chris.
Wow as you will see from my build up thread below, this is a huge undertaking.
For the FD engine, as these engines are now getting a bit rocking horse, a rotten TII donor car may be the better option for you and this will give you all the power you need in a car that won't stop or steer very well ;)

Here's a couple of pictures to hopefully give some motivation.

Quote from: cib24 on February 25, 2018, 05:04:58 PMI think Mazda uk were looking for one for the collection and willing to pay about £50,000!!! Gutted when I found that out as I had sold my for pennies comparatively
