Ok, well thanks buddy, I'd have to see about getting rid of the current one first so I'll think about it, would be nice to see the compression results though obviously.
Thanks for your time.
Andy

Hi buddy, looking at getting back into rotary ownership, this would be what I would be after but have a couple questions. (its been a few years since my last one, forgive me if I appear dense! )
Do you offer any sort of warranty on your rebuilds?
Do you know the mileage/year of the engine donor?
Do you consider taking stuff in as part ex? (I'm currently running a late mk2 Mr2 t-top)
Thanks in advance.
Andy

Sorry. This has now sold.

Ok guys,
Much to my dismay the time has come to sell the rex, so here goes.
 
1992 Silver Type R
9 months MOT, 3 months Tax (car has covered less than 1000 mls since last MOT)
HPI clear
75,000 Miles (the clocks show 127,000 because they were changed from another vehicle, with receipt to prove the mileage).
Toad cat 1 alarm and immobiliser with certificate, 2 keys and remotes.
Blitz Nur Spec cat back exhaust, Apexi Filters, upgraded xenon bulbs
Black Diamond grooved discs and EBC yellow pads all round (covered less than 2000 mls)
It has the original alloys with good tread all round, even has a full original tool kit in the boot, both of these features are now rare I believe, and has the later spec carbon look seats.
Also has an re-amemiya boost gauge and column mount though the needle needs reseating in the gauge
 
I have all the paperwork from when the car was rebuilt in March 2008 at Jimmys and purchased by the previous owner, and serviced when it should have been from then either at jimmys or Hurley Rotary Engineering.
I have also managed to acquire copies of the original import paperwork (half of which are in japanese so not really any help but still nice to have them I think though they do prove the mileage when the car was imported, 84000 were in kms).
 
Since I have owned the car (Apr 2010) I have also fitted a`new battery, radiator, and diff seals.
 
My reason for selling the car is I have been led to believe the car needs a rebuild in the near future because while it will always start when cold and then run, it can sometimes be tricky to start when hot, though it does not or has ever used any excessive amounts of oil or water, so I have priced the car accordingly. Also the speedo needle has become unreliable though the mileage is increasing properly.
 
If interested, please call Andy on 07814 002019 and I can give you any other details, though not after 9pm as I work earlys and will be in bed!! Test drives are possible though only with proof of comprehensive insurance (not 3rd party), otherwise I will happily drive it for you.

How much can we expect to get for an FD that needs a rebuild nowadays if I was to sell it?

Definitely engine smell !! . Though I\'ve just been across to the local rotary specialist, was gonna get hold of a cat but no point now. Not good news. Has told me its droppin onto 1 rotor so its that dreaded bloody rebuild time :-( Gutted don\'t come close! And it won\'t start when hot either, proving compression has gone out the window :-(

Yeah I\'m still running the air pump and no not got a decat cos I can\'t afford the apexi yet :-/ its actually sounding like the exhaust might be blocked so maybe its overheated and broken up. Noticed this morning I also got a burning smell after driving for a while :-( would you recommend keeping the air pump and standard cat? Or uprating the cat to a sports one, (though I no idea how much they are)? Or decat and apexi when I can afford it?

No haven\'t got a PFC. What factors could make this light up? And I\'m guessing its not good to drive it if it stays on?

*cause* , am on my phone. Predictive text!!! :-D

Morning ppl
While on the way to work this morning \'playing\' with an impreza, as I hit about 6500 revs in 4th, the heat light came on. I lifted off an it went off, so carried on to work the next couple miles. Though when I pulled up, the tickover had gone really low an lumpy an the exhaust sounds like its blowing from somewhere in front of the cat. Would the exhaust abuse the light or maybe something bit more serious?
Any help appreciated cheers folks.

Mine used to bubble like crazy after I switched it off, though solved that for about 15 quid. Simply changing the ast cap worked for me.

I admit it\'s not mazda but there is one that\'s makes all these look narrow and not that exciting.... Try the old zakspeed Capri on for size, now theres a wide arch kit!!

Mine is doing exactly the same, Mick at Hurley discovered the air bleed screw?, was fully open not helping matters, has mostly solved it for now but can\'t comment on the economy as I\'d had a split in the rats nest for a while, so now that\'s fixed I been flat out everywhere this last week enjoying the boost!!
