Hello,
Email is mark.hutt@virginmedia.com

Apologies for "going dark" - I\'ve actually completely moved into the new house now so the car is sat off the road at my parents\' house.
I\'ve not had a chance to get a compression test done as haven\'t had much time around the car. My dad has assured me he has been making the neighbours aware it still runs by turning it over regularly
In the interest of getting this gone I\'d be asking for around £3,500. If you want to take a look at the car it\'s in Berkshire so let me know and we can try and arrange a viewing - no commitment to buy, obviously. The car has no tax so unfortunately no test drives

Bit of an old thread this one but to update I eventually decided to keep the Rx7 and just bought a cheap car for work. It was harder to part with than I thought!

I\'ve moved house now though and storing the car temporarily at my parents\' house so it really must go. I really mean it this time!!

Just wanted to bump this thread to see interest levels. I\'ll update with newer photos and any relevant info at the weekend. Let me know if any questions come to mind and I\'ll try my best to answer.

Thank you.

Hello,
Thanks for your replies. Mileage is approximately 79,000miles.
I was just after the cash but what have you got??

Hello,
Thanks for all of the comments and interest so far. As requested I have a few more interior and engine bay pics...

As always, let me know if you have any questions or need any more pictures etc. and I\'ll do my best to help :Thumbs-up

Thanks again.

did you mention mot and tax?  quite tempted myself

Good point, thank you.

TAX has expired. Just checked the MOT and that expires in... 6 days! Obviously with the interest of test-drives etc. I\'ll get them both renewed and updated (unless anyone wants to take it away on a truck??).

Hello all,
Due to the relocation of my work office I\'m having to sell my reliable FD for something more suited to sitting in traffic for extended periods of time :driving

I have listed a brief specification of the car below:

RE-Amemiya style Rear diffuser (recently removed but can refit prior to sale)
BK Racing alloys (BK555 Model â€" lightweight and good quality) 18x8.5 front with 245/40/18 Kumho SPT sports and 18x9.5 rear with 265/35/18 Kumho SPT sport tyres

Tinted rear window

As with many imports I have no actual paperwork from the rebuild but I have compression test receipts from just after it was brought into the country showing +8.0 all round. The last time I took it to Carl at Hayward he compression tested it with strong 7\'s. I\'ll try and find this receipt and scan it in.

All standard items on the car are working fine including remote central locking (with automatic ‘anti-hijack’ locking on starting the car), electric windows, electric mirrors, air-conditioning and power-steering.

The car is running on standard twin sequential turbos and both boost perfectly fine. They have been well maintained, as has the entire car, and the engine has not undergone any extra strain from excessive modifications.

Engine starts first time every time from hot or cold.

I can confirm that there is NO black smoke (over fuelling), no blue smoke (worn turbo/oil seals) and no white smoke/steam (work or blown Apex seals) at all. The car does not miss-fire, does not sound like a tractor (worrying sign that it could be worn/blown) and has clearly not had a hard life.

As you will see by the pictures, the engine is tidy with no signs of any leaks or evidence that it has been tampered with in any way. It runs great.

When driving the car around, it pulls cleanly in every gear, with no flat spots, hesitation or loss of power.

The clutch and gearbox are strong and it changes gear absolutely fine.

I am reluctant to sell but the car must go so it has been priced accordingly. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding the car or to arrange a viewing. Please no time wasters; this is a great car and is very well priced regarding the spec, condition and reliability.

I have printouts from previous services and work undergone at Hayward Rotary showing compression figures and I will try and find them and get copies scanned in for you over the weekend as well as a few interior shots.
In the mean time please let me know if I have missed anything out or if you have any other questions.

Thanks.

Hello again,
So I\'ve got a fuel leak now :2Rolleyes Unfortunately it\'s right about the rear diffuser so I\'m currently in the process of drilling out the rivets etc. which hold that in place. Luckily I glued it in place before I riveted it on to make it really secure, so it\'s really on there!!! :Hammer
 

Anyway, just wanted to know if anyone had experienced this problem before and what the solution is?

• Is it repairable?
• Do need to change the whole fuel tank?
• How much will this cost me??

Any input greatly received as normal.
 
Thanks.

Hi all,
Checked the relay and that was fine but the supply to the relay was non-existant so I checked the fuses and rather strangely one of the fuses hadn\'t just blown but was completely missing!?
 
Anyway, I replaced it and it\'s all working fine for now. But if anyone else is in the same predicament, I found this post on the fuse layout which I found very helpful. Hopefully it will help you too.

Thanks again ad4m1

Thanks mate - will check that. It was working fine before I changed the F100 which is what I found confusing :3Confused

Hi guys,
I recently went to get an MOT and they failed the car on the indicators going a bit mental (not their actual words), so I changed the F100 and the indicators now seem to work fine! Sadly, now the sidelights don\'t work. :Hammer
The main beams work, but the sidelights, rear lights and dash lights don\'t come on at all.
Can anyone think of what I might have done to cause this? Maybe a wire pulled loose when the F100 was changed? A fuse blown? A plug not connected properly?
I\'m going to have a go at it tomorrow morning so thought I would ask for your opinions and help this evening.

Thanks,
Mark

Awesome. Really nice work

Hello all,
After having some trouble with my indicators and MOT tests I need a bit of help.
Firstly, can someone please confirm that the metal box in the passenger footwell is the CPU2?
And secondly, does anyone know how much a new (used- but new to me!) one of these will set me back? Or how to test it??
 
Thanks for your help.

Nice work mate. Looks good. I\'m currently trying to fabricate a dual gauge holder to go in place of the centre dash vent. I\'ll let you know how it goes!
I\'ll probably get onto the ones above the glove box after that. What are your gauge holders made of?
 
Just noticed that you\'ve got the same gear knob as me. Although my lights have decided to only come on when you push the top down! If it\'s not one thing it\'s another!! lol

That looks really good. I originally wanted white gauges on mine but thought it might be easier to modify the standard black ones.
 
How are your 3 gauges mounted near the glove box? Could you take a closer picture or two for me please? -My dash has a small rip in it above the glove box so i need to do something and really want to make something to have gauges there.
 
Thanks mate,
Mark
