silver fd with a bathurst stickers, any one on here?

should buy mine chap lol
 
comp test done yesterday, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9 on the back 7.4, 7.4, 7.5 on the front

The guy who owned the car before me had it mapped at Re:worx,
 
it was mapped at 0.5bar and made 304.2 bhp, on standard ports and standard injectors. they were only able to partially map it though from what he\'s told me
 
He said Re:worx put this down to the turbo housing (20g) being too small to dispell the exhaust gasses quick enough, this would create a head of pressure in the manifold, (even if only for a miniscule amount of time) so as the next exhaust "stroke" came around it was trying to force compressed exhaust gasses into a space they physically couldn\'t go into, hence slowing the rotors down and causing the juddering effect.
 
this is just what was said by the guy who i brought the car from, if re:worx or any other tuners would like to add their input we could put a nice little full stop after this.

yep, he\'s helped me out with a few probs as well.
 
he\'s also volunteered himself to help with a rebuild... fool lol

yeah i\'m a techie on the hercs.
 
wasn\'t working today, and live in bassett, just thought i\'d follow ya for a bit as i don\'t see many others around here lol
 
can\'t say i noticed the rims, but the sills look very nice against the yellow!
 
yeah do like my front end, just need to tidy up the re lights, cracked one of my covers so not as smart as it was...

mines unsilenced, and god is it loud!
 
can\'t imagine it\'d be that hard to make a silencer for them, but would there be any detrimental effect from restricting it?

Followed you through to lyneham in my pink rex today,
 
anyone on here?

welcome to the club mate,
 
at least yours managed 5 days, mine only lasted 1 lol

i was out there in november last year for 3 weeks, doing "leadership training" with the RAF and you couldn\'t drive past a single car dealership with out them having a line of rx7\'s for sale!
 
they don\'t seem to have anything on the scale of chavvy saxo\'s etc, everything seems to be jap and very tastefully done, make\'s our car scene in the uk look quite poor....
 
would love to move over there, only problem is the wages aren\'t up to much....

as for instruments, i lost mine recently and it turned out to the the TNS relay in the bank by the bonnet release. so have a fiddle with that.

have you looked to see if the grommet in the bulkhead is in properly?

may also be the door seals?

not sure if you\'ll have the same issue\'s with yours, but i\'ve got a bosche 044 pump in mine and it doesn\'t pick up the bottom 1/4 of the tank.

The guy who had it before me neglected to mention it when i picked it up, so i found out the hard way.

yeah sure it\'ll be there at some point.

do like the yellow one, not seen the others around long enough to have a good look at them though...
