*BUMP* for Monday morning!

*BUMP*
 
Happy New Year.
 
UPDATE:

Ok, some extra pics attached.

Had a compression test done by Keith (TRIND-FD, what a nice fellow I have to add! ) on 28/12/12. Results are:

FRONT: 6.8 6.9 6.9
REAR: 6.7 6.8 6.7

Car will also have 6 months tax as of Today (01/01/13)

Any questions, let me know.

Cheers

Dan

Up for sale is my 2000 model Mazda RX7 FD3S Type-RB in Chaste white. This car was imported from Japan, purchased from Garage-R, through JM-Imports who shipped the Car to the UK for me. The car arrived in the UK (Tyneside docks) on 27th April 2011 with all legal paperwork completed by JM. I am the first UK owner of the car (bar the importer) with one previous owner in Japan. The car was not standard when I obtained it with the following mods added:
·         R-Magic N1 front bumper
·         R-Magic front wings
·         Side skirts (unknown make)
·         R-Magic polished intercooler pipes
·         Grounding Kit
·         R-Magic replica Type I bonnet
·         Paddle clutch (unknown make)
·         Titanium cat-back exhaust (very similar to Amuse R1 but not 100%)
·         Volk Racing SE-37 Bronze Alloys (Front: 17x8.5J, Rear: 17x9.5J with 114.5 pcd)
·         HKS Hipermax Pro coilovers
·         Momo steering wheel
·         Greddy Oil Temp, Oil Pressure and Water Temp gauges
·         JDM aftermarket stereo
·         Complete underseal on the bottom of the car
The mileage on the car was 54,210km on the clock (33,684 miles) when I picked it up, currently now on 64,000km. A km to Miles converter was installed along with a fog light and a delimiter to remove the JDM limits. I picked the car up from JM-Imports on 4th May 2011. Since then, I have added the following:
·         Cobra 4138 Cat 1 alarm (with certificate to prove) and tilt sensor (Anti-Hijack)
·         Apexi Power FC w/Commander (base map only)
·         Maxxis MA-Z1 rear tyres (255 40 R17)
I took the car to AtomicRex (11/11/11)to have the following done:
·         Powerflex Bush Kit
·         AtomicRex Anti-Roll bar
·         AtomicRex Pillowball Kit
·         Fuel Filter Change
·         Engine oil and filter change
·         Gearbox oil change
·         Diff Oil change
·         Brake Fluid (DOT6.1) change
Couple of bad points:
·         First time I took the car out in the wet, I went round a roundabout and slid on some oil on the road causing the back end to swing out. As a result, the front end hit the adjacent curb damaging the N/S of the front bumper and scuffing the N/S alloy. The alloy was ok enough to tidy up and still holds the bead. The front bumper was repaired and re-sprayed professionally. No other damage was sustained.
·         The alloys, due to being anodised, are stained with brake dust and have slight discolouration. With the correct chemicals, the staining could be removed.
I am sad to see this go but with a house purchase going ahead very soon, unfortunately the car has to go. The car starts hot and cold fine. The car has 4 months tax and 10 months MOT remaining. I think I have answered everything as much as possible and been honest where possible. If any questions arise, please email me; viva.la.dan.88@gmail.com or phone me on 07817780020.
The car is currently located in Somerset.
Offers around £9,500.

Facebook search is pretty pants :/ can\'t find you either - comes up with three of you but they are not from round here?! Will keep trying, might be something to do with my security settings?
In short, car is running but my engine undertray fell off a few days back and made hell of a mess of my front bumper. Pretty annoyed but hey - nice repair job for someone! Hope yours is going ok?

Ah sorry bud, search for Intek and ill be the first result that comes up (hopefully, usually am! ha)

Hey mate,
 
Sounds like your the guy with the black 7 I saw in Shell a few weekends back on Ilminster roundabout? Even if not, a better late-than-never welcome from me!
 
Dan

Hey,
 
Wondering if you would consider selling the heater control surround seperately? If so £50? Please could you send some pictures of the surround on its own to viva . la . dan . 88 @ gmail . com
 
Many Thanks

Hello,
 
Just a quick question, what is the difference between a PFC offered by R-Magic compared to one for sale through Apexi direct? (apart from price and the sticker!)
 
Only wondering as I have managed to pick an R-Magic one up (although it has been played around with by Knightsports) and just wondering what the difference is?
 
Could be up for sale soon if anyone is interested (will fit \'99+ FD3S)
 
Cheers
 
Dan

Thanks for the welcome guys!
 
John, totally forgot you are close by, apologies! When funds recoup, I will be looking at getting an Apexi PFC (and mapping session) then slowly add parts accordingly. Will need my suspension (HKS Hipermax Pro) set up for fast road use soon - doesnt quite feel right as it was messed about with in Japan to get the car onto the boat! Will get in contact if anything else pops up!
 
Clive, feel gutted for Glenn - don\'t know what I would have done if I wrote mine off though, probably cried a bit then do the dreaded phone call to the insurance would be logical ha!! Know what you mean about the twins, quite easy to miss judge sometimes. Single turbo does sound like a good option from what I have read on here - we will see what the future brings
 
Cheers
 
Dan

Hello all,
 
After lurking for quite a while and feeling guilty, I thought I\'d make myself known as this site is such a goldmine full of valuable information - what I get out i will do my best to put back in/help where possible!
 
Anyway, I\'m a first time rotary owner, proud owner infact of a 2000 FD3S RB-SE in white. The very helpful Jurgen at JM Imports helped with importing it and loved every minute of the 2 month ownership so far. Unfortunately, the last month its been off the road, wet roads + tight roundabout + diesel slick = curb action - as a result I hit the front bumper bad enough to warrant it being off the road so it could be repaired...gutted! Thankfully it\'s back and enjoying it while a) the weather is good and b) the wallet is healthy(ish) ha! Will post a pic of the car in the 3rd Gen series forum when I get home tonight.
 
Look forward to talking to you all, will no doubt get in touch with some garages soon. Have Dragon moved on from rotarys or was I imagining it? if so I\'m guessing RE-WORX will be next point of contact?
 
Cheers
 
Dan

Hey mate,
 
Some predicament as you, trying to find these lenses are as rare as hens teeth! Saying that, got a confirmation from RHDJapan that they stock them now at an absolute premium, £90 for two bits of acrylic!!
 
HTH
