The car overall is in good condition for its age, its does have a few scratchs here and there and the bonnet is a little faded.
The underside of the car is very solid and and no signs of rust at all here, and rears archs are in excellent condition.

The car was last mapped at wgt and made 335bhp @ 0.8 bar, on a very sensible map i think, but could easily run more power if needed.

price im looking at is 4000, which is good for the amount that has been spend on this car.

anyone interested can phone me on 07786 810291.
or email  tomreber@hotmail.co.uk
or pm me here.

hi there,
 
i would say you are looking at a ratio of about 100:1 on a rx7 with no omp.
On my fc i add 10 ml of 2 stoke oil to 1 litre of v power.
Also use a good oil something like motul 710.

hope this helps.

hi all,
im changing the gearbox oil on my fc, can i use redline heavy shockproof gear oil? Also how many litres would i need.
thanks:)

just a quick question, my fc has a oil catch can on it.
Is it normal to get a little oil inside?
The can also has a small breather filter on the top of it,
i have noticed a small amount of oil coming out of the filter after taking the car out for a blast the other day.
Could i just remove the filter and block it off?, because most catch cans ive seen on other cars dont have a filter on them.

ok mate thanks that clears one thing up, i thought it could be one of the relays behind the front bumper.
ive already changed the headlight switch, checked fuses , bulbs etc.

hi chaps,
my fc has an electrics fault with the side lights, and dashboard illumination.
I have checked all the fuses, and replaced the headlight switch but still nothing.
Is there a relay on this circuit?
Hope someone can help cause mot is due soon.
thanks.

hi mate you should look on rhdjapan.com.
They have panspeed overfenders front and rear for the fc3s.
Loads of bodykits on here for the fc.

Does anyone use motul 710 2t as premix in their rx7 on here?
Normally i use millers kb2t but its hard to get hold of and pricey.
 
any ideas? thanks.

hello mate.
 
yes the car is now fixed.
there was a problem with the ecu overfuelling at idle causing it to flood.
It went to wgt to be fixed now its back at my local jap car specialist.
Hopefully i can get it back on the road soon .
still have many things to do, got some new project mu disks to be fitted,ferodo pads and braided lines.
then its into the bodyshop i think lol.

Just wondering if anybody uses touge distribution on here?
Im asking because my order is taking so long :confused:.
ordered some project mu brakes for my rx over 6 weeks ago, still have not even got a tracking number or anything yet.
i was gonna buy more stuff but not now.
Ive ordered loads of stuff before from japan before with no problems, from companys like rhd japan, and new era parts and allways get the parts within 3 weeks or so.
 
anyone else here using touge?
thanks .

Many thanks for your input guys.
The fc is in the garage now being worked on .
I forgot to add that the engine has already been rebuilt, about 1500
miles ago, so i really hope its not a water seal problem.
I will post some pictures of the car on here when i get it back.
