Thanks Clive. The car is currently MOT'ed until the end of August. To say I am mourning the departure from the rotary world for the time being is an understatement, as the new place for the next chapter of life is scarcely any good for decent roads or car ownership! Anyone who has followed my project on this forum will know what plans I had for the car, and for my attention to detail but most of all just the sheer fun and thrills I have had in the FD. This is my first sports car and choosing rotary; despite its high maintenance and prodigious thirst helped me to appreciate the care and rigour of ownership but also realise how better a driver I became going rear wheel drive with not a lot of Millennial driver aids people all over take for granted! I love its nimbleness in the corners, superb steering feel and laugh out loud bark from the exhaust - this is a car that for me is personally a hero that lives up to its hype and I had no issues with its claimed foibles. If not for this circumstance, I was in no mood to let this go. Far from being a rotary itch, my days spent with this car along the finest Welsh roads and Surrey woodlands have been memorable and visceral to my sense of what a car can do; and how it bonds between driver and car.

UK Based Japanese Import FD3S for sale due to change of residence for work. Hi-Flow Twin Turbo on stock port engine rebuilt 4000 miles ago. Complete engine restoration using all new OEM seals and bearings, including brand new eccentric shaft, 10mm rolled steel engine studs, and lapped plates / resurfaced housings.

AEM water injection system in place, but needs new pump cover as one of the pipe fittings broke during rebuild. AEM smart inductive coils for excellent and consistent ignition. Cooling system overhauled to a V-Mount system with a new TGS filler neck that eliminates a need for an AST. Has a 3 inch stainless exhaust system de-cat from down pipe to cat back. Has had A/C, air pump, rear seat bench and radio removed, to accommodate V-Mount setup and rear seat battery relocation.

Has a unique LPG fuel system installed which allows seamless switching between normal petrol and gas. Separate ECUs running respective maps for the two systems. Nozzle feed for gas is located behind the rear license plate that can flip up for fill ups.

For more info, message me if interested. Advertised for £14,600 firm, reluctant sale for a solid car mechanically needing nothing.

I am around the forums most weeks and saw a good few from MRC just this past Friday.

Me 4, hoping to meet as many MRC members as possible in upcoming events in the new year with healthy and running rotaries 

Hi Ann, what time is the dinner event starting by the way? Just want to ensure I can arrange travelling appropriately. Thanks.

Hi Jeff, I think the last time I saw you was at the Christmas party - a few years ago now!

It would be great to see you.

Yes it would be good to see you and a few others from a few years ago. The FD will be in good health by then - be keen to see your R3 if you are driving it over.

Update - Metal AST and Air Conditioning system sold thus far.

Ok thanks, if you want it maybe we could meet half way to pass it over to you? Let me know if you want it.

I have for sale a set of front and rear disc brakes for the RX7 FD (RS & RZ models) along with matching front callipers with rebuilt piston seals. The front brake discs are 314mm x 32mm and are used stock discs, whilst the rear discs are brand new Dixcel units and measure 314mm x 20mm. To make it fully function as a system you will need to source two sets of brake pads (which are same sizes as stock), and a 17 inch spec disc hanger for the rear stock calliper to accommodate the larger diameter rear disc. 

Due to weight of the items, I will post them in two separate boxes. I am looking for £750 o.n.o.

I have a comprehensive list of OEM items that I am happy to let go of and below is a list of parts I have available (some sold as a whole system and prefer not to split) should anyone want them. The price I put down will assume that it will be posted (UK only) but message me if you wish to come collect and I will reflect price to you accordingly.
