Tim, i see you\'ve still got your wicked sense of humour!

he\'s finished it really ... just doesn\'t want to give it back yet :D

It sounds beautiful... I was following Tim in it today, and it was almost perfectly silent, each and every time he just dabbed the throttle with his foot it roared... I don;t think he took it above about 4K, but it sounded awsome all the way. Gagging to hear that thing go to 9K!!! Even with the turbo spinning up it will sound incredible. You are gonna be one happy man when you drive that thing home!:D

F**ked if I know mate.  They\'ve had it for 6 months now.  I hope they\'ve built me whole new car - they\'ve had enough time to do it!
Now with added boost!  :burnout

Yeh but it will be worth the wait mate! and plus if you calculate the money that you  would have spent on fuel if you had gotten it abck ...say 3 months ago, then it has probably almost, nearly paid for itself!:) :rolleyes:
 Anyhoo, hope it all goes well and we get to see and hear of its exploits.
  cheers, michael.

Tis true, I wouldn\'t have been using it much over the winter, but now the sun is out I\'m itching to sort out all the little bits of paintwork, get the stereo in & drive it.

Might fit a remote central locking alarm & posh it up a bit (once my bank has recovered from the HUGE withdrawal I\'m about to make)
Now with added boost!  :burnout

It can\'t be that bad, having the UK\'s top 1st Gen Guru fine tuning every last detail. We did a little work on the throttle before the weekend, made it more responsive, checked, tripple checked and checked it all over again. I can\'t help polishing bits in the engine bay whenever I\'m working on it... I\'m bloody obsessed! Shouldn\'t be too long before it\'s run in. Then it\'s rolling road time ;) 200hp here we come. Still one of the finest sounding rx7\'s I\'ve ever heard.

You won\'t need a stereo! All is well.Tuned it today on the rolling road with Geff at Reworx. Only took it to 10psi,but with that it has more rwhp than a stock FD,with just one turbo,no intercooler and a smaller engine. :D

MikeLMR

I noticed it said FD3S on that sheet Tim .... but seeing as the registration number is correct I\'ll guess its not another windup :rollin

looking like it\'ll be a quick car ... your going to need some new underpants when you drive that Don !

Don I can confirm the car sounds fantastic.
Don\'t pay attention to Matt he\'s never polished anything in his life.
