Hi all, another newbie!

[avityesboy]

May i take this opurtunity to introduce myself unfortunately my name is Nigel so really i should be on the rover 25 forum. Better news is that ive just purchased an RX7 and will go by my cpu name of avi. (albeit that ive only seen pictures of the car and not seen it in the flesh yet!) OMG i here u say, but im told im in good hands as its a reputable dealer of imports and also has a 12 month warranty.

Im just gagging to see how quick she is, as my fastest motor to date was a lardy 2wd calibra turbo. The cars getting a full service, valet, dyno and tune before i take delivery hopefully next Monday.

Oh forgot to say its a 93 fresh import in red and apparently running 360bhp. Its had around £4k of goodies fitted, but thats not too much i suppose when a full suspension costs a grand!

Anyways been reading through most of the posts for the last few days and you all seem to be considerably more helpful than a lot i have been on.

So heres to hopefully a long and lasting friendship to you, the site and hopefully the car! :guinness

welcome aboard matey

Now all you need to do is drop £25 to MRC and become a full supporting member ( yeah i know - shamless dig at becoming a member )

May you FD bring a smile to your face every time you drive

and be amazed at the fuel guage going in the opposite direction of the rev counter

[avityesboy]

Wahoo its worked! if you look close (ish) the front bumper is a slightly darker shade of red, apparently the bloke is getting this sorted before i get it. Now i can do these piccy things heres the other 2:

looks good ,what extras does it have?

[avityesboy]

Heres the copy and pasted sales description:

ONLY 44,000 miles, HKS double clutch, HKS Induction Kit, HKS F-CON V PRO ECU, HKS hard pipes, HKS injection control, HKS turbo timer, Tanabe SS exhaust, big brake conversion, Cusco coilover suspension, ARC Intercooler, bonnet vents, new Volks CE28 alloys with Yokohama GP Tyres, TRUST boost controller, late model rear spoiler and front lip, immaculate condition.

I did pay 7k for it, but it has got a years warranty which i think will be worth a bit on it.

2wd Calibra turbo?  What happened to the other 2 wheels?

2wd Calibra turbo? What happened to the other 2 wheels?

The same as all the other Calibras, they drove out the factory and the transfer boxes instantly self destructed. lol

[avityesboy]

So do you think i will be happy with the acceleration? as this is mainly what im hoping for?

[Gman]

You will be very happy, just be careful otherwise you won\'t be happy :chat

[avityesboy]
