whats the reliability like?

[anthony]

hi you live in middx? nice i live in pinner what part you from?

only problem with these is the insurance if your young, im waiting till the frost goes away to insure mine again as i want to get used to it in the dry before i start taking it out in the not so good weather.

servicing doesnt seem so bad if your okay with a spanner, so im going to be doing maintenance myself, ive only got stock ecu at the moment so im going to run it on optimax and octane booster to bring to the right octane level for a few months to make sure i def like it and keep it and then i\'ll buy an apexi

fuel consumption as others say is not great but what do you expect from a twin turbo car? and i think its worth it as theres not many cars that are such a head turner as the rx7

ive seen a few round are area once the summer comes we should have a meet.

Really appreciate the good advice from all. The feedback on the on the heat control has cheered me up. I had turbo cars when i was younger so im sensitive to heat issues especially going to france.

At the moment i saving for an RX7, it ws going to be a TT supra but know you folks have convinced me on reliability ill stick with an RX7 as ive always wanted one.

just a few bills/estimates i want to understand:

how much for an upgrade rad?
cost for height and damper adjustable suspension?
conversion cost of single turbo
typica of body kit, supply and fit. ive noticed one done in america bythe hock up shop. any one know what this kit is?


Just wanted to mention as well this forum seems really good. Some ive used in the past people cant seem to be bothreed to reed or answer your posts but so far you folks have been spot on :Thumbs-up . really looking forward to getting the RX7 now!!!

Upgraded aluminium rad around £400 + fitting.  If you\'re handy with tools its not a hard job to install.

Coilovers from around £600 upwards.  Sometimes come up on here for sale for less and fair amount of cars will already be fitted with them (like mine  :yes )

Single turbo conversion around £2000 upwards, again easier to buy one thats already converted.  Do a search on here, you need a lot of parts for this.

And Anthony i\'m just down the road from you in Harrow.

I have tein flex on my toy - full height, damping and pre-load adjustable.  Was £1200 inc VAT and fitting from Shy if I remember right - was a while ago though.  Best bet is to call for prices.  Absolutely transformed the car as the old stuff was very tired.

I know a very, very good tuner who is based in Chigwell. He\'s happy to help anytime day or night and as he\'s a 1/2 man band the prices are incredibly reasonable and he really knows his stuff. If you want his details drop me a line ty.raeburn@hotmail.com and you can have a chat with him.
