How would i go about taking it out?

The EGI fuse???

Thats in a Small fuse box on the Passenger inner wing (Nr the Battery) it has EGI, Head etc stamped on it. The Fuse is quite big!!

ah i see, i was just looking at that! has it got a cap on by any chance, you take that off, and unscrew it clockwise? i was going to ask someone what that was for! lol. i had no idea where that fuse was to take it out! the spark plugs are quite buried, so i will need to dismantle a few things sometime in order to get to it me thinks. possibly a job for 2morow! so long as its not ****ing it down again! :-(

The Fuse is pink if my memory serves correctly??

The Plugs can be got at without removing stuff but if your finding it Difficult you can take off the Intake elbow. Basicly the Long Black or Silver Plastic Pipe that goes from the Intercooler to the pasenger side of the engine. Its held on with 4x 12mm nuts and the Rubber hoes at the other end. Be carfull you don\'t loose the rubber seal or damage the Plastic valve thats fastened to the bottom two Nuts..

Nice, An R2 like mine

antrosser · May 18, 2006, 07:47:13 PM

how can you tell it is an R2!? you really know your stuff! RX7\'s are all new to me!

Grizzly · May 18, 2006, 07:51:22 PM

Its got Box\'s in the Back Ie. a Two seater and no Sunroof.

LOL as i say Like mine

antrosser · May 18, 2006, 07:53:59 PM

i wonder if you can take the boxes out and put the seats there again! makes it cheaper to insure! lol

Grizzly · May 18, 2006, 08:06:56 PM

LOL i\'m sure there is people on here that would swap seats for Box\'s but if i was you i\'d keep them (the rear seats are realy small and unusable)

RobbieRX-7 · May 18, 2006, 09:37:34 PM

you can put a lot more stuff in the rear seats than what you can in the bins, plus the seats are ok for slim kids upto about 14 years old, or your shopping. Im a bit confused..you have become a member this month on this forum, you said you have just bought this rx7 from london, but your selling it on ebay??

antrosser · May 18, 2006, 09:45:56 PM

yeah very true. I cant be arsed with the hassle either! lol. laziness prevails every time!

antrosser · May 18, 2006, 09:50:17 PM

yeah. ive only just joined, and have had the rx7 for a few days now. the only reason i put it on ebay was because it was a free listing weekend so i thought i would give it a go to make a bit of a profit on it. im an opertunist you see, and because im always skint, i like to make money (As im sure everyone else does too), but on the otherhand i love gettin stuck into things and keeping myself busy, so i am looking forward to getting stuck into the engine. But i\'d rather earn money than spend it! lol
