UK vs Import

[AshRX]

Thanks man most appreciated, the only thing i aint keen on is the exhaust but im trying to workout if i want to keep the duel exhaust look but with another system or go for a single system like an APEXi - currently looking at the APEXi GT SPEC exhaust system. What you reckon? opinions welcome!

I had the GT on mine but it was single pipe 5 1/2 inch box.....

Lets just say it was loud, too loud but mine was totally decatted. They are very good exhausts but just be prepared for upset neighbours :Laugh

There was no official Mazda UK spec RX-7 in \'99.  TW Whites have just acted like any other importer, bought the cars in Japan and then got them through SVA to get them UK road legal.  I also bought mine from T W Whites back in December \'99. It\'s an import!

Yup, rear bumper is J-Spec. They\'ve just converted one of the reversing lights into a fog light which is what some people like me do

Very nice car matey!

You alright kev thanks for the post, didnt mean to make it sound like it was officially liecensed simply ment they where done officially by an official dealership (ive had this with all UK spec cars ive brought from official dealerships, registered and classified UK spec, and i get them insured as UK) how is yours registered with your insurance and log book etc? mine is down as UK spec everywhere and on everything, just like my R34 its an import brought in by an official nissan dealership converted and registered as uk spec. Whats yours down as? My skyline is registered and insured as uk spec and i havent had any trouble with it, saved me a **** load of cash on insurance compared to what it would have been if marked as an import, had to make a claim 2 months ago cause some clown reversed into my side door had no problem with the insurance went straight through.

The only true UK model/spec rx7s where in 93-95 if im right.

Well mine was registered by T W Whites as new at first registration, it is down as 2616cc (but I know lots of people get that changed, I haven\'t bothered).  Technically, I was the second owner with 66 miles on the clock when I got it, the 3 year/60,000 mile warranty I got was from the Mazda Approved Used Car Program.  I don\'t see anywhere on my V5 that shows whether it is classed as UK or Import.  It has always been insured as an import, because it is.  As you say, they were manufactured for sale in the UK from 93-95, some hung around in the dealer network as unsold for a while and may be registered as \'96.
