Come on give me a clue please

by reading all the specs it does sound good but i think you will have to go and see it in person.  

All the mods are in place for a single turbo with apexi, intercooler etc.  I will take those decals off straight away as its been resprayed so should look very good in plain white.

All and all it does sound good, check for any smoke on start up, cold or hot; although in cold weather it does a bit.  Idle should be between 800 to 900k once warm and should hold not going up and down.  Keep an eye on the boost or check the peak reading on the commander by pressing up and that should give you previous woot reading.  

There is more to check and if you can get her compression tested then good although that has to be done by pro.

These are just guide lines and some of the thing i would do to check a motor so please don\'t just listen to me there are others here too who may be able to respond or come with you if nearer to have a look....:Thumbsup!

Somebody else was looking at it not too long ago, have a root and I think they did talk a bit about it. As said go and have a look. There are a few guys near you that could go as well !

Jimmy, I\'m looking for a BMW convertible - just need to shift my RX7 convertible first. If you wanted to try a cheaper RX7 and still catch some rays, then maybe I could supply the cash for the difference. You\'ll find my full ad on Autotrader website. Thanks, Gary
