..mini service.

If you are getting the service done at The Garage then they can get plugs (9\'s) for you no probs along with oil filter, sump plug and oil (not the air filter though), if not Pentland Components in Edinburgh will have the plugs laying around - e-mail me if you want e-mail contact info (I\'ve known Rich for a few years - he is another scooby owner, albeit only for another few weeks).
Can\'t remember for sure if he said he could get replacement pads for the FD, but think he could, I\'ll have the e-mail at work saying one way or the other.

BTW, if you are doing it yourself remember to get a new sump plug.

alright guys...

any idea\'s where i\'d get these pads from \'Hawk HT10 (front) and Hawk HP+ for the rear\'???

I\'ve had a reply as well from \'sparkplug technical department\'.........

\'The plugs you have reference to are suitable for the RX-7 twin turbo. NGK UK (and I think Mazda UK) recommend using BUR9EQP for all chambers purely because it\'s possible that the DIY mechanic may install them the wrong way round which could have disasterous results. There is very little negative effect in fitting BUR9EQP all round but we are aware that many RX7 owners prefer to keep factory spec which is why we have mede BUR7EQP available.\'

Robbie you mentioned new sump plug, any ideas where from??

Hawks = //www.shyauto.com

Plugs = they say 9s \'cause any muppet can get hold of em whereas 7\'s can be a challenge.

[Robertio]

Sump plug = Mazda Dealer (50p ish)

I got my Hawks from Shy, there is somewhere else that does them, but their name escapes me and the prices are within pennies of one another.

Cambridge Motorsports?

[antnicuk]

is castrol GTX ok for an FD?

[clive]

If you use Castol you need the one that says \'for basic engines\'

[Archbish]

Yup - oil is the only thing cheap about owning an RX-7...

[scooby_si]

yeah just to add presume Clives description is same thing but ensure it\'s the mineral oil version of GTX not the magnatec or wotever stuff.

I\'ve been making a note of parts and contact, but wondered if anybody can direct me to a useful guide/link for 6,000 mile service that a mechanic would find useful.  I don\'t want to DIY, but want to take my car to a good local mechanic I\'ve trusted for years who hasn\'t seen a twin turbo Rx7 before.  Mine is a standard UK spec 1995 model.

Any thoughts??
Cheers, Paul
