Hi Griff :wave

The links given on this thread so far are a great place to start looking. There\'s a guy near to where I work who just bought a rx-7 from Jimmy\'s and he had nothing but good things to say about them (including their after sales help with a couple of things).

I went with Newera, mainly because I struggled to find a low mileage post MY1999 car in the UK. They are really helpful and will find you a car in Japan to exactly the spec you want providing you can wait for the whole process which takes a while. For example, I put my deposit down in December and should be collecting my car in two or three weeks time (although I think mine might have taken a bit longer than normal). Can\'t recommend them enough so far tho :yes

For rx-7 model info, I spent a night searching on Google and the best site I found for a general summary was this one. It\'s also worth spending time searching the archives of this forum as most basic questions have usually been asked and answered already

[Griff]

Nice one!
Those sort of reviews are good news to me. I will be sure to have a look into the archives of this forum to check out whats hot / whats not, and then look into the likes of the previously mentioned links to importers and dealers.

Griff,

Depending on what sort of power you\'re after try //www.dragonperformance.co.uk, Ross normally has high powered ones.

Also try //www.autotrader.co.uk, the reason being that most of the importers will advertise on there too.

[Griff]

Thanks for all the info guys. Been looking for cars today while at work and calling around for insurance quotes etc. Best quote I have is from DIG (Dorset Insurance Group), on a Jap import £1700!! for a Type R 2.6. Thats £200 more than I am paying on my Celi at the moment, but the catch is NO MODDING!! and ax excess of £560!

I will have to try to get more quotes next week

[Christopher]

EA Chertsey. Sorry your not who I thought you were. Thought you worked in the company next to me. Theres someone with the same name Very nice Celica by the way. Is it a 190 or T sport?

[Griff]

Its the 190. They are nice cars. Thanks for the nice words about it, but it has to go to make way for the RX7

[Christopher]

Have you decided what sort of RX-7 do you want?
