Hi guys, and girls, well after many months of longing for a RX7 i\'ve finally took the plunge and bought one! Cant describe how over the moon I am with it, its everything I\'d hoped it would be! A little tight inside being over 6ft, but I can deal with that!

Bought the car from a friend, was actually the same person i bought my last car from so I trust its been looked after well. The s13 I had before never put a foot wrong, even after countless drift days and hard driving.

I\'ve only had it 2 days and already experienced my first flooded engine! was all ready to take my first drive to work in it work this morning, imagining how envious all my workmates would be and i couldnt even get the damn thing started! Had to take the whole day off work to try and get it de flooded and running again in the ****ing rain! Called up ex owner steve, luckily he was on a half day and came over to lend a hand. Eventually found a loose earth near the back of the engine bay meant that the engine would turn over but not catch. By which point the battery was half deed and decided our last chance would be to give it a bump start down the hill, with great success! So im a happy man again, and that earth is now securly fastened. Lets hope this will be my last tale of unreliability, not likely!
