Does this sound viable?

[T11MNM]

I\'m hoping to go and take a look at an RX7 all the way down in Devon on Saturday. I\'ll be traveling from Doncaster so am hoping the car is as good as the current owner claims. If anyone would like to give me a hand by going to have a nosey this week then please get in touch. (long-shot i know, haha)

Anyway, my plan would be to meet the current owner at Dragon and have them give the car a once over and a compression test to give me a bit of piece of mind. The car was rebuilt by pip and is currently running a single turbo kit fitted by Ross and Dragon. So i should hope all is ok in the engine department.

I\'m just wondering if i\'m asking a little too much, the owner seems ok with this so hopefully i can speak with Ross tomorrow and get something arranged.

Anyway, wish me luck and if anyone would like to go look at the car or offer any other nuggets of information away from the forum please get in touch via email on tim.darracott@gmail.com

Thanks

Well all sorted and dragon will be taking car for a nosey and a compression test on Saturday.

Well you can\'t do any better than the way you\'re approaching it.

got my fingers crossed for you.

You\'ve been very sensible with your rx7 research, it\'s amazing! If only i had your composure & patience... I pretty much bought the first one i saw... :Giggle... I\'m just glad i went to trustworthy rx motors instead of some private owner trying to shot his rotary on the way out!

i did the same and rushed into it a bit but i think i bought the right car, carnt wait to get it back on the road now
 
hope all goes well for you mate.
 
is it a owner off here. i take its a yellow one or have you changed your mind now :Giggle

Mind has been changed, lollers!

He\'s not a member but has spent a mountain of money at Dragon over last couple of years. I\'m going to try and speak to Pip or someone of authority at WGT tomorrow to ask a few questions as well.

I just hope the bodywork is up to spec, do these cars rust at any particular points? I\'m sure i\'ll find something with a quick search but just in case.

Well just back after a 600 mil round trip.

The car went fantastically well, mechnically it looks great. The bodywork and interior left much to be desired.

I wasn\'t really sure what to expect as the price was low, but when quizing the owner over the telephone as to why this was he just stated the pain on the front bumper and wing wasn\'t very good.

Upon further questioning on the phone i was told that the interior was pretty good and also there was no evidence of rear end damage or paint. This wasn\'t the case unfortunatley.

I understand that it was cheap but had the owner been honest with me when answering questions a very long journey and money could have been saved.

Lesson learnt, now were are the good single turbos, haha! Nuk Su Kow, let me speak to the bank and i\'ll be in touch.
