dam, how much you expecting to sell that for?

Joking apart, I\'m not going to base my opinions of a company on someone\'s spelling/grammar: they\'re car dealers, not the Poet Laureate

Being an importer myself for well over a decade now, it disheartens me to see companies spring up importing aload of poor quality imports that they know nothing about.

I have always been very passionate about every car that i\'ve brought over, and believe me when I say it pays to buy these types of cars from someone who has looked after them well, as it will save you a small fortune in the long run.

They are the most frustraiting yet enjoyable car you will ever own!

Personally between going for one of there cars and the likes that interloper393 is selling, in my eyes there\'s no competition.  Interloper393 all the way!

Best of luck with what ever you choose though mate!

"Greedy oil temp gauge" LOL

 Having said that, I\'m wary of anything in the West Yorkshire area due to the horror stories I\'ve read about that "Keighley Motors" place. I heard they changed their name a coupe of times due to bad image, and I\'m not up for getting myself involved with any of that business.
Any particular badness about MIR, or is it just general cowboy antics?

Anyone know the present name of the Keiley Trade Centre?  Didnt know it had chaged names, as ive dodged all mention of it for a while now!

I went to see this car, a search for posts made under my username may yield a bit of info.

Would it be the one with gauze over the turbo inlet then? In a word - Sod that then! Ah well. I\'m sure there are enough out there that are good. Cheers for the heads up.

I think I\'d rather take the advice of a knowledgeable importer like yourself than someone who puts a car up for sale as described above. That certainly isn\'t in their blurb.

interloper393
are those the specs for the one for sale in your profile? I feel I may be swinging in your favour... I just had a chat with a lad up here who\'s got one and he\'s saying an enthusiast\'s car will always be the better buy compared to an unknown import.

from mr2oc.co.uk, they\'re now Torque of Keighley.
also from mr2oc, "just to let everyone know these guys have 3 car sales placies, 1 at the Beeches roundabout, keighley, 1 heading towards the keighley/ skipton bypass ( 4x4 place) and also 1 in crosshills on a trading estate, if you look on their website it shows all 3."

[interloper393]

yeah thats my car bud.. i`ll be putting her up for around the £10,000 mark.. iv still a few minor things id like to do to her yet... but im open to offers

[interloper393]

who were u chatting to up there then lol i know a few edinburgh way bud..

[Freddy]

I would not touch that car having been told the state the car is in.

YOu are better off looking here.

I\'m kinda sensing that, yeah. I\'ve been looking on Pistonheads for a while and I\'m seeing a wide range of prices, rebuild or no. Ideally, what should I be looking at for a private sale stock RX7?

[Kevin]

Ideally you should definately go for one with recent rebuild, make sure that the paperwork is present and that the rebuild was carried out by a reputable rotary specialist.  Such as WGT, Dragon, Hayward, Lindop, Reworx, etc.  Ideally get one thats still under warranty from the rebuilder too.  I believe Hayward offer two year warranties, which is awesome.

The overall spec is entirely upto you mate, and depends on what you want to end up with.  If ultimately your wanting to go single turbo, then i\'d look for one thats already been done, as it will save you so much in the long run.  But again if you want the unique and awesome driveability of the twin setup and are happy with that range of power with only minor mods, then you are probably better off going for a stock rebuilt one.

Whatever you go and look at, just post it up here and im sure you\'ll get some sensible and useful advice!

It wasn\'t the car i went to see this weekend, they may have put the problems right by now as it was some time ago.

I would wait and get one with a reputable rebuild if i were you.

[themightyo]

Cheers for the advice fellas. I\'ve also been looking here. Given I have a lot of spare time to fiddle with things like rear fogs, yellow side-lights etc., how easy is it to get an import through the SVA thing? I know that getting history is a problem in this case, but I\'m off to Japan for 3 weeks in April :Laugh and
I reckon I can scout things out from there.

[Kevin]

I have had very bad experiences with tradecarview, which I wont go into detail here.  But steer well clear!

There is no model report available for the RX7 therefore it\'s impossible to register one that is less than 10 years old.  But for ones 10 years and older its just a matter of an MOT.

As for the fog lights, it\'s pretty easy, I tap my rear fog into one of the reverse lights, then just wire it up to the existing loom in the centre console.  The dash is a pain in the a$$ to get apart but once done it\'s just a matter of tapping an electronic speedo convertor into the loom at the back to convert to mph.
