My new Ride....

[Andy J Conroy]

Hi Guys, Just thought i\'d say Hi... I\'ve purchased a T51R rex... running 509bhp.....
 
I\'ve heard tuning these things can be a nightmare..... is 1.0 bar the max on pump fuel or am i taking too many risks getting it remapped...
 
See link for pics....  
 
I\'ve changed the rear lights to stock ones.
 
What does everyone think?

Is that being imported from japan ?
If so you will defintely have to get it mapped over here as the fuels are different ..
Just get everything checked to make sure your engine will be safe ...
Also you can go above 1 bar but it is recommended you get water injection and get it mapped with or without ( i would get without ). It helps save your engine ...
There are no risks getting it mapped if you go to a tuner who knows what they are doing.
Oh and don\'t believe the horror stories they are a load of bull.
 
Enjoy your ownership and the unique sound of the rotary .. but be warned it is like a drug

Good choice, Pip knows his stuff so car should be very safe, mapped my Purple rx7 a few years back and it ran perfectly :cheers

great car mate! i had a race with it in my FD on the way back from a Japnortheast meet!
 
up to halfway through second gear i was keeping up with it but as soon as that 51 kicked in going up to 3rd it was off!
 
that lad who had it, had it for 3 years from stock!

Love the COLOUR!!

[trevtubby]

Wow, thats had some major cash thrown at it.

How much did it set you back if you dont mind me asking?

[Wo:Deep]

Welcome to the club, mate.
Looks like a high quality modified 7.

Not my taste with the bodykit and lights.
Buit If you´ll have fun taking it to shows, alot of NFS underground and Fast and the furoius boys will give you 10of10 :driving

Have alot of fun with your 7 be proud and treat her well!
:Thumbs-up

its a very nice looking car, and alot of money has been spent, but im not a big fan of that type of paint job.

[Dr-Rotor]

Nice FD. Love the front lights. Paint is cool. Good to hear you put stock lights back in on the rear.
 
500bhp sounds good @ 14.7psi. Not even close to what this turbo can boost.
 
So why are you afraid to go over 1bar? If you have plenty of fuel and from the look of that spec sheet it has plenty of fuel. Is it because you guys have crapy fuel in the UK?
 
Re-tune it to 20psi and scare yourself. Should be around 600hp then. Its faster than your other cars because of the power to weight ratio.
 
Do you get different sized T51R\'s ?

[Nik da Greek]

Mmmm, shiney! Loving the colour-matched space saver wheel, someone\'s obviously had an almost obsessive eye to detail looking over that car. Not to my taste, but it\'s obviously been done to some pretty high standard, and you certainly won\'t be shy of a bit of attention. Thank god you ditched the rear chav-lights, though, they\'re nasty!

[Andy J Conroy]

Thanks guys for your comments.... its an  interesting car with more potential... just like i say nervous about turning it up...Its not to everyones taste.. but it is mine..... some of the mods on this are amazing.... the way it handles the power is just right....
