Sell/Break/Rebuild?????

Nik da Greek · January 12, 2009, 04:13:26 PM

Looks too good to let her die, mate. Rebuild it, not worth the effort and time to break and worth to much to let it sell as is for \'k all! Like the ejecto-seato switch on the centre console! Those are "Mazda" without the "speed" sideskirts, though, btw

Cheers Nik, Ah so they are the standard Mazda skirts.
That james bond style switch i reckon was for the Nitrous system!!

Nik da Greek · January 12, 2009, 04:20:54 PM

Yeah, Mazda optional flubbery rubbery sideskirts. Not standard, but ordered from Mazda as an extra

Quote from: ash;573965Cheers Matt, liking the acronym for PTS!! Went to PTS before ages ago with a Fiesta RST, didnt seem too bad then, but that was a ford with a CVH not a rotary!

Years ago when dave was there as a mechanic it was not to bad, luckily hw worked on my old nova.:spank

The young lad there left to set up Frankinstein motorsport near leighton buzzard a few years back and tbh that aint much better. Went past P.T.S last friday and it was not even open so not to sure if they are still there?.

I know they down sized to one unit as Jamie from Jamsport who is helping with mine brought there 4wd rolling road and a few fabricacting machines.

Just remember the old bloke tony there he was the most miserable old git on this earth, always sopke to you like a turd:2Mad

Build her a new heart, one days these beauties will start appreciating

Rebuild it while it still works.

ashc · January 12, 2009, 07:36:49 PM

another vote for an engine swap or rebuild :-)

rebuild it you cant break it!!!!!!!!!!

marcusd666 · January 13, 2009, 07:13:13 PM

I would re-build if it was mine it would be a shame to break it. looks great.

ash · January 13, 2009, 10:04:50 PM

Hi Guys.....well thanks for all your thoughts and input, but I have made a decision and the car has been sold to a forum member with a nice project in mind. I will let him tell you what it is ifn he wants but it will have a v8 in!

I needed the cash, and didnt really have immediate funds to rebuild her. If i did i would, and probably would have cursed my way through it.

It was an eventful ownership of this red beaut, but one that was very short lived...i think i managed to dive her only 6 times

I may be after a nice FC in the future, something different. Not going away just because i have not got a rotary but will be keeping an eye on that for sale section.

Thanks all.
Ash
