Its here and Mine !

[shaunwil]

Just got home and taken some pictures of my new car ! Sorry about the dodgy quality ! God talk about rain, careful down the motorway . Its an Rx7 type R2 !









Just a couple of niggles (hopefully nothing major).The speedo still reads in km/h. The rev counter isn\'t working properly and it was juddery in traffic (but not knowing what the revs where didn\'t help). Its only done about 200miles on the new engine and is going to pip hopefully next week for its check up (and the speedo / rev counter fixing).

Cheers for all the info you guys gave me, took me so long to find good cheap quality insuarance and then just as long to find a nice rx7. At long last

Congrats mate looks good.

God, i never noticed i haven\'t got a strut brace in the engine bay, i\'ll have to add that to the list ! Drives so solid and smooth. How much does the LSD help ?

I was shocked that it tank is 65l, my fto was only 55. I\'ve done about 70 miles in it since i filled it up, but its still only being run up.

Cheers, need to do some serious miles at the weekend to bed the engine in ! :p

Is the rev counter fault a small one, or is it more major ?

[Martin]

white one! you got good bloody taste matey! I have a white one too!;)

the tacho could be a grounding problem, you can ask WGT to take the dash off and check the connections etc. have you seen it working at all??? my tacho is dodgy too but rather than find the fault I\'ll get a aftermarket tacho for it.

well done mate, i swapped from a FTO GPX recently to my 94 rx7, it was the best move ive made so far. although the NOS on the FTO was great fun......... take car of it and remember its RWD unlike the FTO.....

Looks nice matey,

Didn\'t get that from Huddersfield by any chance?

[shaunwil]

Is it a big job removing the dash to get at the rev counter ? May have a go over the weekend. It does flicker a bit and then go off, so as you said it probably isn\'t too major.

It did come from huddersfield, got it from greystone prestiege cars.

Is there a lumber / bottom back adjustment on the seat or is it set quite harsh as standard ?

Just amazed i finally own one !

[tr8theshape]

Saw it just down the road from me a couple of times, did look nice.

Can\'t help with the dash removal but mine doesn\'t have any lumbar adjustment on the seats (R1).

[tr8theshape]

Dash removal?

Not done it myself.

[shaunwil]

Cheers, just not got comfy in it yet ! I\'ll have a good look for a lever, if it exists !

[grinder]

car looks nice and clean matey

best idea is to keep it that way ( dont do a scooby si trick )

[shaunwil]

i\'ll be trying my best. I don\'t like the wheels on it, maybe i\'ll respray them gunmetal for the min, just need to find out what wheels i fancy and save up !

They are awesome cars, a quick testdrive never really gives the main picture on just how well the go and just how smooth they are. Just fantastic. Just need to do some miles in it to allow me to put my foot down, must resist the urge! must resist ! Anybody reconmend a nice run from the NW, might go up to the lakes and have a good day out !:D
