When was the rebuild? Does indeed seem like a bargain! Still not sure about the red ones though! Any ideas what front bumper that is? Not too good with the pre \'99 kits... :confused:

Oh, and 360bhp...think i\'d be about as likely to keep control of that at first as i would be trying to hang on to the lead of \'your boy\' when he was on a charge mate!

[gsb876]

Not sure when the rebuild was, give the guy a ring if you want???

[Gav]

Gurj,

If that car was black it would be perfect, I would buy that definately.

Its in my exact budget range, it has the nice and subtle front bumper, ported/rebuilt and low mileage.

Did you spot this on autotrader again?

Hows your car doing?

Adrian, Any joy yet mate?

Cheers

the car could always be respreayed and if you plan on any bodywork changes then you\'d incur some of that cost anyway...

Might be worth checking it out as the cost of a respray might be less than getting the mods you want on a car the right colour if you dont want to wait for the perfect car for you.

[Gav]

Yeah thats a good idea Gregor. Certainly something to consider.

To be honest the only body mods I intend are the higher rear wing (late spec rx7 I think??).

Only concern is that I\'d pay about £1k for a respray which is a grand I basically cant get back when I come to sell it.

I might go and view it so I can actually see what a red rx looks like close up.

Hi Gav,

yea the cars on Autotrader matey, also a few decent priced ones on //www.ebaymotors.co.uk , yea go have a look at it then you can get a feel for one, as i think this one will look even better in the flesh.

Does look very nice though, with the rebuild already doen will save you lots of hassle, unless rebuilt by hurleys???

[FDDreamer]

Think you can pick up the wing you are after for about £400 from Ross matey, if you are talking about the \'99 spec one?

No matey, had a day of insurance quotes a few days ago, pretty much ended with it being simply impossible. Not so bad, just means i\'ll be a better driver and get an even better car for the money next year, i\'ll be 25 with some NCD so insurance would be less, meaning for the combined budget now (factoring the car & insurance) i\'ll hopefully be able to get something special.

Also, as it\'s probably going to take 4 months+ to get one from Miguel, i could even order it before i\'m 25 so it\'ll arrive just in time! Trying hard to look on the bright side...

[FDDreamer]

Found a lurvely puple/flip fella for you Gav:

1992
54000 miles
Rebuild 6000 miles ago
Beautiful kit (no idea which one?)
Spectacular paint
G-Reddy gauges for turbo,oil & water

£10550

It\'s an old model but looks gorgeous, 54000 miles on a 12 year old car is good, plus the rebuild has already been carried out, and only recently! Wheels aren\'t to my taste (it\'s not a saab, after all) but looks good otherwise. No engine mods to speak of, but that might well be a good thing?

very nice, just the alloys need changing or painting to gold???

Hi all,

Been reading through this whole thread. Thanks very much it has a lot of useful info. I guess in the same situation as FDreamer. I have a few months to go before i can order my FD. I made a deal with the miss\'s to save a couple of grand before getting some cash out of the mortgage.

Do you guys reckon ill be ok to get a sorted RX for 10 grand? Standard engine for insurance purposes??

I came along to JAE and that made my mind up for me as far as the Rex is concerned. Amazing cars.

Gotta Have one soon.

[Gav]

Hey adrian,

That flip one is a beaut! That rear wing looks the business as well. Hertfordshires a bit of a trek for me so it would have to be a weekend visit.

1992 is a bit old, but as its already been rebuilt recently it saves a lot of hassle and hopefully future expense!

Is that a carbon fibre bonnet? Not sure if Im too keen on that  :confused:  They make cars look like the old escorts and fiestas where every panel is a different colour

Good spot tho mate, I\'ll let you know if I get chance to go and have a look at it.

In fact Im going to the Leeds car auction one day this week, so have to see whether theres any nice RX7\'s up there. I\'ll keep you guys informed.

Cheers
Gav

[Gav]

Oh, and hi Stu, Im pretty new here too.

As youve prob seen so far, these guys are full of knowledge, which is exactly what I need to find the perfect RX7.

Cheers
Gav
