New girl to the forum :-)

[Nell]

Hi all

I am new to this forum, and to RX-7\'s.  I have owned 7 Supra\'s up until now (in a short space of time!)  My last which I still have (goes on Sat )  is pictured below, a GZ TT BPU+ Supra Aero top, which is super rare and took me ages to find, I bought it stock and modified/tuned it myself, unfortunately I have to sell it, as I need the money (I got 10k for it)  



This pic I took above, is on the front of the 2010 mkivsupra owners club calandar too :Tongue1

So I will be very very sad to see her drive away on Saturday (I\'m dreading it lol)  Then I go on (hopefully) to buy an RX7, from a member on here (Frankie) otherwise I have a couple others lined up to view on the weekend.  Insurance works out a lot cheaper on the RX7 too which is good, however I\'ve heard fuel consumption is terrible

I have looked around for my local RX specialist, which is appears to be \'Super 7\', Worthing way, any good?

I have loads of questions, but I\'ll do some searching before I start posting threads you\'ve seen 50 times before  One question however, is I want some C-West or Re-Amemiya headlights to replace the stock headlights, I\'ve had a quick look on Google, and they\'re coming up at over 1000$!  Is there a trader that makes good replicas or something, or is it a case of sitting on the Parts For Sale section 24/7 for a second hand pair

I hope to come to some local meets in the future and meet some of you

Hey, Nell, welcome to the club proper. I think I complimented your rather lovely Aerotop Supra before when you did your first thread on here, must be a blow to see that beauty go. Still, never mind, once you get into an FD you\'ll forget all about boat-like Supra handling ...

I\'d give a massive thumbs-up to Super 7, Jason has helped me out of so many problems with my Rex I\'ve lost count! They\'re great guys and really know their stuff. It may be worth asking J there about getting a Rex, it\'s not unknown for him to deal a few cars himself and they\'re usually pretty top quality. He sourced the shell on mine for me when I wrote the last one off.

As to lights, Laeeq makes some R-Magic and Amemiya replicas, but he doesn\'t post on here often nowadays, you may need to search him out on FD:UK. Failing that, they come up from time to time, generally about 500 quid or so secondhand.

Ask away, there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers. Like this one :3Confused

frankies car is top notch - wud love to have gone for it myself but had to put rx7s for bit whilst sort rest of life out

re-a lights done to death now - tbh ur best off sticking with pop ups

Super7 have a good reputation, so you would be in safe hands :yes

Another FD headlamp alternative would be the knightsports conversion

Welcome to MRC Nell :-)

Hi!!
Yes, Knightsports are the best option for lights!! Still look sleek when down too! :3gears-rh
 
Oh and I\'d definately recommend a later car if you can find one, I had a couple of earlier ones, got a 1999 one and much nicer!

Thanks for the reply Nik, I will certainly contact Super 7 shortly for some mods I\'d like done

I\'ll see if I can contact this Laeeq, unfortunately I cannot sign up on FDUK at the moment, I have tried loads of times, but it doesn\'t seem to work :confused:

Done to death lol, well that doesn\'t bother me as an RX7 isn\'t exactly a common car  Just think it suits the car a bit better than the pop-ups IMO.

Hmm not keen on that, although definitely an improvement on stock.  I\'d love a 1999 RX, however I only sold my top spec Supra to free up some cash, so it would defeat the object of selling if I bought an expensive rex

Hi Nell welcome to the forum, im also new myself. I have to say the members on here are very helpful, if your looking for some aftermarket lights it may be worth talking to L18M on here as he is very helpful on parts from japan . Thats a lovely supra, does sit very nice on those rims. Good luck in finding your rex

[Clarky]

Welome to the club Nell, Yes Super 7 is great, nice to have another member in East Sussex.
So much info in this club, all here to give help and advise!

[Big Al]

Hi Nell, welcome to the club.
 New to the car,  I have asked questions which are definately \'newbie ones\'  and have had many informative and useful replies.  Members on here really do try and help. I\'m sure you will enjoy your rex when you find one.

[karl_tate]

your supra looks very nice and the pics are cool as well. im sure the rex will be in safe hands and not get egay tat stuck on hahaha.

just make sure you get yourself a decent one, i know, every one says that, but a poor example is just going to give you soooo many headaches with problems not to mention costs......

what kind of price is the insurance coming out at??

c-west light are sweet, but i would say that :rollin

Hi Nell,

Welcome to MRC - we need more girls! :wave

Nice photos - both the car and the location are stunning. Where was the first pic taken?
