Hello ( didnt kno where else to put it )

[DSNorth]

fantastic typo in my 1st post

Well, My Honda S2000 goes up for sale tomorrow afternoon, after i have finished removing all the aftermarket junk\'s.

And i have a very keen eye on an amazing conition k reg 93 in black.

Immaculate history, everything I ( my mate who knows his rotary ) wants to see has been done and done well by a known name.

A few friends of mine have had RX7\'s in the past and they have always held a special place in my heart, although ive always put of buying one as it is a lot of car and I ( was ) quite young.

Over the last few years ive been slowly building up the car ive been driving, and combfortable handling, so I think the time is right, and I wont die before I get home.

Im 24 by the way, Male. UK Based.

So really just on here to sift through the info, and find out what I can vefore I go and take a look at her next week.

Im sure there is a wealth of info on the site, so ill have a good read through before asking any direct questions.

But any information would be great, thinks to look out for, where do the bad noises and bumps come from.

Its just had a full rebuild, and I know a spanner at the comany that did it, this is actually how I came about the purchase, and he was amazed at how well it had been looked after.

But still, I know virtually nothing about how these things work.

So anyway, Hi :lol: Im sure you will be hearing from me soon

Just came across this vid, This to me is my ideal RX7, in black, im a big fan of JDM

any pics or spec of this car you have your eye on?

I have only owned it a month and spent more than £1000 on it already!!  The first thing I did was book it in with well known RX7 Rotary  Specialist \'Super 7 Autos\' and spent £600 on a service, and getting all  minor problems fixed including a leaking fuel rail, which involved  taking off the rats nest and replacing a lot of the vac hoses etc. New  MOT etc. They also commented on the excellent condition of the car, no  rust etc. It has only had one owner since import apart from me and the  previous owner was an enthusiast, always changed the oil etc every 3000  miles and always garaged. This is a VERY good example. (I spent months  looking before deciding on this one!)
 
The engine was rebuilt by RX Heaven just 13,000 miles ago! (loads of  receipts) The engine starts every time from hot or very cold! I have  driven it quite a bit since owning it and I am amazed at how well it  handles compared to my Supra, and how quick it is! It is quicker than  standard as the following upgrades have been added:
 
Engine:
 
 
Recent compression test with low 8\'s
 
Magnecor 10mm ignition leads
 
PWR aluminium radiator
 
Walbro high-flow fuel pump
 
FSE fuel pressure regulator
 
Nur Spec R Exhaust and unsilenced decat pipe (Racing Beat Exhaust shown,  I only put the Nur Spec on last week which has a much bigger Jap tail  pipe)
 
HKS hard intercooler pipes
 
Lightweight underdrive pulleys
 
Aircon and airpump removed
 
Battery relocated to boot
 
K&N panel filter
 
Apexi ecu and commander mapped by RE:WORX
 
Suspension:
 
Fully polybushed including the steering rack
 
Tein Coilovers
 
 
Interior:
 
Momo commando steering wheel
 
Re Amemiya steering cowl boost gauge
 
Black leather seats, rear seats and roof lining
 
3 x Auto Gauges, Oil pressure, Oil temp, Water Temp.
 
Exterior:
 
Re Amemiya door mirrors
 
Mazda Speed side skirts and rear spats
 
Tinted windows
 
Smoked lights all round
 
HID headlights
 
Racing Beat split rim alloys with Avon ZZ3 tyres 235/40 F and 255/40 R  17\'s
 
Weight:
 
1250kg (standard weight 1280kg)
 
Power:
 
Dyno\'d at RE:WORX 325.5bhp at the flywheel (269.4bhp at the wheels) at  0.8 bar.
 
I think it has more bhp than this now, as since then I have changed the  exhaust and it has been serviced.
 
It has lots of service history dating back since it arrived in the UK,  it also has a mileage certificate and import details, it\'s a very  genuine car! Tax and 12 months MOT, just had its 3000 miles oil change,  engine has 70,000 + miles left until rebuild, so nothing at all to worry  about!

ah yeh, i know which one that is, shes a girl thats a member on fduk, shes sellingit because she split from her fella she said, if you pop onto there and search for a girl named nell shes got a thread on the car so you should be able to get most of your info on there

[DSNorth]

there you go, you will need to register for the site before you are able to see anything but its a good place for information and banter

[DSNorth]

DSNorth, you do not have permission to access this  page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Guess im waiting for auth or something

[turbotoaster]

well if you have registered for the site then probably just waiting on matt to auth you, cant remember how it works as it was a while ago i signed up

[L18M]

she is on here also

[DSNorth]

Its always good when you can get on the forum, and see what the cars been up to, If you buying a car and there is a thread from a week ago " help my engine is dead what should I do " with the first reply being " sell it " lol you might be a little wary.

But hopefully thats not the case

It certinally looks like it has been well looked after.

Just waiting for the S to sell now

[turbotoaster]

how come your getting rid of the s2k anyway, i always saw it as the rx7s N/A brother, just fancy the same handling setup but with turbo power?

[DSNorth]

Well, ive been thinking about welling it since last year, But put it off as no one wants to buy an S in the winter,

Now is comming up to the perfect time to sell it, Suns been out a bit, summers comming and people have had the roofs off.

Ive had a lot of fun with the S, it is an amazing car, but Ive had it for 2 years now, so its time for a change.

Ive always had a soft spot for the RX7, and its on my list of cars to own

[DSNorth]

Just realised ive been watching arious vids and read countless webpages for the last 3 hours.

At least I now know how the engine works, but I warn you guys, ive got a load of questions.

The way the rotary works look so unnatural to me, Guess its juts not how im used to seeing an engine run, Bet there nice and easy to work on though.

Might head down to a scrap yard and see if i cant pull a wrecked one out to stick in the garage and pull to peices.

Only information I have not been able to find so far is the differences between the models " RB, R1, R2, RS, S ", A post im missing somewhere ?

Also the as above im looking at a 93 K reg, whats the difference between the various models of the 3rd gen, Have they improved with age, or id they peak like the S2000 in 02 ( in my opinion )

All info appreciated, sorry for my catastrophic(speeling wut?) lack of knowlege.

Bed time for me, ready for a hard day of RX7 revision.. cough.. I mean work tomorrow.

[DSNorth]
