Quote from: papercutout;760958Good work that man!

While we\'re on the badge note - does anyone know if the boot badges can be removed easily, or are there some holes left? Just thinking about having it cleaner...

Not sure on this but I \'believe\' theres holes.

Coupe or Cab? If Coupe, just pull back your interior carpeting that unclips around the spare wheel and have a look on the interior panel, should see whether it\'s pinned on or not, but they\'ve been using pin-holed bages for donkeys years now so I\'m going to assume yes?

I\'m going to go with this.

Without the badge

And I also took a photo of the underneath to show the condition it is in

And also the RX7 with my MX5 :driving

Wow, I wish mine looked like that underneath.

Lacey · May 08, 2011, 08:51:52 PM

Wow indeed! Mint!

cribbohx · May 08, 2011, 09:21:00 PM

does anybody know...? can you get access to the rear glass of the front indicator and main beam/flash lights. They are a bit mottled...I suspect a little grime after a few years of condensation. Would like to "refresh" them...

papercutout · May 08, 2011, 10:50:05 PM

Yes. 4 screws to remove the headlight body, then obviously the plug. Pulling the glass off is tricky -there\'re some metal bent tabs. Also might be glued. Make sure you seal them up nicely when you\'ve cleaned it out.

That is one clean underneath, good luck with lenses!

haywes · May 14, 2011, 04:59:19 PM

looks mint, brilliant find for a good price!

grinder · May 15, 2011, 07:27:29 PM

OMG thats in good nick - i hope you have it insured for the best part of Â£3000+ ??

Thats in superb condition and you wont find another like it

Very nice car though

cribbohx · May 17, 2011, 05:31:15 PM

Have just cleaned the rx7 and buffed it up and it looks very nice.
Thanks for the interest it is in lovely condition and I have insured it for Â£3000 as that is at least what it is worth in my opinion.

B.Martin · May 17, 2011, 05:59:33 PM

Your certainly a lucky boy! Looks really good mate even the tailpipes polish up well, great stuff. So how long before the modifying bug gets you?

cribbohx · May 17, 2011, 06:35:01 PM

I am going to try and keep it as standard as possible as standard fc\'s are rare these days. Might put a k&n air filter on it when I give its next service.

B.Martin · May 17, 2011, 07:07:51 PM

Fair play to you mate, I was told that you can have an extra rotor put on the n/a 13b. I\'m sure it was during a conversation with a guy at WGT. So if you ever get bored you know what to do...

cribbohx · May 17, 2011, 09:41:05 PM

If the rx7 was not as standard and perfect condition I would modify it quite a bit but it is so I will keep the modding to my mx5
