Just give her a clean, will polish later when it\'s not so frickin hot!! Next door the land lords got his old school Datsun 120Y, it\'s looks like we\'ve got a retro J-tin thing going on! Pretty cool though, can\'t beat retro jap cars can you. I\'ll do some more pic whoring later at a nice location after she\'s been treated to a polish.

Apologies in advance for the cloudless blue sky ;)

Took some pics earlier hopefully this will be it now until I actually do something to the car. Fitted my rad cap, oil cap and new airfilter today. Obviously gave it a polish as well. Down side is I\'ve managed to loose a FTP lens on the drivers side, if anyone has a spare one in good condition please let me know. Paintwork has come up okay on most parts, can even get a reflection on the bonnet!

As always comments appreciated.

hows the clutch feeling? reckon you\'ll get many more miles out before you get it changed?

Took it all out yesterday (headunit) and all the wires are cut, so I\'ve got no idea what i\'m doing with wires! Been quoted £40 to sort and fit a new one including adapters etc, seems okay price for Cyprus! As far as clutch goes that seems okay too as long as I make sure it\'s fully pressed in when changing gear, not had it slip yet at redline touch wood. I\'ll be honest though I\'ve not hit redline in 4th or 5th yet, understandably considering the speed I\'d have to be doing...
I went on motor way other day and was @ 120mph in 4th still 1.5k odd to go before the buzzer without even realising it, she gains speed quickly for such a big car I was just stretching her legs and glanced at the speedo like \'sheet, better slow down!\' All my previous cars have been really pushing it @ that kind of speed!

Buzzer is at like 7k rpm, knightsports chip has reduced my redline to 9k lol buzzer is a good shift light though as thats where the OEM turbo runs out of puff, car isn\'t very heavy though, also, does your ABS work?

Car is heavy when compared to my last 2 106 GTI\'s lol. I think abs works, braking seems fine and I don\'t think I actually have a limiter so just change at buzzer to be sure.

Meh, the RX7 is 200kg heavier, but with about twice the power as stock from a smaller engine :D

B.Martin

More than 200k isn\'t it? But either way it\'s much more fun and 100x cooler :cool

Don\'t know, was on the car yesterday when I went out photo taking. Got home and it was gone :(

Lacey

Well done :p I have a spare pair but the condition is awful, they need rubbing down and re-lacquering quite badly. That, and they only have one intact screw hole on each of them.

Gutted, the 2 on mine were immaculate :(

I\'m considering taking the second one out until I can get a new one, least it will look simetrical then!!
