As above complete 231 with Mot,I think its till next April , posting on behalf of a mate of mine with a garage contacted me when the car developed a misfire.

The guy did not have the money to fund parts so it has sat for a few weeks and now needs to go, tried to start the car to have a look for him but the cars now flooded.

Good straight car that\'s been looked after, not riddled with dents and has a good interior and lots of history in the cars folder as seen below.

looking around the car the only downsides seem to be that it needs an exhaust back box, plus a plastic tail pipe shroud and has a little rust on the lower of the rear arch as seen below.

Please do not contact me, contact Dhesi on 01474 359364 during work hours.
All the best Clive

such a shame the bottoms fallen out of the market on these. They are fantastic cars to drive and the interior is a nice place to be. I don\'t think I\'ll ever bother with an RX7 again.

misfiring could be anything from coils, plugs, leads, blocked cat, maf sensor etc etc. Could also be internal. Its obviously being sold at blown engine money (and bargain blown engine money at that) and if it turns out to be anything less, then its a bonus

My first thoughts were to look at the base of the coils as this is the most common fault on an RX-8

I spoke to Dhesi today and a really helpful friendly chap....if I didnt have the westfield then I would snap this up....
Info I got.
Just over a 100k
Part history.
No paperwork suggesting rebuild
Possible starter motor or coils...easy fix or could be more
Its px to clear at this money I would have in an instant but 100% focusing on my racing.
