eh up! right im thinking i need to sell up and start over, no time and too many vehicles are getting me all stressed out haha. time to go back to basics.

i have had this car a while now, the fc has always been a car i had to own and now i have i really was not disappointed, engne has NEVER let me down, always starts effortlessly hot or cold, runs perfectly and goes fairly well too. the chassis is damn good. needs the front arb fitting back on but hopefully i\'ll get time to do that soon...

the car has about 10-11 months mot or so, has got lots of tax too but will need to see when its up as cant remember off hand. mileage is on 130 odd k, has had a replacement engine and recon turbo in the past but not much known about it other than its sweet as a nut. none of the rotary horror stories here, cannot stress enough how impressed i am with this engine.

so quick rundown of the spec;

open diff!!!!!! i know i know, you have no idea how much it sucks but i had to swap the slipper out in a hurry as it munched its self. needs welding, not had time, so sorry, makes me sad.

rear camber adjust thingies fitted, creak like mad but they are a thing some people like or whatever.

has exhaust. is pretty nice, full stainless type affair not too loud. big old exits. when it had diff was good sneaky skidder. win.

tomei fuel pump, pumps fuel loudly, super.

new groved sporty discs on the front and back on both sides.

new pads all round too not even :censored::censored::censored::censored: ones like, slightly posh pads. wow.

its on a set of fd rims, not the r32 ones in pics. 16x8 with good tyres.

25mm spacers up front for strut clearance

coilovers!!!! oh my yes it has those too, bc rm ones you lucky people.

passive rear steer eliminated with poly bushes.

subframe poly bushed

currently removed but might not be soon, racing beat front anti roll bar. its big n red. makes turning a joy so it does.

modified front knuckles. cut down n tig welded. gives a bit more lock but arch liners are in the way. yes it still has those, i know wtf.

the man before me did much undersealing beneath and stripped the interior inside before painting it all black. pretty ok of him as i bet it was a :censored::censored::censored::censored: job. looks alright, no show car.

sunroof removed by same bloke. he was tall. it helped, ali panel pop riveted on to block sunroof hole. not what i would have done but looks race car. no leaks.

solid engine mounts, and gearbox mount. pretty firm. nice.

harnesses for safety. be safe.

steering wheel and boss to attach said wheel, snap off. tidy.

head unit, bad kenwood speakers from the 90\'s though so never really use it.

stack water temp gauge in din panel

k sport bucket seats, good condition, no rips.

bride seatframes

abs bypassed

front and rear strut braces

koyo dual pass ali rad

rotor oil cap!!!!!!! :censored::censored::censored::censored: yeah!

monsta dump valve.....

racing brake fluid. the good blue stuff.

uprated ht leads

toad alarm/immobiliser

private plate, new one fitted to front bumper now (stick on one binned)


bad points.
registered cat c in 2006. cant find any crash damage so its been a superficial donk prob swapped out bumper or something.
paintwork and body straightness could be better. fair few little dents and scrapes around the car and the paint is pretty poor in places. been resprayed fairly badly in the past.

creaky and noisy but its stripped so suppose thats what you get.

had plenty of welding in the past, seems to be solid now.

starter motor does a thing but always works, sometimes a few flicks of the key needed to get it turning over. odd but never fails to work.



the car has been set up as a track day car by the previous owner. it was pretty sick for grip, cornered like it was on rails. i have changed a few bits and started the transition to drift car, lock n diff were top of the list but i have been so flat out recently and its not letting up, i just dont get any time to put into the rx.

£3000 takes it, located in aldershot hants.

Yes. But I need to revise the spec... I fitted a carpet and stock seats and belts. Coilovers are swapped for lowered springs n dampers as fronts had both started to leak. I\'m going to get them rebuilt and keep them for my other car.
This taken into account I will be lowering the price to £2350
If you want to give me a ring to discuss further I\'m on 07941028706
