Yep, your car is the reason I decided an RX-7 was the way to go.

The thing that scared me about Geraint was that he\'d got all these receipts for the engine and I had to tell him it had been rebuilt, he really didn\'t know what the £3k had been spent on :confused:

Certainly wasn\'t an \'in the know\' owner, but a nice guy as you say!

Is the boost gauge ok now?

Tis a very quick rex indeed!

Gurj - Cool should be able to make that so long as it isn\'t pishing down. I\'ll give you a call sun/mon and sort out a time and place to meet.

ds2000 - That is scary . Wish I had customers that coughed up with their money that easy.

Boost gauge isn\'t working but there is power going to the guage. Also exhaust temp gauge stuck at 6 but again power going to it.
Not had a proper look yet but any ideas ??

Without putting a downer on the car, get the watertemp gauge replaced ASAP.

It started beeping at me whilst I was driving the car, yet the system seemed up to the correct level and the temperature was steady, so obviously a sensor or the gauge itself is buggered

No ideas about the other two guages other than checking they have good + and -, it shouldn\'t be too hard to see

Good luck with her, she\'s definately a pretty one!

Nice looking motor mate!!!!

Your front bumper is BORDER Type 2.

your rear light cover is RE Amemiya.

the side skirts are optional mazda ones.

and the spoiler is a standard RZ one.

Oh and please get rid of that great big fog light! :p

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice car mate!

See if you can find an airfield day rather than track - lots more runoff and no tyre walls etc to hit - gives you a lot more confidence to let loose if you\'ve not done it before.

Roundabouts there are two secrets...

One is get speed down on the approach, and then balance it on the throttle, do not change speed at all, do not brake or accelerate or even back off throttle on the actual roundabout, just steer until you\'re well into the exit road.

Two, definitely don\'t change gear unless you are rev match genius, because you\'re unlikely to need 3rd in the wet on a roundabout anyway. Both times I spun my Z it was going from 1st to 2nd on a greasy roundabout. 15mph, gentle as you like, but it still span. So now if the roundabout is empty I hurtle round the whole thing at the top of 2nd (or sometimes bottom of third if it\'s a massive motorway junction type job) and if it\'s busy I crawl round at the bottom of 2nd.

Speed ramps, erm... fit go-go-gadget coilovers?

Anyway, see you at the meet (or both meets!)

Scott - Cheers for the info. I know what you mean about the fog light mate. I will be loosing a reversing light very shortly.

Zevans - Thanks dude. Taking it steady until I build up confidence but nice to get some tips. Look forward to seeing you at the meets.

Rich :cool

Hi Rich glad you got yourself sorted with what looks like a very tidy example!

Just wondered if it was your car that was in at Pip\'s on Saturday 4th Dec.  If it was they were running it when I came to collect my motor that had just been finished.  Noticed yours from the back lights.  Sounded sweet!
