Any one has an idea what is up with my FD

That sounds like a lot of money for the work.

Hi  

It was a very expensive part - vac unit was £415 plus vat

I am sure a second hand would have been half the price but I wanted the car on the road asap.

Dave at Rotechnics offered to repair the vacum pack ( it would have been a lot cheaper ) but the car would have been in the garage for 2 days and driving on M4 between London and Reading costs a bomb in petrol...
I decided to go for the new part.

I have spent so much on the car already...clutch, breaks, some paint work ( I keep on scratching my front lip - it cost around £100 to repair using "chips away"

Regards,

GOOD GOD

do all FD owners have a money tree aswell ??

I think running 911 turbo worsk out cheaper then RX7.  My mate has one on a k reg.  That car never breaks down.  All he spents on is were and tear parts and service.  His car expenses have been 4 the past 2 years less then mine..

At least the car is ok now, maybe a new part gives you more peace of mind too.

BTW, what is a vacuum pack? I know there is a vacuum chamber but never heard of a vacuum pack.

Hi

The car is perfect at the moment.  I have on my receipt " removed pleenium chamber, removed and and replaced vacum pack"

It was the very firs time I saw the part, never new it existed,  Apparantly on the older RX7s ( mine is on a 96 plate jap import) ther used to be lots of hoses and pipes all connected together, that was replaced by this box the size of a car stereo "face off"
That is all I know on the subject..
