Steve Rivett has asked if I could put this up on the forums for him. So I have copied and pasted from pistonheads Advert.

Reluctantly up for sale is a full rebuilt Mazda RX7 FD3S

I am an independent rotary specialist based in Banstead, Surrey, specialising in RX7 engine rebuilds, tuning and circuit preparation. This car is owned by my son who has used it as a fun weekend and track car. He has now moved into professional race car driving and has access to a practice car 24/7.

The car was imported in August 2004 mileage  64729 km (40455 miles)
The speedometer was then converted from KM to MPH.

After a change of ownership in 2007 the car was fully stripped and resprayed inside and out changing the colour from from silver to metallic red , this includes the all the door shuts, engine bay, etc.

The owner brought the car to me for an engine rebuild after a water seal failure (mileage 73755). I completely stripped and rebuilt the engine using a mix of Mazda and Atkins Rotary parts. I carried out an upgrade called street porting, this involves the enlargement of the inlet and exhaust ports to increase the airflow and turbo spool.

The standard turbo system runs in a sequential format with the second turbo following the first using a complex solenoid system known as the \'rats nest\'.  This was converted to run non-sequentially so that the turbos run in parallel like a single turbo. This conversion increases reliability and involves the removal of certain solenoids and actuators in the turbo manifold, the wastegate was also ported to prevent boost creep.
A large front mounted intercooler and uprated alloy radiator was fitted.
Also fitted a stand alone engine management system called an Apexi Power FC , This programmable ecu replaces the original, and was then mapped to provide the correct fueling for the modified engine.

After 3 months the owner lost his job and needed to sell the car. As I knew the history of the car, this was an ideal purchase for my son.

After using the car for 9 months further modifications were carried out.
One of the turbos was starting to smoke, so the turbo pack was removed and both turbo\'s sent to Universal Turbos for reconditioning.
A full custom stainless steel exhaust system was constructed to help turbo spool up but quiet enough to meet the noise limits at all UK tracks.
The fuel system was uprated with cleaned and flow tested injectors, a Bosch 044 fuel pump and adjustable fuel pressure regulator.
Brakes uprated with grooved discs, Axxis/PBR Ceramic pads and braided hoses.
The next focus was on the handling and drive train, the suspension arms are all fitted with PowerFlex bushes and Tein Flex Coil-overs fitted to stiffen up the suspension. Uprated anti-roll bar brackets and drop-links are fitted to keep body roll to a minimum.
Dragon Performance Gearbox ans Diff braces are fitted to prevent wheel hop and axle tramp.

As the car was being used frequently on track, a Custom Cages Club Roll Cage was welded in, with custom flush door cards to allow clearance for the door intrusion bar. The cage is well fitted and covered in roll cage padding.

During hard track driving the uprated front mounted intercooler restricts the airflow to the radiator, so a custom V-mount intercooler/radiator set-up was constructed. This provides cool air to both intercooler and radiator and has cured the overheating issues even during the hottest track days. A carbon fibre vented bonnet is fitted to allow the hot air to flow out for the engine bay.

Ferodo DS3000 Race pads were also fitted to prevent brake fade.

I offer a 12 month warranty with my rebuilt engines and I will offer this to the buyer if the car is sold at the asking price.
