1st Time RX7 Buyer needs advice

[petemillis]

Car 2 concerns me - the steering wheel is upside down.

May just have steering lock on from being parked lol!

But if any of u guys are up in the durham area, which is where one of the cars is, i would appreciate it if maybe we could arrange to meet and go look at the car (obviously dont mind in handing over a few notes to you for your services) as even after reading the posts on what to look for and check etc am not really sure i\'m confident enough to do it myself.

Also if anyone can give me an idea on an uprated ecu and where to take it to get it mapped would be great

I think £550 buys you an Apexi ECU
then you need mapping
You need both the radiator (for engine water coolant)
Intercooler (to reduce temp of air used in combustion - cooler air = more density = more oxgyen = bigger bang = more power
Type R cars have twin oil coolers (behind front spoiler, in front of wheels)

Blue car may look funny due to the steering lock being on and its parked on a slight kerb?

Just my two pennith worth

Pure speculation - but the blue car looks like its been jacked up on the other side.

The way the rear is sunk down, and how high the front lip is...

Plus you have two completely different wheel types on there as well...

I saw the red one in flesh yesterday at Liverpool. Must say it did well in the looks department. Although the guages in the pod seemed missing.
