LOL sadgoth, knight rider i have never been compared to, but there was this once my car got mistaken for a MR2 AW11 (first gen) :reallymad

not a lot of people know what the TII is, he said to me:

guy: nice car,
me: you know what it is?
guy: sure,
me: what is it then?
guy: yea its a MR2 first gen............................
me: ..........(big pause)...........errrr no mate, its a RX7
guy: (looking stupid now ) i see...........

but hey, i get a lot of looks from people confused with what it really is, and then tell them its a rotary engine and they are like WTF? lol:rollin :rollin :rollin

Heh, mans car.... You want a TR6 m8.   Even the fuel injection is mechanical...

Personelly i feel the current 3rd gen rx7 is the best looking car out there???

Apart from Bish\'s BUM!!!:confused:

Yeah, I love the look of a 3rd gen... I\'m terribly torn, because I want a "project" car to modify, and I don\'t know if I should start on the RX8 or get an RX7 as well and keep the RX8 stock...

BUT,... I really can\'t afford a 3rd gen as well as the RX8, and I can\'t be without somthing a little practical...  so I might have to start with a TII and mess with that if I decide that the 8 isn\'t getting modified...

Although, if I start on the 8, I won\'t want to stop... so perhaps I should just wait until the warantee is run out and see if there is a new RX7 on the horizon or not before I decide..

Comments?

Sell the 8 get the 7 for half the price and then spend the rest doing your mods???

Don\'t think I didn\'t think about that possability before handing over the cash,  but that would leave me driving somthing really mundane every day...

I had a new RX-7 before I got the RX-8, in standard form I think the RX-8 is a better car - practical too!  RX-8 is more refined, RX-7 is quite raw - which can be a good thing of course!

Either car to do up will cost a lot if you want it done right, then - will it really be a daily driver?

My plan is to keep the RX-8 and have the racecar - I have made the decision not to touch the RX-8 (apart from general maintenance of course).

A RENESIS engine with a bit of port work, proper ECU would be a VERY good thing.  But it won\'t be turbo.

Glenn, I didnt know the Motecs came under the title of general maintenance... :bandit :bandit :bandit

Well - that was the plan, all good intentions eh!  I do have an M800, but it is for the racecar of course :p

No, it\'s not really a daily driver... although it has been now for a couple of weeks as my other thing is dead at the moment,,, normally it lives in the garage and gets used for enjoyable things... visiting friends, relatives club meets and generally driving for fun...

I still have the triumph to finish, although there\'s still a few reasons why I can\'t get any work done on that at present... hopefully in a year or so it will be easier.
