Sheffield Garages

[Flateric]

Hi All,

I\'ve just bought an RX7 and thought i\'d find out if anyone could recommend a garage for work / servicing on it.

Nothing wrong yet but I think i\'d  best know for future reference.

Cheers

WGT in Northwich , only specialist in the north , speak to Pip , Its a bit of a drive but its a great excuse for driving over the Snake pass


you could probably entrust minor works to a local garage but if your any good with your hands do it yourself , definatley learn how to change plugs and oil yourself , needs doing every 3000 miles and it can be pricey to get a garage to do it everytime , the plugs are a bit of a pain untill you get used to it but after that its a doddle

Give me a shout if you need a hand , be nice to see another FD round these parts

[Flateric]

Thanks very much for the info.

I may have to take you up on that offer at some point.

yay, a local rex!

where abouts in Barnsley are you? and what colour did you go for? i\'ll have to keep an eye out for you now

so far with mine i\'ve only had minor things done (new disks/pads) so i got those done at the same garage i\'ve always used and trusted, but for anything engine related I plan on either using WGT in cheshire (1hr away) or Jimmy\'s in norwich (2.5hrs away).

That\'s 3 of us in Barnsley now, get set for world domination! (I\'m near Darton).

Flat Eric, best bet is WGT, he\'s a bit dear, but well worth it.  if you need someone to have a quick look over your\'s let me know, mine was well poorly when i bought it, so i have a reasonable idea what i\'m looking at under the bonnet as i\'ve spent the last 2 years fixing one thing after the other (including taking engine out and stripping it down to bare block for WGT to rebuild).

Cheers

Looks like Barnsley is becoming a hot spot for em. I\'m in Hoyland and i\'ve gone for a silver one.

So there are more RX7s around these parts than I thought From Chesterfield here but have yet to buy one. Do you guys ever have meets roundabouts Sheffield?

[jonrx7uk]

Up until yesterday i didnt know there were any other RXs in Barnsley, thought i had the whole town to myself....!

Lol Well if anyone\'s up for a meet then give us a shout...just don\'t go too quickly, my poor car isn\'t very fast

Flat eric ,

I need to see a pic of your car , it looks like you might have the same kit as mine ( mazdaspeed 15th ) well at least the front nose , please tell me I\'m wrong as my cars also silver and as far as I know I\'m the only one in the country with this kit

If its just the front nose I can live with that as GaryS has it as well but I\'m the only on with the funder extensions and skirts

[Flateric]

Unfortunately I don\'t know which kit it is but you can have a look at these pics and decide for yourself.

The rear spoiler is definately different.

Sorry they aren\'t the best pics in the world but it was just so bright when I was taking them.

[Tintin]

Yeah you\'ve got a mazdaspeed 15th anniversary nose , same as mine but you aint got the rest of the kit , looks like you\'ve got no side skirts at all

this is what the whole kit looks like

[Flateric]

Sorry I misread the e-mail before. No there aren\'t any skirts on it, I am going to rectify that soon though.

Your car is looking really sweet. Have you got any pics of the back?

[Tintin]

No pics of the back , the rears standard anyway , theres no rear bumper for that kit

You coming to JAE if so and you fancy camping over a few of are going down friday night I think , more drinking time
