I believe that 26 RX7 FD sold  in france officially (between 1992 and 1995)

people looks my car but often do not know,  I hears "it\'s a corvette I believe", "oh a pontiac"  
I crossed only two Rx7 (FD and FC) in my life on the road !

I take care of my baby, it has 148000 kilometers with the engine of origin and that functions well


many French Rx7 users are gathered on this forum : http://rx7.free.fr/forum/

To be honest, I would send it straight back, they\'ve only gone and put the steering wheel on the wrong side  :evillaugh

Welcome to MRC .
Nice car it looks like .....

you have lots planned for it ... must have a huge wallet ... with lots of Euro\'s

[Brett Single]

hi lionel
very smart rx7 and mods, you have some nice cars over there

[JapanSpirit]

I am not pressed, that will take time that it is necessary (a few years) but I know already what I want.


I will start by making reliable the car first  
Today, i received new parts from mazda to replace tired parts (Hoses, thermostat, rubber, ...) and I must change my clutch soon

It is an informal meet, the Ring is open to the public only on certain days throughout the year, this particular weekend being one of them. We are leaving via Euro tunnel Friday midday and have booked a Hotel in Gerolstein for Friday night and Saturday night. The Ring charges 11euros per lap, the track takes approximatly 10 minutes to drive around, it is considered to be the most demanding circuit in the world. There are a number of drivers who have driven this track many times and are quite happy to offer passenger rides.
It would be great if some of our European rotaries were to attend.

RX7 only or Rx8 included ?
you will be numerous ? :3gears-rh
