Hello guobin, and welcome to Mrc. Good to see another local on here, fro is correct Geff is the closest to us just down at Hillsea area. Failing that you have Tim down at Rx motors not really close but a nice drive in the country. Both are good places for the Rx7 and will be in expert hands. Got any details on your car guobin colour, type year etc.  If you need any help locally there is a quiet a few Rx owners in this area know. Also what area of Soton are you in, we maybe closer than you think :D . Hth mate........cheers Leigh.

thanks fro and rotorboy65. I\'ve got a 92 FD3S in yellow!
I\'m in swaything area, anyone close me?  cos I don\'t have too much knowledge about rotary engine\'s car, so I\'d like to find somewhere to have a good check.
Thanks for your guys help.

Swaythling not far from myself about 5 mins down the M27, I\'m in Bursledon area not far from the Tesco in Hamble Lane. If you need any help or just some info I would be glad to try and advice. My neighbour has also got a yellow third gen (Nathan) so you are in good company. Trouble is poor old Nathan has blown his engine so it\'s being fixed again, shame it\'s not around tis a great looking example to look at, second after mine though :rollin . Lt me know if you need anything mate and I can point you in the right direction. Cheers Leigh.

Looks good guobin, was that a private buy or trader?. That\'s a long way to go too get a car must of been worth the mileage. Has it got any service history at all eg engine rebuild or other work done. Looking at the engine bay everything looks standard, the thing that you have ringed is the air separation tank. Alot of people change these to a metal version because the plastic one\'s tend to split under pressure etc. Keep the questions coming mate there\'s always someone on here with good advice. If you get really stuck then you can give me a call on 02380 402741, I will be in most of today and with any luck I will find sometime to work on my car today.....cheers Leigh.

guobin

yes!! you are right! my plastic one\'s tend to split under pressure! where can I get a metal version one?
The car was a private sale. the mileages on the clock is 48k km but has got no service histroy :(  . she was imported from jap last Oct.  
I think the car may need the engine rebuilt soon cos I don\'t feel the engine\'s running very happy. :evillaugh
So I want to find a RX-7 Specialists to give the car a good check at the first.
cheers

looking good :cool
I\'m t\'other side of Southampton (right next to ordnance survey).. look forward to seeing yours around (you won\'t see mine, it lives in a garage in Dorset) :)

Re:worx or rx motors will definitely be your best bet, they\'re both normally quite busy though
Cheers

:wave Hi Guobin, I live in southampton to (Sholing) When i had my RX7 RB i took it to Rotechnics. They are just south of the M4 at Reading. I went there a few times for various bits and pieces. Very helpful and reasonable. Check out their website. Iam between RX,s at the moment, iam looking to import a spirit r, as soon as the model report is sorted, and fingers crossed by all accounts various people are very close to success.  Look forward to seeing your car about, hope you enjoy it. Cheers Ken

Hi Guobin
 welcome, think all the local experts have been mentioned, will keep my eye out for you as I am only 5 min away, also Dan is local. I\'m afraid not a great deal of help with bits under the bonnet,as mine is an 1982 RX7 but ok with a spanner and general car work.
  Liegh nice to hear from you again.
