Hello,

Just joined today, this is my baby, had her for a month now. Its my first Rx but i can safely say i am hooked to a life of frequent visits to the petrol station!!

[Dan Norton]

Nice car dude....love those mirrors.


I just cant wait for mine to arrive now.


Dan!!

Hi there mate welcome

We are all at the petrol station most days!!

If its been here a month you should think about getting some UK plates on it

Cheers guys,

Its the best picture i have of it, since i got it i have been driving so no time to take pictures of it. I did put rediculiously small plates on it and got pulled by the coppers the other day so its standard reg plates for me this week!!

How long do you have to wait on yours dan? I had to wait almost three months..

[Dan Norton]

Mine should be here at the end of jan....so fingers crossed only have to wait 2 months.

Is the car what you expected i.e. performance wise?

Cheers,

Dan!!

At least you will miss the worst of winter, which is a good thing, the back end likes to come round and join you at the front if you put to much power down, i haven\'t spun it but i have had it powersliding (didn\'t mean it but it looked like i did!)

Having never even driven one before i ordered it i didn\'t really know what to expect. But it is awesome, i am converted! Im sure you won\'t be dissapointed!!

I used to be well in to my lancia delta\'s. I was going to buy an intergrale evo1 but my brother in law persuaded me to get an rx (didn\'t take much!!)

With the mods its supposed to have 280bhp but i will reserve judgement until i get it on the rr i\'m booked for in february.

Is this your first rx7?

[Dan Norton]

Yea ,its my first rx7 and i cant wait.

I\'ve wanted one ever since i first saw one when i was like 14 years old (i\'m 24 now), and finally i\'m gonna own one.

Cant wait to go to some shows and meets in it next year and meet some other club members.

See you at some meets in 04 !


Dan!!

[Donato]

Yeah, enjoy it when you get it!

Don\'t want to sound preachy, but do treat it with respect until you get used to it as the back end really does like to step out, i had mine in third gear doing about 50mph and floored it and the back wheels just started spinning.

The guys that imported mine were telling me that they sold one to a guy who crashed his an hour and a half after picking it up and he was going in a straight line and floored it, he ended up in the central reservation.

thats the problem with scotland, the roads are always wet!!!

Cheers for now!

[davefrith]

Hey Donato what mods you got mate ?

[Donato]

Alright dave,

Hi Donato.

Will be nice to see another FDon the streets of Glasgow.. I think I saw about 3 before I got mine.... I met Robertio the day I got mine... Once the following day and now we have to arrange to drive past each other. I\'m the black FD on SSR.
