Best places to look for FD\'s?

[rotari]

Hey Everyone,

Just recently joined the forum to help in my search for a Rex!

Wondered if anyone could suggest websites or places in general to look for them? So far I\'ve found pistonheads.com but thats about it.

After a quality example, thats not been mod\'d much - not after crazy power.

Thanks!

Hi and welcome!

Best place to look for a decent Rx7 is right here. There are some great examples for sale and generally you know the history of them since their ownership by the Forum member.

Otherwise, autotrader.co.uk, ebay, findit.co.uk

Be careful of some traders as some dont know much about these cars and try and flog a bad example for the average if not higher market rate.

HTH

Yeh I\'ve noticed this :2eek
 

whats your budget?

Depends on really what I find. But anything from £5-7k. If it shows all the right signs of being cared for with no messing around (recent rebuild, few carefully selected mods, etc) then I could push over that but I think I\'m getting the hang of what a fair price is.

Hi mate and welcome.
You will probably find that you end up looking at more than a few to find the right one.
Where abouts in Lincolnshire are you???, be good to have another wankel in these parts.:Thumbsup!
And if you ever need any advice or help looking over one then give me a shout. More than happy to help out buddy.

Regards Andy:WaveBye

Thanks Andy!
 
I\'m just 10 miles North of Lincoln. Whereabouts are you?
 
Never seen a single turbo rex, might have to meet up!

Yes mate, I was at the Woodcocks pub this afternoon it was a jap meet. You will have to come to the next one.
I live in Bourne now but my dad lives in Branston, and my girlfriends family live in saxilby so we up that way alot visiting.:2Confused

Might have another local rotary owner soon! I\'m in the outskirts of lincoln itself.

I\'m on the lookout for one now. I wanna come to the woodcocks one day, but i dont think turning up in a Peugeot 207 would go down well! haha

Looks like a fine example, bit to pricey for me. Especially after that UK Spec \'99 went for £9k :2eek  
 
No compression test? Slight concerns over if remapped after cat-back?

[Newera]

You asked for the best place to buy them, which is why I responded.

The inferior UK models stopped selling in 1995, I believe. They\'ll also have been in UK winters all their lives.

Compression test requires a visit to a rotary specialist, to be done right - but can be arranged. It\'s the best condition original example you\'ll find in UK.

That was a real one off mate !!

Thats probably the cheapest 99 spec I have ever seen since being a member on this forum.
