Talk about a slow boat from china!!! My 1992 RX7 finally turned up after doing a detour to Mars and back! It took 3 months!!:Grrr

So the drive from Bristol to Luton????  OMG!!! I love the noise this car makes! Accelerate, decelerate, accelerate, decelerte etc etc etc.  The cars obvioulsy been limited so I will need to sort that out asap:Laugh.

The spec of the car is as follows:

59000km
[FONT="]Greddy piping/Turbo
Trust /Intercoler
RE Amamiya Aluminium radiator
Blitz/EVC boost controler
Engine dumper
Master cylinder stopper
HKS RS/air filter
HKS/exhaust pipe
Coil over sus
[/FONT]

Ok, now for the part where I need help:)
Can someone either explain what/how i should set the Boost Controller.  If there is anyone in the Luton area who would be willing to come down, I promise them a nice cup of tea and a couple of samosas:Thumbs-up

I also need to wire in a fog but I have already found an excellent thread on here on how to convert a reverse light to a fog.  One question though, what should i use to tint the clear light cover to make it red?

As lots of poeple have recommeded that I fit an Apexi PFC, has anyone got one they are willing to sell to me.  I would be happy to pay in cash or samosas:Giggle

I\'m looking forward to getting it through its MOT, getting it registered and seeing what it can really do!:burnout

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

yeah my last car took 2 months due to a ruff weather lol.. soonami i think it was ?

A few coats of normal red spray paint will work m8... a power fc will set you bck about 450ish.. and have fun on the emissions for the mot :D mine went through 9 times :S lol thats with a cat lol

hang on bro didnt you have a gold scooby???

what i did was use the technical stickies for converting a reverse into a rear fog light, (pretty easy job) and i used a red LED type bulb from ebay didnt bother tinting the glass, it passed an MOT.

so lets see some pics of your new monster!

Me?? A gold scooby??? Oooooooooh noooooooo.  A white Evo IV, yes, but not a gold scooby.  Not really my cup of tea! Hopefully will Have a Evo Tommi soon aswell:InLove.

Thanks, I also found the thread on converting the reverse to a fog from the technical section and have ordered said red bulb from ebay for £4.50 incl delivery (not bad for a 70p bulb!)

I\'ll get some pics up shortly if I can.

Still looking for help/advice/member to set up my boost control as I haven\'t got the foggiest!!

D1 WTF

if you tint it red it will look cr4p as it wont be even as one side will be clear and one red.

put a red bulb in it, and just to make sure for the MOT put some red self adhesive tranparent red film over the clear section just for the MOT as soon as you get down the road take it off.

thats what my MOT man did for me, quickly stuck it on, and said i am assure it wont stay there for long, so i lol.
IF YOU DIDN\'T CARE YOU WOULDN\'T BE LOOKING

Thanks for the advice.

What i might do is spray my neighbours reverse light on his convertable BM red to see how it looks.  If it really looks cr4p, I\'ll do the sticky thing :chat

mine fog is in the middle off the back light cluster, think it was the brake light at one time

Ok, some pictures!













CAn someone tell me what this fuse box (next to the battery) is for.  Looks like a fuse is missing and the terminals have been connected together:Nono!


evo_ray

Thinking of having the wheels sprayed black!

Also, is the rubber the rubbish Jap stuff I was warned about in the wet or will it do?:3gears-rh

Ok if you have a front mount interccoler you must have an uprated ecu bud..take off the passenger footwell side panel and have a looky :)
And the tires are poo lol.. there ok in hot weather like today but in the wet you`ll most likely die a very happy death drifting about :yes

What would it look like?  There is a silver boxy thing on the left hand side of the passangers footwell.  Is that it?
