Another n00b to the site pics of my car and some questions :D

[Dave99uk]

D2BBA it is the Fast and Modified Rx7 they gave away man lol

Seats in it just now are Rage buckets red and black, but their to big for the car so i would like standard seats back in to re trim in leather.

Insurance is on my mums name as me named driver and yes its a couple of grand :S but its worth it when the my baby turns every head on the streets lol.

Not sure what cause it to go its a pretty new engine from mazda or so I was told :S im thinking maybe over boost (I dont have boost gauge yet), or my upgraded ECU i was told was only gd for cars in japan running on High octane petrol and not the best choice of ECU for over here :S Pips gonna strip it and get back to me on the details.

[Alex T]

was it you that won it? or prev owner?

Is it running a Re-am ecu currently? Redom racing/re-amemiya?

Aha, thought it might have been!

I was up in Edinburgh with the club a couple of years ago when they gave it away.  I sent enough texts to try and win, but obviously no luck!  Shame as two RX\'s would have looked cracking on the drive!

Welcome to the club! Saw your car at WGT when I was there yesterday.

Colour looked nice in the sun!

[Dave99uk]

ye looked **** at WGT tho lol cause garage i was at previous left it in some state. cars filthy and had front bumper off ;S. Think if i ask pip hell give it a quick hose down so paint doesnt get damaged? if its sitting there for months

[M@r]{]

Nice car mate!!  And welcome

And at 18? - good work.  You must be paying the cost of a rebuild for insurance for the year!!!

[Rixio]

18 years...mums insurance...no rwd experience...fd + winter...sideways action...good luck...& thanks alot for bumping our insurance policies sky high :Thumbs-up

Oh and welcome to the club

P.S - Nice colour BTW

[CraigWWW]

Hey Dave

Welcome to the club...:3gears-lh

Hope to see you around Hamilton/Glasgow after your rebuild.

I pick mine up on Sunday from WGT and cant wait...500bhp here we come!

Why dont you check out //www.clanjapan.freeforums.org - Scottish Jap Club...theres about 7 RX7s around here and some of the owners know a great deal about them!

[Dave99uk]

jealous rixio? lol dont assume im gonan crash and put "your" insurance up, Im not an idiot i know how to correct back end if it kicks out, and I doubt id be taking my rex out in snow anyway.

Hey craig 500bhp? nice man what was it in getting done?

[Rixio]

Not in the slightest mate...Iv been driving FD\'s for near on 5 years now and im 22 but i had experience to begin with and have always been under my own insurance policy & not my mums...

Its not a case of being an idiot but yes you are an idiot of sorts to be driving a car like this under your mums policy...tell us what 300hp rwd cars have you actually owned or driven daily?

Its inevitable...we get the same thing each winter...kid buys car...kid thinks he can drive car...kid doesnt actually know how to drive car...kids smashes car...kid then cries about it...

Its not just young drivers (dont get me wrong, even experienced drivers can smash their cars,) but thats why recently alot of us younger have had trouble genuinely insuring our cars...

Good luck with the car and i really do hope you dont smash it as per the norm every winter...and also be prepared for a hefty bill from good ol Pip

[RobbieRX-7]

That bill\'s gonna be over £4000. Do you know that you can\'t build a ncb under your moms name? You\'ve gotta go under your own name sooner or later and having nill ncb is gonna be a killer.

[interloper393]

Hey hey welcome bud, another rex in Scotland lol.. at least Glasgow`s only a 20 min drive fae me ..hope al goes well with your new toy, 18 n owning a rex, lucky man.. just be careful bud, they do like to kick lol..

And why r u having a go Rixio? its up to him how he goes about insuring his car, not u, and i`l think u`l find most young drivers insure on there parents policy for the first few years, a few no claims discount does feck all when your young so it makes no difference.

[Eddie]

bumped into Dave and his Dad at WGT and they are really nice guys, obviously love the car as they traveled to pip with it on a trailer over 200 miles to get it checked out, Dave really fell in love with the car like we all did with our own rx\'s and found he could get one using what ever means at his disposal.

If any of us had a chance to own a RX at Daves age (which for me is a long time ago) then we would had used our mums insurance as well, ok no NCB but when the RX bug bites you have to have one.

But Dave do take care they do tend to bite as others have advised, had mine facing the wrong way a couple of times in the past, treat her with respect and you will have many a winter with her, mine was a daily drive for over 2 years come rain or shine, snow or ice and loved every min of it.

Welcome to the club once again, let us know how it goes wiht the rebuild.

[Rixio]

Yeh they might insure under their parents policy but not for a 300hp sports car...

Im just giving cold hard facts...its drivers like dave that cause the rest of us to pay stupidly high premiums when they end up smashing "their mums car"...its a simple fact, if you dont like it, tough

[Eddie]

I really think Dave knows what he has got into and does not need it spelling out on his introduction thread.

I could have said the same about you, young driver like rixio is why I pay more, but I dont as its your choice now here is a fact, you are young and still more at risk than me 22, 18 you and Dave are high risk, you may well be far better at driving RWD cars than me but statistics show you and Dave are more at risk of crashing

Believe me when I say its not the fact he has 300bhp car that up\'s or policies its just young drivers  in any car including you RIxio.
Not saying young drivers are dodgy or anything, as an advanced driving instructor i teach them and others how to drive, its just experience and as you know each of us have differn\'t experiences.

anyway enough from me us old ones need our sleep not like you young uns who can go all night:)
