Thanks Bern,

Great looking car but I managed to resist the lets modify it route, I was offered a big power lump  for nothing but resisted and swore that as the car has never been welded in its life that I wouldn\'t so much a drill a hole in it to keep it stock (ish),

The only mods are the wheels and the front struts are now coil over so the car sits right,

I view this car as a Mazda heritage car that could be put back to bone stock at the drop of a hat apart from the color  that is,

Real shame I can\'t get it out to your Sevenstock meet, now where\'s those lottery tickets :Giggle

Like the front spilter Bern. Gives it a really sporty look
Tried to get my friend Jo to look for one and put it on her RX4 but she wasn\'t having it.

I thought i was going to see it with the rx8 rim\'s

I thought i was going to see it with the rx8 rim\'s

Here\'s why,

Turned out an Australian mate who used to live here and is now in Aus and works with a guy with an RX-4 that\'s on 18\'s I found out it\'s not really practical, for one thing the steering is restricted to just about nothing!,

As many know, this car is no trailer queen and as I wanted the car practical, so the 18\'s I had already brought went out the window in favor of being able to romp around properly with my Toy :cheers,  

BTW, you have put your from New Hope, if your really outside the U/K we will convert you to an Overseas Guest which gives you more site access,

Hey Clive, that\'s Juni\'s RX4 the blue one, he\'s got a shop here at Baldwin park, California. His company JRX is the only company that makes the RX4 Carbon Fiber hood. His car is actually the reason why i\'m doing my project. He doesn\'t know it yet that I have an RX4 that I\'m working on. When I\'m done with my project I will drive my car to his shop so I can order a carbon fiber hood, he, he ,he. I can\'t wait to see the look on his face, he\'s a pretty cool guy, very nice and down to earth person. He is full of information on rotaries, always eager to help out. Like the color on your car too. Parts for the RX4 are hard to find, I was just lucky that I found this one in good shape, no body rust what so ever. Hey, if you guys are looking for a front spolier like Juni\'s, there is a guy here in Southern California by Ventura, that has a warehouse of spoilers from the 70\'s. He charges $100-$125 dollars for each, you guys just have to pay for shipping. If you guys want just let me know and I\'ll post his phone number. Keep up the good work on that RX4!!!:cheers

How much do the rx4 carbon fiber hoods go for? Sure one would loom nice one my rx4 once it is rebuilt.

Car is looking as good as ever Clive. I have a windshield, sadly it is going in my car so no help. Have decided on a colour change as I couldn\'t find the right grey mettalic I wanted. Might not be to everyones taste but it\'s my car and I think it will look good. I will tell you next time I ring so as no one steals my idea.

Here is a picture of Charlie, Clive\'s 11 month old grandson taken in the RX-4 at Rotorstock 7,  starting to get a taste for the Rotary engine - can never start to early :3gears-rh
