Ive just paid for my first FD RX7.

Its red with RE-Amemiya 17” rims, N-reg, 23,000miles, a bodykit that is unknown to me, and mazdaspeed seats.

there is a large foam induction kit and  RE-Amemiya pipes under the bonnet, so im not 100% sure wots been done. Its bought from a German and Italian car salesman, so the Rex wasnt his best subject.

It also has an HKS turbo timer there, im not sure if it isnt connected, or just needs activating.

I have no-idea on any mods coz there is no info, so obviously done in Japan.  the cars bveen in the UK since 1998, and there are \'rotechnics\' reciepts for dervicing etc....

where is the best place to take it so i know whats been done to it.  and wot does a check up cost?

I would include some piccys but i dont know how to.

Nice one mate, nice to see another rex in Essex!

Where abouts in Essex are you? Closest specialist to me is Jimmy\'s in Norwich, heres a link to the website if you need it:

You can email pictures to me if you like and I can post them up?

interior needs a little attention in my opinion. ;)

I pick it up monday(if tescos get there fingers out and post the insurance policy).

J4P RX

As long as the policy has started, you can drive it without having the document afaik.  

If you do need to produce it, you get seven days anyway in which time you will have it.

Looks nice in the pics, I like the wide rear arches although I think theres a bit too much red with the interior and wheels in it too!

Hope you are happy with it.  1 down 1 to go...

When im in Essex, its at my parents place, near colchester.

I spend most my time in AlderSHIT with my girlfriend.  My mate has just bought MDT\'s RX from the private adds, so Essex dont know wots hit it.

MintyFresh

I need the insurance document to tax it.

Like i said, both the cars i wanted are now purchased, which isnt bad, i expected to be looking for months.

Red is a bit overkill.  I love the wheels, and the rear arch is something i havnt seen before.  The red interior is something i will fade out.  but im keeping the seats.

That\'s Mike Manns old car :) Geff used to look after it for him, I\'ve seen it a number of times.

Front and sides are also RE-A at a guess? Rear wing is MS Aero-spec II.

Very nice mate, enjoy. Perhaps a little less red might be a good thing though as popular consensus seems to agree!

Im down in Harwich, and the girlfriends at colchester so will prob see you at some point, judging from the pics your not gonna be hard to spot;)

Is MDT\'s one the green/blue one with veilside kit?

Oh, another garage near you is Nemesis in colchester, not sure what theyre like on the servicing side of things, but good for upgrades :)   had a load of stuff fitted there (see sig)

MintyFresh

Yeah, Nemesis, and i believe Dragon are in Colchester too???

It is the Veilside kitted car, He lives in the colchester area permanently, so im sure you\'ll see him around (also easy to see).

Its a bit of an upgrade from his 1.4 fiesta though, so hopefully he\'ll be taking it easy for a while.
