Yeah I\'ve not seen that front end before mate. Looks good !!

FDAsh

Nice, I\'d be getting some ducting up to your IC asap though.

Jim_rx7

Yeah, not a big fan of that IC. Gonna get a front mount and remapped.

chrisJDM

very nice, great looking car :Thumbsup!

isnt summo power nissan stickers?

Besides that car looks really good.

Jim_rx7

I had to go check! Nah, they do parts for alot of other jap cars also.

I\'ve also got a nice set of rebuilt hybrid turbos that come with the car (not fitted).

So they need to be put on and get the thing remapped. :)

maz13b

mostly nissan parts.. dont think they do anything for Rx7 tho :)

Jim_rx7

Well, the decal is staying for now. lol

CraigWWW

Welcome back mate..

So what made you decide to rejoin the fuel swilling, seal breaking, money drain that is the FD?

How did you find the other cars you have had in the meantime?

Jim_rx7

After the bank ****ing up everything (refusing my bank transfers because they thought there were fraudulent - it happened 3 times today!), I\'m finally going to pick the car up tonight!! :)

Craig, I get bored mate. I would have owned one sooner or later again. I\'ve had the majority of Jap turbo\'d cars out there.

I loved my old Rx7, it totally put me off them and annoyed me when the engine went. So when I replaced it, I thought sod it, and sold it on.

Great cars though and looking forward to getting back behind the wheel again! :)

The Skyline, Supra and GTO are all great cars. But they are heavy and they feel heavy. Especially in the twisties!

I woof in your general direction.
