I\'ve got some fitting instuctions Baz, I think they\'re all much the same for any system because all the head scratching goes on at the front, the reactor has stub pipes in it which need cutting down and there are a few blanking-off plates to fit where the air pump goes. The blanks are easy stuff, the stub pipes a bit harder, then setting the carburettor to run a bit leaner is a bit tricky.
The rest of the exhaust is obvious pipes and hanger stuff.
It\'s on an A4 double sided paper if you want to pm me with an address or email address.

That\'s very kind....I\'m guessing I have to be a "Proper" member to send P.M\'s (and have a signature and avatar?), but my e-mail is on my profile....Think I\'ll have to join properly soon! :D

Got it David. I\'ll have a look at scanning and emailing this weekend. Doubt you\'ll be under the car this weather? As for being kind - lets just say we\'ve all been there at some time.
When I saw the broken exhaust on our third 1st Gen I just thought "oh well, better get the \'exhaust changing papers\' out again".
And yes, I think now that you say it PM facilities are limited to members. Sorry forgot.

Another setback in my plans for the car....Didn\'t win the replacement glass sunroof....May seem like a small thing, but I needed something POSITIVE to happen for me....It\'s all been negative so far, and now I feel I\'ve lost heart completely (Two family bereavements - One unexpectedly -within the last month haven\'t helped either)....I think the car is going to have to go back on Ebay as a "Project" at a tremendous loss to myself.
 
I\'ll concentrate on my MX-5, and maybe find a NICE RX-7 one day, when I\'ve more money....Feel a bit stupid really, as I could have had my MX-5 resprayed with what I\'ve wasted on the RX-7 so far!
 
One lesson learned: BEWARE WHEN BUYING CARS OFF EBAY!!!! It\'s a horrible fact of life, but people aren\'t always honest....I feel quite depressed....:(

Done it David. 4pages sent which is 2 sets of double sided instructions for 2 different exhausts. Both the same thing though as said.

Thanks very much....I must say, everybody on here has been most friendly and helpful! :)

Car is sadly now back on Ebay....:(
 
The reserve I\'ve set is (obviously) less than I paid for the car, but isn\'t THAT cheap, so there\'s a chance it won\'t sell....I\'ve decided to re-list once if it doesn\'t, and if it still doesn\'t go after that I\'ll keep it, but it\'ll have to be a LONG TERM project....My MX-5 will take priority when money needs spending!
 
If it does go, I definitely want a better First Gen RX-7 one day! :2Rolleyes

New owner Ary collected the car today and took it off to Wales....Nice chap, and I get the impression that he\'ll have a bit more in the way of funds to throw at the car than I would have had! :2Rolleyes
 
I\'d just like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for the help and advice you gave me during my brief ownership of the car....Should I ever "grow out of" the MX-5, then I\'ll be looking for another (nicer) first gen....Maybe I\'ll catch you all again in the future! :D
 
Kind regards,
David.

David, my wife will totally disagree with the funds statement. :)
 
Nice meeting you and thanks for the stewardship of the RX-7.
 
Good luck with the MX-5 projects.
 
Cheers,
