Thanks Michal  Thats handy info to have.

I will be giving each and every one of those places a call on Tuesday. I have heard of a couple of them, like Adrian Flux and Carol Nash, but didn\'t think to try them.

I Would like a Type R 2.6 TT in Black to begin with, just to get me used to the cars, then perhaps either modify or upgrade after  while.

Called jimmys-RX7.co.uk (spoke to Andrew) today and found out that he has a nice Black Type R, 2.6 TT on the boat and due in the docs on Sunday! So provided all goes to plan, that will be my new baby!
Agree with what has been said about Jimmys though, VERY friendly place, even took my name should I call back and want to view the car when Its ready to view. I didn\'t realise they even re-build the engines, service and replace tyres etc before the cars go out to the market! Top Notch place!!

Thanks for ALL the info you guys have given me so far. Its priceless stuff!

Yup that was me. Nice car!
Your car helpd me make the ultimate decision to get an RX7!
Where were you off to in such a hurry anyway :-)

[Griff]

Nath, very nice! only £7.8k?? Not a bad price at all. Is that UK or Jap spec?
I will be looking aroung the Auto trader etc, just to make sure I cover my bases and try to find a car that suits me.
I take it people tend to look after these cars pretty well, and as such, they tend to always be in pretty good condition. Is that right?
But if I can find one as clean looking as yours Nath, I\'d be a happy bunny!

[Nath]

Its a Jap Spec Type R ,

Yeah some people do look after them but then yu get some that dont , allways remember that when there in Japan you just dont know whats been done to it of how its been driven so you can only go on looks and a few test drives ,

I was happy with it but if i had done more research maybe i would have not got this one as i wanted to put different bumpers on and not relising that they can be £400 - 1K for a Nose cone i would have got one slightly kitted up  allready.


But im still very happy with it , just the way it rumbles down the road and people just stand and stare just brings a smile to my face

[Griff]

I understand exactly what you mean, Nath.

I found this on E-bay.

What is the \'ifini\' mean?

[Nath]

Efini is the French word for infinity,

Efini was the name given to the 3rd gen i belive (Dont quote me)

Ebay doesnt seem to work.:confused:

[Griff]

hmmm, ok, try this one

[Nath]

Yeah doesnt seem to bad, price is good , just dont seem like 18\'s maybe just bad pic and they look deep dish so probally are.

[Griff]

I suppose the only way to really find out what its like is to go have a look and take a drive.
Are there any noises, creaks, knocks I should look out for when checking out one of these cars?

I live just down the road, got my RX about a month ago (96 black RZ ).

For insurance I\'m using Chaucer through Houghton Insurance brokers as shown in the thread, and am paying just under £800 FC with £350 excess.  I\'m 27 with full protected NCB, on a 1996 RZ (mods are no problem for Chaucer, although I\'ve only got a cat back and HKS filter).

Good luck mate, if you\'d like to meet up let me know.

[Griff]

Sach, that\'d be great to meet. It will give me a chance to have a look around the car and see what is like, and meet a member of the club too.
When would be conveinent? Saturday afternoon?
