Quote from: dthebuk;603165err uk TII\'s arn\'t too rare. where are you looking?
Tbh i find my TII too much for roads. It spins the rears when it hits boost in 2nd gear in a straight line. As cool as that is...i like being able to throw the egi where ever and when ever without having to worry about what the turbo\'s doing. The TII is just running breather mods and double stock boost.

I want something like that.. I like driving things that you have to be involved with, always expecting twitchyness. Lol... Makes the drive less boring :)

As for price. it depends what you want. Mine cost £1k with 20k on the engine. Though it needs new polybushes all round. Probably spent about £1k on it already. 2k should get you one in good nick with a reasonable amount of miles.

and do you mean new gtr? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mob3zLf5voQ

No. R33 gtr.. As much as i like the 35.. Id prefer r32/3/4s.

as for fc\'s http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mazda-RX7-TII-Convertible-Show-Car-63K_W0QQitemZ120412642588QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item120412642588&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A7%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

Looks stunning.. Just a few months to early.. Lol..

Quote from: TiddlesRX7;603170Thats me alright. And thats how I know they leave Skylines behind on twisty stuff.
What happened to your monster R33 project?

I got so far. Ready for remap. Would of seen 450bhp, but still had lots to do, and r33 prices were dropping to crazy prices!! Worked out i had to spend nearly £8k to get it how i wanted. And i could of picked up a nicely sorted r33 gtst for around 4/5k. So i decided to break it..


Oh and I\'d say TII\'s are rare espcially uk ones most have gon
e to the scrap yard in the sky.
One point that I can\'t emphisise enough though. Yhave to do your research with these cars. Just bolting mods on doesn\'t always help, infact you can hurt/hinder the car and its performance. Horror stories you read about rotarys are generally people who didn\'t do their research before doing something or not doing something they should have.

Oh ive red all about that... I will be reading up on as much as i can.. Thanks

Oh and after 2 1/2 years on here I still don\'t know half of the stuff I should about he cars. Always learning something new about them.


:Thumbsup! Thanks

ok you can have that....even though im not at school.



oh skylines eh? i got a video for a 600bhp gtr too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpyFRAecc3Q

As for the more involved drive, they\'re both brilliant cars just different :D
though its clear your after more power so TII really is the way to go. Without knowing your driving history, id just warn you that they can be a handfull. And due to the weight distribution and low moment of inertia, you need to be pretty quick to catch the back end when it steps out. I managed to spin the n/a once, it was ridiculous how fast the back end flew out, and i wasnt even trying :D

anyway, sounds like you know your stuff so good on you. Just think safety before any mod you do. So if you want a full through and a filter, get a FCD etc etc
