Quote from: Nik da Greek;665994If a Racing Beat zorst seems pretty loud, I\'d advise not going for a Nur Spec in that case, the RB is generally considered one of the more civilised and quiet FD exhausts!

Dunno about the lights personally, never had a modern enough bumper to use them. Sorry

Quiet?!  It\'s not quite as loud as my Nur Spec which was fully decatted on my Supra, but not far off!  I can always put the baffle in if it\'s too loud though.  Anyway I\'ve gone and bought the Nur Spec now lol.  I\'ll hold on to the Racing Beat though so I can always change it back.

Quote from: FD3S Efini;666004nice looking FD maybe you have seen me in the east sussex area (hastings) as im often down there....im thinking a meet is in order for us southeners lol

Quote from: Nell;665922FMIC, uprate the brakes and possibly change the exhaust.  

Can someone tell me what the Blitz Nur Spec sounds like on an RX, I had one on the Supra fully decatted which sounded quite nice.  Not sure if I\'m keen on the Racing beat it currently has, it\'s extremely loud when I put my foot down,  but think the Nur Spec may sound better and I don\'t like the look of the tailpipe it has now.  It pops and flames with the current exhaust, would it still do this with the Nur Spec?

I\'d have a look at V-mount intercooler setups rather than front - they generally give better temps although you don\'t get that big grill at the front which looks kinda cool.

Breaks can be done pretty effectively by just changing the front discs and pad compound.  That\'s what I\'ve got on mine (along with braided hoses and R600 fluid and they\'re awesome - plenty good enough on track days and hauling the speed down from the wrong side of 170 at Brunters without a trace of fade.

I\'ve got the racing Beat twin exit cat back on mine and it\'s really quiet and civilised, yours is the single.  Could be that you need a decent silenced mid-pipe to go with it?

OK, not heard of a V mount lol.  I have booked it in with Super 7 for next week for a service, and if I can get hold of a Nur Spec in time, I\'ll get that on  too :Tongue1

I\'ll see what brakes they can sort me out, not looking to spend a fortune so new discs and lines sounds good.

Drove it today, I find that I really need to concentrate when driving, I\'m used to the Supra which is so easy to drive it practically drives itself, where as the rx is so aggressive, it\'s a very different drive, not sure if I\'m that keen on it lol.

Welcome to the world of real sports car driving :driving
You will out corner any Supra round tight twisties when you get used to it, it will give you a thrill a minute when you learn how to get the best out of it.
It is a real drivers car the Rx7, not a cruiser of GT type car.

Hi welcome and all that....

 You will need to change your \'AVATAR\' to one with your new RX, and \'you\' of course.

Please post lots of full sized photos on here first so we can help you choose the best one.  We are a very friendly and helpful club and always like to assist new members.

(Various angles and positions are suggested as the FD is a great car with great shapes and you really need to get it spot on)
  Thanks   :Thumbs-up

A v-mount is basically the rad and intercooler mouunted in a V shape with the open end pointing towards the front - channels airflow well to both.

The rex is a visceral beast, I managed to spin mine (at 20mph) the first time I drove it in the wet.  I blame the crappy Jap tyres but def take it easy until you get the measure of it.

I\'ve never driven another car that gives so much feedback.  On the other hand my daily is a Jeep which tends to give feedback via the post.
