I forgot to mention setting myself on fire, now that was funny:Hammer, I have the photo of my shoe in flames somewhere, I\'ll get Grant to put it up. I\'ve only got the Trans Am, my Mustang and Garys FD to build after the RX4, whatever going to do with myself after that(assuming I live that long)!!!

Yes thankyou dad:D.
 
Dont forget to mention that i spend 90% of my weekends on this car, especially on the prep involved for the paint, time consuming and laborious, to get it right for that expensive mazda RX8 paint that it has been sprayed in.

I havent mentioned the turbo i am going to be using yet so i will say it now. A Garrett GT4088, i was looking at and have been seriously debating the 4094R which is the ball bearring version, but i cant justify how much they are!!
 
And also i think the money i have saved on the turbo can go towards a good set of Drag racing tires, of which i need some help with on who, what and where to get some. They are not needed right now but it will be good to know what i need to be looking at, so if any body has some recomendations then feel free to post up on the thread.

If anybody is wondering about what BHP im looking to achieve then the answer to that is, if it is faster, and scares me like the rx7 did then i will be happy, and also if it goes brap brap brap just sat there i will have a grin on my face from ear to ear all the time!

Quote from: TiddlesRX7;725585Yeah this is gonna be awesome. I want one, but im never gonna be able to afford one :(
To be fair i dont think being able to afford one of these machines, its more of a case of if you can FIND one, as there wasnt a huge amount ever brought to this country,and from as i gather from speaking to the man that actually first owned the car, mine is a uk model and not an import! So that is a uk RX4 i have and a uk RX7! how lucky am i?!
 
I was very lucky to purchase this car as i was originally looking at rx3s on youtube and really wanted one but then i saw Clives car on here and then saw the one that i have now i just had to have it.

so here is the picture of when my dad set his slipper on fire from welding my car. I think before he started welding he had spilt som thinners onto his foot, common sens would dictate to GO PUT SOME BOOTS ON! but not my dad, he got the welder out and started, after thinking to himself what the hell is that burning smell?? and why is mt foot really hot, the 2 thoughts came together, shiv my foot is on fire!!!!!! run to outside tap to put it out, but take picture before hand as it is funny! :rollin:rollin:rollin:rollin:rollin

As you can see on the photos the car only has one wing mirror? I think if i can get away with i will not bother putting any on at all, but we will have to see what it looks like on some wheels without one

You need two rear view mirrors, not sure the regs say where they have to be though ;)
Brap Brap Brap Brap

Well what i was thinking is that you have to have them on the car only if they originally came with them? I think the one that came on mine was an optional extra! LOL
