Looking for some help please guys...

[will_1223]

U get it for 1k then bud?? When can i come and get my free ride seeing as u got some pennies left over lol.

[STU13 B]

I did wonder about fuel cut as it used to do simular all be it more savage in my s14a before i had it mapped. The problem with that is everyone is millage away from Ipswich, gona have 2 do it tho as i dont want half measures. Just a bit of hastle but hopefully it will be worth it. If not there will be lots of parts coming up forsale soon! Lol! I got it for 1250 in the end. I will be givin him his plate back which is worth 250. Hes payin the fees etc, but not til i mot it. Pick it up mid december and it wont be on the road til the new year. Prob feb time. Gona sell my s14a and buy a dirty diesel 2 run around in til then.
 
Im goin 2 have another look sat in the day so will get a few pics then. Looks cool bar the gay wing, which will be going straight away. Any idea what velsides are worth?

[MaLicE]

nothing lol no one will buy it there have been a few on here for sale and they never sell... burn it

[STU13 B]

Yeah about what i thought 2bh! They look total gash! Lol!

since your down south i would suggest getting either jaydee to map it, or reworx, probably contact reworx as they will give the car a once over for you aswell to make sure everything is spot on.......sounds like you got an awesome bargain!!

[TiddlesRX7]

Sounds like a bargin to me. Well done mate. Hope you enjoy it.

[STU13 B]

Cheers guys, hopefully its a peach. Im normally the guy if i was 2 fall into a bucket of boobs id come out stucking my thumb!
 
Ill book it in to either reworx or haywards for a health check, if thats ok a full service and a new map. What do you think that little lot will cost? Any perferance of company? Out of those 2?
 
Then really its just a case of different wheels and some kind of rear spoiler. Paint can stay how it is for a bit, its not 2 bad. Rest of it should be good to go.
 
I keep seeing loads of threads with different sizing and offsets for wheels. Whats ideal for a RX7 in 17 or 18"? I would have to get 9j at the least. My S14a, can have a et12 with only minor rolling, i keep seeing et40 etc so getting a bit confused.
 
Cheers Stu

cant argue at that price one bit !!

First off, congratulations on what will hopefully prove to be a bargain car (expcept the Vileside wing, obviously lol)

Well, personally I\'d also put in a recommendation for Super 7 near Brighton if you\'re willing to travel. Do everything that needs doing to rotaries, and also offering mapping services now, too. Not to imply there\'s anything wrong with RE Worx or Carl\'s services, just giving you another option

Stock FD offset is +50, which is clearly extraordinarily homosexual You can get away with really quite big wheels on the back with quite a lot lower offset with just an arch roll...mine have ended up ~ET25 with 265 tyres (17s) for example. It\'s trickier going massive wheel/tiny offset on the front cos of lock scrubbage and that, and you really don\'t want to scrub the arch liner too much because then the next thing is it\'ll scrub through the wiring loom that runs through the top of the arch .

Most common opinion is that 18s are as big as you want to go before it seriously starts to compromise handling and ride. My personal preference is to 17s FWIW

Hope this helps, and hope the car turns out to be a peach rather than errrr....a fruit that\'s not as nice as a peach? Prune? Grapefruit? Arthichoke? well, whatever :Laugh

[STU13 B]

Haha, yeah that wing is coming straight off. So if anyone wants one (no idea why you would lol) but its gona be here. If not ill put it on a fire and record it so you can have a laugh! Lol!
 
Cheers mate, hadnt seen super 7, im gona send all 3 companies an email with what i want and see what they say. I dont mind goin 2 any of them as it will be on a trailer anyway.
 
Yeah your not wrong, the rear wheels are well inside the arch, look lost. Shame really as they are 8j. U would think they would try a bit harder. My 200sx standard wheels are +40 and even with a 20mm spacer still looks weak. They are 6.5j running a 205. U can imagine how shocking they are!
 
Haha, any of those. Im feeling fairly optimistic with it, even if its not a gd engine, a rebuild would still be worth it as i know that the rest of the car is good. Plus with all the other tuning stuff i will of saved myself a fortune.
 
Roll on mid December!!

[Jono FD3]

Fair play matey you have got a steel there!!!
Hope you have fun with her..... watch out when the second blower kicks in as it can catch you unaware and send you in to an unexpected drift situation

Jono

[STU13 B]

Thanks mate. With the 2way on there thats what im looking forward 2! Lol! Its gona be used as a weekend, and drift toy. I just hope they are as relaible as my nissan. Thats not missed a beat in 2 and a half years and ive done a couple of skid days and plenty of streeto :Nono!
 
Also looks like i may be gettin it on the 23rd of this month now after a chat with my dad.
 
Watch this space....

theres a couple of people who run 400bhp on stock twins and they have lasted.

Was gonna say! Mine\'s pootled around for a year plus on that now, and is running just fine! That\'s at the fly though, not wheels..

I think you\'ve seen the dyno at 367 at 0.8 bar with it\'s ignition issue (you\'d put it up on your 200mph build thread), but there\'s a bigger one somewhere around at 1 bar if I can did it out as the 367 was conservative mapping due to the ignition..

Still, I\'m guessing it can\'t be great on the twins though, but hey, so long as they don\'t spit fins into the engine and mangle the plates etc, I can swap them for cheaper than buying a single if they do go pop!!

[STU13 B]

Well after a long gap on here i finally picked her up yesterday.
 
Weather was to cold to get decent pics so when the snow goes a good clean and better pics will come.
 
Heres a couple for now.
 
What ya think?
