Hey Gianni\'s back. Merry Christmas mate.

I like it, not usually into the 3 spoke style but that pulls it off... Probably because its an FC and its difficult to make it not look cool.

Merry Christmas Ade! I sold a car to Timmy last night who also bought this one off me a few years back and he was telling me it had a thread on here so I came on. Love the splitter!

I\'ve actually got an RX8 now ad never once thought to come on here! I alwas associate this place with RX7s.. Ill have a browse and hopefully stick around!

Good to see my old car though

Good to know mate. I\'m quite tempted by an RX8 myself cause it\'d be more family friendly then the FC. I can\'t bring myself to sell the FC though.

thread bump
thanks for the comments guys

been busy over the last few weeks but had some tidy things over christmas
new jack its awesome

been needing a new one for ages plus my old one wasn\'t low enough

had some new stickers,a rebuilt kit for the rear calipers only needed the bush for the handbrake were it was leaking,harnesses and a quick release spacer

as you can see from the last pic the sound deadening is quite dirty so i guess thats the next job to get it all up
hopefully il get some tidy pics up soon but japfest is coming up soon and i want to get a some tidy pads and discs for it

Looking good! Is that a custom exhaust? Looks just how I\'d like one for my FC (small pipes, angled out and upwards on each side)

rust it getting worse
headlights stopped working
mpg is ridiculous
and ive got no money but other than that all is well

Welcome to RX-7 ownership

She looks nice though mate, maybe look into getting the car undersealed. The sooner you \'stop the rot\' the better, headlights I\'m sure is a quick fix. You have to persevere with egi ownership the mpg is quite bad with them, no one will deny that they are a whole in your pocket for a daily driver!

You could think about transplanting an RX-8 engine into it, slightly better mpg and it will be faster and with 6 gears depending on the model, give one of the tuners a call find some prices. A renesis engined egi would be pretty cool actually, I\'ve now sent myself down a trail of thought that could be Interesting :Giggle

Carl mentioned it on one of the threads. The Renesis is enginered to be more civilised... so gives you more scope for tuning within certain regulations (noise/emmissions/etc).

B.Martin · February 24, 2012, 08:15:56 AM

I\'ve just pm\'d him about it, I\'ll let you know what he says. I think I want one when I get back to the uk

i think it was undersealed by the previous owner but its the rust on the arches at the moment it take a pic its really bad at the moment il take a pic when i get a chance but i\'m looking to get the shine auto rear spats soon

if i do change the engine it will probably the a 13b turbo lump going in to it
but it wont be anytime soon as i cant afford it yet once im in the raf i\'ll have to get another car for getting back and forth and the mazda won\'t be my daily driver the so it could be the perfect opportunity to get it done then
