Quote from: Arnie_O;792916Clive\'s RX4 is worthy of a feature for its Retro Coolness

Nooooooo, Aston without asking these two have been turned down at events already by the ex scooby editor, cant remember his name and Martin Vincent the other ex editor took the mick out of him :Giggle besides the 4 has been in Retro car a couple of years back and the 8 is not modded enough or fast enough, besides I would rather see a members car or a Mazdarotaryclub feature,

Come on people you have lots of nice cars out there, pictures
All the best Clive

A club feature would be nice but if your the owner of a nice RX4 then whats the problem, I can see where your coming from but its a stunning rare car that deserved some spotlight.

we cannot help that JP has been awash with scoobies and evo\'s for ages... its time things changes... contrary to popular belief "There is a replacement for Displacement"

Apparently putting details of your car spec in your signature means the nice folks on exile-rotorsport think you\'re a fool.  I can think of no higher compliment!

Clive when my rx4 is finished we could do a triple MRC feature. You me and jojo. Title for it could be "standard, mild and wild!". Or "sensible, not so sensible and stupid" stupid being me for putting a 500HP moto in a car 10years older than me.

As I recall Tony refused the mags a feature on his RX-8 because none of them would contribute a donation to Help the Heroes in exchange for the feature. I dunno whether he\'s rethought his stance (or they have) but have to admire his point of principle.

I definitely agree that old skool rotaries should get more exposure. Not just Clive\'s \'4 and the awesome Ralph the insane thing, but some of the excellent cars on Exile are more deserving of being brought to the public\'s attention. After all, the mags run features on like AE86 Corollas and like 240Zs, older rotaries are every bit as good looking, superbly engineered and much rarer in most cases.

I think there should be a stand alone rotary only magazine.
I didnt realize until i was in whsmith flickin through the mags a couple of weeks ago that there are now magazines dedicated to both scoobs and evos. I think there is enough rotary powered vehicles in the uk to have a monthly mag. The cars don`t have to be of a high standard either, as long as there`s an interesting story behind it people will read it.

Totally agree about this - there\'s a wealth of knowledge and every single car ends up different. The great things about modding these cars is the individuality you can add to the car, with each car developing a different spirit according to where its owner wants to go.

If you\'re wanting to cover local \'meets\' then we do have a Guildford one every now and again which usually gets a nice turn out of top cars and people.
Will be having one at the end of this month/begining of next if thats not to short notice for you

My opinion is that plain colours such as white or black dont get noticed no matter how good they are underneath. I think you should get some cool stickers on there, or a partial wrap of something ludicrous.

See what you mean, even If I go for fibreglass doors it will still look the same !

Even the white in the engine bay gets ignored :p

Its only got a single turbo, full roll cage, no interior, flocked dash, uprated everything and more stuff you can shake a stick at (but needs wider front wheels and tweaking). Completely stock really :Giggle

Did think about some orange wheels :Giggle

Just don\'t stick \'bits\' on it, I haven\'t been into things trying to be something they\'re not for many years. Much prefer stealth. I run my single daily but need an interior to ferry the kids about. Sometimes I think they love it more than me. Gets a lot of attention on the school run ;)
