Hi all, its with a heavy heart that i\'ve decided to part with my vitually mint Red EGI. Some of you may have seen us at meets (Simply Mazda, Beaulieu  & Rotorstock 8) and if you did you\'ll know what a stunningly clean car this is.

I garaged it up for winter when the tax ran out (Oct) but I really can\'t see me getting the time to enjoy this car in the coming summer.

The faults on this car are SO very very few (1 x cracked rear speaker cover), very minor wear to drivers seat, slow sunroof open/shut per usual. Virtually no visible rust top or bottom (only 1 tiny paint bubble on rear o/s arch) Underside fully waxoiled. Has corrosion/leak to power steering cooler pipe which will be fixed.

Rare totally straight car with no mods except Janspeed twin exhaust (sounds lovely!). Has full air pump pipe in place but it did fracture before garaging so needs sleeving.

Norm asp/Non turbo. Mileage circa 71000. This has been a summer Sunday runner for about last 10 years. Currently MOT has expired but will be MOT\'d for buyer. (Sorned for winter but can tax at buyers expense)

I challenge you to find a cleaner EGI than this one, anywhere! This is not a project just pure RX7 Heaven! hence the asking price

£ 2000  ovvno.

Also have a nice set of FD rims (&spacers) available to the buyer if wanted (was going to change the wheels in summer).

More detail and pics to follow asap.... but see the car in my signature for the mo\'

Sad to see your selling but good luck with the sale, it will however give somebody a good increasingly rare car :Thumbsup!

Had it not been for me buying an EGI many years ago and having lots of fun in it there would have never been a Mazdarotaryclub
All the best Clive

Right now i have a bit of spare time i will go into a bit more detail.
The previous owner owned it for 8 years and was bought for his wife as a car that she could drive on some sunday\'s in the summer. In there ownership it only covered about 1500 miles in 8 years, was never driven in the rain and hasn\'t seen any since his and our ownership, apart from when we pick it up and a bit when we went to Simply Mazda. It was always kept in a warm dry garage and even if it wasn\'t on the road he would keep it all mot\'ed and when he got it he took off all of the rust and kept it waxoiled every 2-3 years.
The sunroof did rust a bit as per usual but he got that all sorted and fixed (its still a little slow), the headlights stopped working so he gave it to afr tuning to fix and they did fix it to a very good standard with a bill totaling £800 if i remember correctly.
This fc has been very well kept with money as no object, is in very good condition and very little rust.
The only faults that have happened in our ownership the rear washer and wiper have stopped working so that needs to be sorted.

When we also went to santa pod for rotorstock 8, we took the egi down the strip and it was giving out times that where factory and she did about 12 runs without fault. We also took her on shorham runway and she was very impressive and gave a 0-60 time of 8.4 seconds and 0-100 in 23.9.
I am now a rotary fan and it will always be my favorite engine and i will miss her very much when she is gone.
Also the front badge that was on it when we got her has now been removed as it didn\'t look right and wasn\'t standard.

Here are some more pics of her all shined up and at shows
Now if you don\'t like tones of pics look away now























And i also have some vids of her on youtube

Typing all this and putting up the pics makes me really want to keep her but i just can\'t any more :(

Any questions please ask

Thanks clive, someone will defiantly be getting a increasingly rare car considering it is very close to stock and in such good condition.

So basically the egi made the rotary club :Thumbs-up
I will do a swap for your RX-4 though Clive :Laugh

Well i\'ve been offered a very tempting 1st refusal on another car and need to sell this gem to fund it.... so,.......

maybe James (w/ntz) and me should just fit the pinkies, tax her up and go for one last ride... the trouble is, the minute I jump in THAT car and drive her again i\'ll change my mind and won\'t want to let her go!!..... my guilty pleasure. :driving

Still looking for a good home and caring owner for our beautiful FC.

Replaced the corroded steering cooler pipe at the weekend and sh\'es had a little clean today, including the engine bay.

Will be sold with 12 month MOT. Sensible offers considered as we still have an option on another car.

It really is a shame I have too many cars as this would have suited my wife just fine being that it\'s standard and a lovely car too drive

If my mr2 and Subaru impreza wagon sell quickly and you still have this I\'ll give you a shout

Cheers, fingers crossed for us both then. It is a cracker but to be honest I really can\'t see us getting the use out of it so we are working at parting with this and our standard(ish) MX5 to get a beastly Turbo\'d 5. Hopefully, fate will lend a hand...
 
Once the MX5 is back to standard we might be selling also the bobs and whistles to fund a an FD so, we might not be off the Rotary scene. :yes
