I really like the black and the silver ones, although the red interior does look fantastic.

On the silver one, is the front bumper Mazda speed? Was the Mazda speed kit standard on a certain year/revision?

Gurj, what website did you find those cars on pls?

Cheers

Hi Gav,

the black one looks in very very good condition from the pic, not sure what kits on the silver one although the front does look like mazdaspeed??

Both cars can be found on the //www.autotrader.co.uk site, those 3 were the best ones on there matey.

Black rx7 - £10600 - 07785 997593

Silver rx7 - £12995 - 01923 839 090

Gurj.

Blimey you\'re like a bargain hunting machine mate!! Cheers!

Silver one is fab, think i\'m going off the idea of getting a model like the black one, then spending £££ kitting it etc. There are so many beautiful FDs on offer seems silly to spend so much money to personalise an already rare car!

Red leather is stunning. Anyone know how that compares to the interior of a Type X/ Bathurst X models? Some of those had red leather standard, thought it was just the seats though?? Either way, the insurance scoundrels would just laugh at me with that kind of power! :mad:

The silver one is mazdaspeed front end, possibly a mazdaspeed type II rear wing also, but i always get them muddled up with the \'99 spec one! :confused: I think that it may well be a full Type II bodykit, including front end, skirts and rear wing. Could be wrong though!

Hey while we\'re at it guys, could you give me an opinion on this kit? It\'s what i\'d like if i was going to buy a stock FD and put my own bits and pieces on. Front end is INGS+1, rear end is also INGS+1, skirts are C-West and rear wing would be a standard \'99 spec jobbie.

Skirts: http://www.dragonperformance.co.uk/productimages/f-42e57397-2854-4955-90bb-093a88731a16.jpg

Rear: http://www.dragonperformance.co.uk/productimages/f-a21ee9b2-d6d1-427d-ade3-9ea9c248047c.jpg

Would appreciate any input guys! Seems very very reasonable for the kit itself (when you compare the prices to jap stuff) but i\'m worried about fitting/labour/spraying etc. Hey Gurj, did you get the respray yourself or was it another bonus of your new car?

Cheers!

Hi Mate,

My car was already done Purple when i bought it off Ross, one of the reasons i bought this particular car was indeed the colour.

Took me 8 months to find the right rx chap so until you got exactly what you want keeping looking!!!!;)

The black rx i picked out is at a very good price as the rebuild was already done and had aftermarket bits / bobs.

Hi Adrian,

That kit looks awesome. I love the front bumper and also how the rear bumper is blended into the rest of the car.
The sideskirts look nice and very chunky.

All that white car needs is a decent spoiler to finish it off IMO.

No joy yet with the car searching Im afraid. Im away for the next few days on a training assessment down at Dorset, so if I get chance I might have a look around down there, to see what cars are available. Lets hope a nice RZ turns up with 20,000 miles, black around 1995, all for about £6000. (Yeah right!)

Cheers
Gav

I think Jet Pilot who posts here is in Dorset and has a nice looking black FD for sale right now.

Yeah, it\'s a beaut. Same kit i believe, looks very interesting in black...accentuates the curves imho. Also got the mazdaspeed carbon (look) dash...think that would be very very tempting, only downer is the relatively high mileage. £9k is a fair price, but you\'d definitely want to set aside another £3k for a rebuild.

Cool, glad someone else likes it. People in the office think it looks too \'simple\', but i like the minimalist idea...they\'re still big big fans of Veilside kits and the like, but i think they distort the lines of an FD too much. Still, all subjective! But thanks for the input. I think i\'m right in saying the skirts are C-West, Ross has them descibed as GTC skirts, but they\'re certainly not the mazdaspeed GTC ones!

White cars are not so good...the RX still looks cool but it doesn\'t really flatter the car. Agree with the rear wing, i quite like the GT style wings with the central mounts, but not too keen on the type that have the mounts near the side of the car. I love the standard \'99 spec wing, but if it came with something like this i\'d also be happy!!

Should thank Ross for providing so many useful links!

Have fun on the course, but good luck finding an RZ with 20k on it for £6k!! Still, at least if you do it\'s guaranteed to be black mate!

I was thinking, wouldn\'t it be great if there was an independent company who went out to \'survey\' FDs? Just been looking at a couple of houses, and it occured to me these surveyors make a killing but provide an essential service. Also, a friend bought a TVR a while back, and commisioned someone to go out and test the car in every way before buying it.

Found this on EBAY:

Just seen the latest addition to Ben\'s site...his own, personal FD!! It\'s unreal! Have you guys seen it yet? What do you make of the Garage Carrera front end? Strange that the tell-tale \'99 spec front lights have gone (ironic as most pre \'99 spec ones have them!!) but i think it\'s incredible. Dread to think what kinda price it\'ll go for though! :rolleyes:

[GeckoGareth]

I like it but not £20k like it

Ben\'s FD for sale here

cheers
