Newbie - Which RX7 to go for pls & differences?

[Gav]

R-magic?? Is that good or bad? Never heard of them.

Stu,

if you are looking for a standard rx with body kit but no mods under the hood you will indeed find one for £10k take your time and find the right one for yourself, i have earlier listed a whole lot of importors so have a good look around matey.

Sounds like my budget will cover. i have been looking on all the sites posted on these forums and it certainly seems that either Brian or Miguel are the main people to see.  however i am concerned by thread i read about Motermall not supporting the warraty they gave for a rebuild?

Anyone else had experiences of this?

I guess i need to be sure before parting with a large sum of cash that the engine wont blow with no cover?

This site really is brilliant for anyone looking at buying an RX. Thanks to all of you.

down to personal taste as to good or bad.  personally I really like their stuff.

didn;t mean to cryptic in my post, but R Magic stuff tends to be quite pricey and isn\'t all that common over here.

That\'s the reason I cover the warranty myself.
imo warranty companies are a waste of time.
I actually have a 96 rx7 basically stock. it has approx 57,000 miles and will be sold with full engine rebuild for approx 10 - 10.5k
Bargain of the year imo. Can\'t upload pics at the mo i\'m on someone else\'s pc as my broadband cable is dead.


dodgy moderators and their thread hijacks tut tut

Cheers

Is that a blitz boost guage or trbo timer I see?

Really?  S\'not the same as my \'96 and I\'ve not seen one like that before so I assumed aftermarket.
Learn something new every day on here.

Very tasty car Brian.  Sure it will be off to a good home in no time.

Thanks Brian, but its a little over my budget.

Cheers anyway.

R-Magic is nice stuff, like G said pretty rare too! As far as warranties go...i haven\'t a scooby do. But, of all the cars i\'ve seen supplied i\'ve only heard 1 \'horror story\'.

That said it\'s very commendable Brian offers the warranties etc in-house, so to speak. I believe New Era operate a policy for RX-7s, but it is an optional extra. Not sure how much the cover is though.

Hi to the new (er!) fellas too :wave and welcome to the forum! I\'m sure with enough searching you can find answers to anything here, and if not we\'re lucky to have a lot of really knowledgeable members! Never known such a friendly and helpful forum!

Quite right to be wary of the engine and implications associated with a high milage model Stu, the concensus seems to be that if you\'re looking to buy an FD with 50k miles+ to budget 3-4k for a re-build. That said, you\'ll prob notice such examples are relatively cheap. Insurance is also a big pain, and from all accounts the man at Shell is really going to like me...but in any case it\'s still sensational value for money imho...what other car could provide such excitement and exclusivity?

Another few months and i should be about ready to get down to my first meet, with a bit of luck i\'ll be able to meet up with you guys and we\'ll have a kinda \'veterans-newbies\' day!
