Great car this. Had the pleasure of a few passenger laps in this car around the nurburgring a few moons back. Really well setup. I didnt even realise you still had this! Looks a bit different to how I remember though

Looking forward to getting it. Perfect winter project.

My fd was my first rotary totally bog standard....and i had no knowledge coming from modified nissans and subaru....i modified it over 2 years. Coilovers fmic etc. She detonated 1 day after a trackday few years back..was pretty broke at time so went on ebay...i was truly gutted.

Ok, I see. Well, now you have knowledge to do track beast, "few" Renesis have taught you

And seems like that car wont need any big jobs, looks like good car to play with. And dont like show&shine...

If oiling and cooling are working, dont have to worry about them. Maybe that gearbox if its noisy. Swap 6speed on it

Yep always had cooling and boost control issues on last 1 that lead to its demise. 2nd bite of cherry.

So turned up this morning, reconnected the battery, put a bit of fuel in (there was about 1/4 of a tank in it but its probably 2 years old now so put some fresh super in)

Checked the oil, clean as a whistle and at the correct level. Turned the key, and got a bit emotional....couldn't believe how quick it started considering its not run for probably over a year now.

If i had anywhere to work on it mate id be keeping it. But I don't. So I won't. still will be sad to see it go! Just promise you'll do a build thread

Casey · November 25, 2015, 02:23:49 PM

Congrats Jon, looks like a nice little project for the winter

Bobfish - I'll bet you'll be a bit emotional when the car is taken away - looks like you've had a great time with her in the past. Be good to see it back on the road though

^^ I typed that just as you were replying Carl!

Cheers Casey... Westory going nowhere ....Fisherman have more than 1 rod so i can have more than 1 car....lol. Westfield for small airfield sprint style days when its sunny. And the Fd for Combe and proper circuits.

Bobfish · November 25, 2015, 02:37:54 PM

boosted · November 25, 2015, 02:46:39 PM

Ive been waiting for my mate to get posted there.....the ring crash videos scare the life outta me though!

Bobfish · November 25, 2015, 03:04:18 PM

playstation is your friend! Lol

re japi · November 25, 2015, 03:05:45 PM

Damn, Im so jealous to Jon at the moment...

Seems like he is getting a really awesome car. Cant believe, that spec and that fast car is only 3500Â£... IÂ´m speechless... If Bobfish doesent change his mind

But most important is that car is going to good home and Jon will take care of it. (if he doesent crash it!

)
