my mates is on bilstein springs and dampers and handles brilliant
Id buy one just so i can make it go "bap,bap,bap,bap,bap" on idle!
That's a standard setup. I need coilovers, can't do standard height!
Lol Gally, the thought of your naw bag tightening gets me all excited.
Ben, BRAP idling is a long way down the line!
peripharal(sp) porting?
You will get there
You will get there
Looks great! Will be even better with one of your sets of wheels on there.
I wish I had the balls/garage space to run something like this, as Ben said I love the brap brap idle some of the slightly heavier tuned ones have. Vaguely remember Malice explaining what it is that makes them do it but I've forgotten by now.

Dont like them in stock form, but with subtle mods(ie wheels, stance, despoiler) they are one of the nicest looking cars ever.
Dont think I could live with something that old, but I know from your thread how much you wanted this, and Im glad its all worked out for you

When I washed it today, as the screen dried you could make out where some funky Jap stickers had been on the rear window. One of them said "Something Rogue", can't remember the first word now, but it sounds like some Japanese car crew!
seeing as its only don't 26k miles lol it doesn't matter how old it is and they made them up to 2002 with nothing really changing...
as you said rx8 seats fit with a bit of modding to the rails...
the recaro seats are nice but command such a high price!!!
brapping can be done on a large street port, but gets very boring lol especially if you have pissy neighbours, tbh you can map a stock car to brap a bit...
enjoy the quietness of the stock exhaust lol!

TBH I don't want it idling loudly, too many miserable moaning old c***s around here, plus it wouldn't go down too well at 5.30AM after a nightshift.
my shotgun exhaust is supposed to be considered fairly quiet lol... compared to the blitz nur spec i had... its massively quiet compared to that, the nur was just mental! shotgun gives a nice raspy rotary tune and once the screamer pipe opens... well my hearing is becoming worse put it that way!!! which is why I'm now on a cabin sound deadening mission lol! floors, roof, rear arches, fire wall, doors, trans tunnel are all gonna get heavily sound deadened!
i might know someone with a stock strut brace that I'm trying to get for you... gimme a couple days will see what i can do I'm surprised jit didn't put one on... did you collect or did he deliver?

What's this brapping people talk of?!
Lovely car though. Can't wait to see your progress on it. They can look utterly awesome.

he looked after his 200!! better than most people do!! rust is rust if you catch it late or its in areas you can't see... tough s**t!
gaz take a pic of the wiring you say is dodgy... a lot of the wiring in a rx7 looks a bit amateur lol...
Indeed they do, that's an urban myth.

MENTAL.
no they use a sugar based road prep, no salt involved, it stops things rusting from masses of salt coating everything!
£6.2k
Seeing as I only had it the final 2 years of it's 14 years in the UK, I'm not really to blame for the rust!
Wouldn't be one of my cars if it didn't!
It'll be on FDUK soon, I've no doubt there's more to find yet. The radio is also wired up weirdly, doesn't work at all!
Chasing this horn issue has thrown up some more DIY wiring. I detest electrics at the best of times, wiring does my tits in.
Tape FTL...
I think those 2 are related, there's a random switch in the centre that's been added in, which is all the red wire. That also seems to be spliced into the handbrake, and I guess that's ignition related behind the steering column. Turbo timer maybe?
My radio is also wired in with lots of spade connectors, and doesn't work lol.
FUUUUU electrics.

Batshit wiring FTW!
Love these when they dont have daft bodykits and silly wheels.
Superb.

Suppose it's to be expected on a car of it's age, just makes my life a PITA.
I see it so often at work.
"No I wont spend £3 on that wiring adaptor, instead i'll spend f**king ages cutting everything to shreds, twist all the bare wires together then lash everything in leccy tape!"
Followed by:
"Eeeeeerre mayyyyteeeee my stereo int workin anymoreeeee, its brand new and i fit it misen and everyfinnnn!!!"
Rip it all out and start again gaz.
