Finally i am done with the nova period of my life! I have sold it to a mate of mine from Bognor Regis.

Shud be taking delivery of my nice new yellow mazda RX7 a friend from Japan has brought for me and as i work for BA i have got myself a very good rate for airfreighting it over to the UK. It comes complets with 19" blitz wheels and a nice tasty exhaust, FMSH in japanese (lot of use that!) and a tasty set of coilovers.

Cannot wait!

guess it'll be a grey import - several insurance companies maybe a little nasty with the premium cos of parts.

If cars not uk spec they can add on extras for labour etc etc etc.

I know we dont touch imports (dont touch much to be honest) :roll:

99% sure all RX7's were imports as mazda UK did not think there would be the demand for them.

Here is a very small shitty pic of it, going to try and get my mate to resend me the pics he sent of it a few weeks back.

RX7's can seriously damage your bank account!!!
My mate Gary has one (Been on cover of Max and is in Fast Car next month) and it's cost his oodles and oodles of cash - does look the absolute shiznits though (And it's a little bit quick aswell!!!) :wink:

Hi,

Place round here is a rotary specialist... WGT motorsport i think they are called


Phil

PS: Only Certain parts are rare. If we were involved in Japanese cars, we would know where to ask to get the right results.....

my friends boss has an rx7 mainly uses it for track days! hes been through 2engines so far and tbh a complete engine is pritty cheap! think he goes to a specialist and pays around ?2000 for one on an exchange basis
