He's from Oz

 

Very nice ride. And welcome to the forum.

 

now-nadda

 

Nice ride and welcome.

 

Nice ride,

But what do you mean by 12A turbo gearbox?
I only know the Japanese 12A turbo inj. rx7.
and in Europe you could buy a Rx7 Elford Turbo (i've got one )
But the trannie was stock. Not sure of the Japanese trannie do...

I don't know more official mazda 12 A turbo releases... correct me if I'm wrong...

Greetz,

 

Very nice! Welcome to the forum!

 

Nice! Damn aussies get the useless back seats! I want one!!!!!!

 

anyone want to swap a storage bin setup(every thing, trim seat belts etc.) for a rear seat setup

interior colour brown - you pay shipping costs both ways

what no takers

seriously though what would i need to put storage bins in place of my useless seats ?

 

sheet metal, proper sized carpet, and 2 bins.

nice ride.

 

Eventhough the seats are practically useless for passengers. Ide rather have them then the storage bins that you cant ever get to unless you get out of the car.

 

Sorry to Tom for hijacking your thread (nice car BTW)

Maguire I like the seats but they weigh a tonne and the foam traps water like it was designed to rot out the wheel wells

might start a new thread on how to retrofit bins to a 2+2 I can't visualise how they fit at the moment

 

Yea I want one too. They are cool. Anyone with a black one in good shape out there listening?

Welcome to the forum tom85 nice looking car ya got.

 

I'm a little late but.... here goes.

Welcome Tom85,

We are all glad that you joined our loving community. A few things to do while you are here is to check out the "stickies" in each section, the archives, and don’t be afraid to use the search option for some answers.

If you have a question about rotary engines or RX-7's, you've come to the right place. When asking a question, be sure you are asking it in the appropriate forum. (ex. Not everything goes into the Lounge)

I've been a member for a while and have learned that this site is flowing with information, great people, and the owners are always striving to make this a better place for the users. The admins and moderators do not tolerate flaming other people or their property. If you are attempting to undermine the tranquility of the forum, I’m sure appropriate action will be taken.

On a personal note and fair warning: Ignore the people who have a pinecone shoved up their asses. (Basically, don't take everything on here personally.)

Enjoy your stay.

You sure you wrote this for THIS forum?

Sorry Error, couldnt resist.

 

BTW storage bins went into cars with additional rear-impact bracing (Canada and US models) added to meet safety requirements

When putting in rear seats, this bracing will likely have to be removed. Should the car ever be moved to another State or Province it may fail safety inspection (detrimental structural modifications)

 

anyone got any photos of the aditional bracing ? I'm seriously considering making some bins for my car

 

I didn't say the forum is perfect.

Thanks,

The wheels are 16"

As with the seat's in the back they can hold 3 (pissed) peolpe not a problem at all, as i was driving...

When i got it, it had an auto and the 12A turbo box was out of a Jap Spec RX7, and i was told be my mech that they were stonger then standard, he could have been telling me crap, but so far i haven't had any problems with it. I've got a mate who's got a 90 S5 Turbo, and he loved the feel of the gearbox??

Thanks for the comment's

Private inspection facilities my friend

 

Tom85, Please tell me specifically where I could get the front speaker panels like the ones on your car.



Thanks!

 

You won't need the bracing to make the bins - just the metal panel that makes the front & angled top, the associated carpeting, and the plastic bins and covers.

You need to REMOVE the bracing in North American models to install the seats, and then you risk failing inspections.
