Beach should definitely paint it. He's wanted a clean car for a long time. I can see it that gold/el Dorado color. **** would be boss.

I have a roof wing and I can open my sunroof all the way but once it's open I can't open the hatch all the way

I see. Makes sense i guess, wasn't really designed with the spoiler in mind. Still stands though, you can open the sunroof fully. Just can't open the hatch with it open.

I was really curious in dropping some MINT s4 tails in the GTUs, but someone told me its much harder to get S4s to fit into S5s

whoops, thought you asked how. Took it all out because the ABS computer was inop, and I have been driving FC's since 1992, so driving them without ABS is more natural to me, and taking it out instead of trying to fix it to me was the better solution. The only RX7 I ever ever driven with ABS was my 94 R2. Never experienced ABS in an FC, but definitely do not need it. These cars were originally designed with ABS out of the picture, and they work very well without it.

Knock sensor by the looks. Series 4 it goes on the centre iron near the oil filler from memory and on series 5 it goes on the front housing above the spark plugs

Looks like the variable-assist power steering pressure sensor to me. If it is, is screws into the high pressure outlet of the PS pump.

I took a few shots of my car this afternoon, Black cars always look good wet :P
Hopefully the car will be going in for a fresh coat of brilliant black in the early spring.
