Alrite lads...Very proud to be able to say that after a long time waiting for an RX7 of my own, I am able to say that I have just purchased this 1994 RX7 R2 at auction in Japan.

Will have to wait about two months for it to arrive in Ireland tho!!

Nice car maaaaan ... just you should now think about 3 things :
1- side skirts
2- carbon tail light to make the circle appear >
3- suspension to lower the car ....

[/QUOTE]

thanks,
i would love to get carbon fibre side skirts, but i am having trouble finding them, and i love the lights on the blue mazdaspeed, just wondering what type they are and where to get them.
my car is a series 8 , and i still have the 99spec rear lights, maybe i will put them back on to compare. FDs are very rare in Australia, so sourcing aftermarket parts is a nightmare.
Suspension is next, got to save up though.

Thanks in advance.
Thx...I don' t have that many downloadable vids. Just a google vid (http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...80518109&hl=en), a vid someone took while gridding (http://s68.photobucket.com/albums/i1...t=MOV00299.flv), and this vid of Steve Kan doing a tune (http://encompass-tech.com/photogalle...l_06-03-26.wmv).



WOW to the blue colour!!!

Wow there are some very well taken care of FD's here.

Finally had a chance to wash and wax, so here's some pics of mine; a bit stock looking but I like it that way...

^ Beautiful! Very clean and nicely modded. There is absolutely nothing wrong with stock look. Stock lines on the FD is one of he best designs of any car today and past...says a lot for a 13+ year old car!

P.S. ...I envy that you had beautiful weather to be able to wash the car. I'm itching to wash mine but it's been rainy past couple weeks...as we're entering hurricane season unfortunately.

Beautiful. I love the Yokohama Advan wheels. I was seriously considering a set a few years back when I had my last 7. Again very sweet.

Shine (a forum sponsor) offers a copy of Feed's side skirts in CF. He ships outside the U.S. also. You might want to send him a PM. I know he was just offering a group buy on the CF feed items they produce.

Beautiful engine bay. Clean lines. Looks good. I'd consider lowering it a bit to kinda fill in the wheel well gap, other than that I like it a lot.

Well, with the hood closed!

Thanks Phil and everyone else! Yea the weather here has been great but it's getting hotter every day.

As for lowering it, it actually needs some wider tires. There's only 1 inch between the top of the tire and fender. The problem is that the fronts are only 225's and rears are 265's; that's what came with them when my wife bought them for me.

When these wear out, I will roll the fenders a little and install 245's front and 285's rear since the rims will support them.

I see. I guess I'm just used to mine....no gap at all. Maybe a bit too low since the rear diffuser is only about 1 inch high and scraps at even the THOUGHT of a bump
