No offence. I understand that prices are sky-high in Scandinavian countries.

I payed 25.000$ for my 1992 RHD RX7 FD and you payed only 7.000$ for you'rs
Well mine costs 9-10.000$ in Japan but after I'm done with paint, bodykit, IC, BC, tax, shipping costs, paying the dud that imports it for me etc. it will cost me 25.000$Btw, where in Europa do you live?

paint? bodykit? steering wheel?
Dude your priorities are all out of whack. Do the neccasary upgrades first (ECU, radiator, vacuum hoses, etc.) and it'll be a much more pleasant ownership experience.

Read my posts again.
I'm gettin an custum made alu radiator. Unless I get one for less then 550$ thats good.
I'm gonna change all the vacuum hoses, they only cost around 400$ right?
And ECU (or brain/computer as we call it in Norway will also be changed) Couldnt get the B. C. with out that could I?
The reason I didn't write all that too begin with was because I look at that as a matter of course.
And again you have to excuse my bad english.

Hi Ole
Welcome to the forum. One more bad-*** rotary on European streets.
Check first if running properly (this comes almost from the bottom of my heart!) before doing any mods. And then proceed as following:
- Downpipe (replacing pre-cat)
- Boost Gauge
- Vacuum and coolant hose job
Maybe you have them on, maybe I did not see sth. you wrote about the current condition of your car.
But if not on the proper running car leave other mods alone. Just for engine's sake
One more thing: That car is COSTY. Therefore go for quality when buying parts. Be prepared to spend a decent amount of money.
I live in Switzerland (which is also not too inexpensive) and I made my experiences...
Proper running FD = need to be rich and wealthy.
Just my $.02
cheers&good luck

I hope it's downpipe, elbow etc on the car but I'm not shure, off course I'll get it if it isn't alredy fitted.
I'm pretty shure ther's a boost gauge on it but it's also a boost gauge on the Boost Controller I'm buying.
I'm no wankel expert, but the guy that imports the car for me will help me with conditon check when we get the car too Norway. He will also help me change the apexi seals(if necessary) and if there is any other problems. But like I said, the japps ashured me that the car is in good condition. And of course i woun't tune it or any thing if the engine isn't in good condition.
And again, the vacuum hoses will ALL be changed
It woun't be a bad-*** rotary. I'll only go for around 320HP
The Boost Controller I'm getti'n:

Also, I would suggest to you, for looking in the UK for RX7:

Better choice and you can go and see it for yourself.
