new car

well, after finally giving up on my car, i sold it for a very reasonable price, and am in negotiations to buy....... another seven......

hahahah, i couldnt help myself i swear, i just happened to stumble on a 1995 rx7 sp (an australian special model.) anyway its completely stock at the moment and ill probably keep it that way cept for this incredibly ugly wing on it.

anyway, here is some more info on the sp model;

Introduction
An Australian developed limited edition model is released and set to compete in the local Australian GT Production Car Series. Body changes include a revised nose cone with a lower airdam and side brake air vents and bonnet inlet and exhaust air vents, all part of a new cold air induction system. This includes a carbon fibre air box and ducting. The body also has side guard air exit vents, larger wheels and tyres, a raised rear deck spoiler made from carbon fibre and modified larger exhaust system. Identifying decals for these 25 exclusive vehicles are fitted to the BBS design alloy wheel hub centres and on the rear panel. For the interior, optional fibreglass Recaro sports seats are available.
Mechanical
More powerful 13B engine is fitted to the heavily revised engine bay. Modifications include the use of a new larger intercooler and associated ducting, a lightweight flywheel, new headers and a 75mm exhaust system and an upgraded cooling system which includes a larger radiator. A special aerodynamic wing located under the engine is used to help extract cooling air. Compression ratio: 9.0:1 Maximum power is increased to 204kW @ 6500rpm. Maximum Torque: 357Nm @ 4600rpm Final drive ratio is set at a taller 4.3:1 (usually 4.1:1) and the fuel tank capacity increased from 76 to 110 litres in a lightweight carbon fibre tank. The four wheel disc brakes have been enlarged to 310mm. Alloy wheels are a composite BBS style.

Carbon fiber gas tank, how does that work. The petrol doesn't eat away at the resin?
