Thanks guys. Thank you for all the comments. I got my car painted from the Hyundai Dealer in Bangladesh. They used KANSAI paint, a Japanese paint manufacturer. The paint code is SU (mazda). The orange peel is almost nil and there are no pin holes (happens a lot in Bangladesh due to the weather)

a2zpcwiz : thanks for your advice. I'll definately look into it. They look fantastic.

ulost2my7: LOL, funny you noticed. I had the HKS end. However with my DP (1998) and my knightsport CAT my boost was going up a little high. So i took the HKS off and bought it this from a local exhaust shop. It sounds fantastic and does a great job of keeping my boost under control.

driFDer : i know the offset is wrong. I have a set of Mazdaspeed MS-01, waiting to put them on.

Thanks guys!!!

An RX-7 in Bangladesh......wOw..That has to be the biggest news i have ever heard in my life. Reason i say this is because i am originally from Pakistan, and i have never seen an rx-7 back home. And as far as i know things are alot more worse in Bangladesh than back home. I am not saying that Pakistan is any better than Bangladesh, but it just blows my mind that there is such an amazing machine there . I hope you dont take it the wrond way, coz i didn't mean any disrespect to your country or anything like that...How much did it cost you to import it there if you don't mind me asking?

It's TUKKA (not sure if i spelled it right) . I think a US dollar is equivalent to about 60 to 65 Tukkas..

Thanks a lot guys for the wonderful comments. And yes the currency is called Taka. $1= Tk.65 (fluctuates often).

My engine is completely stock. I did ground it myself. (Damain's photo helped me a lot, thanks to him).

I have a Koyo radiator ready to go in and am waiting on my alu AST. I use the OEM plugs and the OEM filter. I intend to keep it as stock as possible. Just the reliability mods.

I wanna keep the car clean and take good care of it. Thats about it.

I'll take some daytime photos and post it later.

Thanks again!!

harris69: Yea, Bangladesh is an underdeveloped 3rd world country. However certain sector of the population has a lot of money. There are BMW, MERC, PORSCHE dealers now. I know people who has ferrari, CL55 AMG, S2000, RX8, EVO VIII, SL500, HUMMERS, RANGE ROVERS, EVO VI, PORSCHE GT3, The new M3, Porche cainne turbo, 350z's, SILVIA, JAGS etc. 5 series and 7 series X5 are everwhere. Sadly there aren't any rotary tuners nor any dynos. Am hopeful to see such setups in the near future. DUTY is extremely high.

A rx7 2002 model would cost 47000 USD roughly, low milage, however thats only with the duty on a 1300CC, now imagine a 3L or even a 6L Hummer.

Thanks for the insight, Tahmid. You are right about other make cars, as i have witnessed a few myself, but never an RX-7, or any other rotary cars for that matter. On the same note, i was thinking about taking my 95 FD base back, but found out that there is a 300 % duty on anything you import, and that just ruined my whole plan. Oh well! may be one day when i get enough money saved up, i will load up my 7, and Porsche 928 S4 on the ship, and take 'em with me.

Tayyab.
