I can't believe you, Brits love the FD Rx7 so much! If I lived there I'd get that TVR Cerbera 4.5! Talk about a bad dog, the TVR Cerbera must be wicked tuff to paper train http://www.parvinder.dk/cars/cerbera45.html

Nice Type RZ FD Rx7 tho

Believe it or not, the FD is more reliable than the tvr.
The tvr's are lighting quick and sound fantastic, yet there in the garage more often than an fd now that saying something. Oh approx $65,000 might have something to do with it aswell. lol

I Know 2 brothers here in Denmark and They both have TVR's. One is a Griffith 500 and the other a Chimaera. I have seen both cars spend more time in the garage than on the road. They have to take them to Rover dealers to be worked on. Both TVR's were a bit quicker when my car was stock....not anymore.

Nice seeing a photo of your car..Brian. Are you still thinking of about getting a M2 intake?

How much did that thing set you back? Of course you live in England so I would have to find out how to convert it into US dollars. Man that is sweet. I want a right hand drive! I used to have Japanese GSR integra but I sold that for my FD. Don't regret it one bit! You truley are lucky!

Your petrol is a lot cheaper over there though.
The car cost me £11,500 a 98 touringx model with 26,000 miles on the clock. The kit in total inc fitting was approx £2000. car insurance £2,500 and approx £80 per week on petrol. Ouch

Kit looks good Brian, is the first time I've seen it- which kit is it? Black is a pain is the *** to keep clean isn't it!!

Thats a pretty good price you paid for it too, but at least I only spend about £40 a week on petrol!!

Pictures are not the best, but I have great problems trying to post them on this forum for some reason. Kit is
Mazdaspeed rear spoiler knightsports front end and re-amemiya side skirts.
It a right pain to keep clean, no sooner is it washed and sparkling then it's filthy again hence the local car wash love me. I'll try and post some better ones again in a couple of weeks when I get my new wheels fitted.

Dude, I dunno if youd wanna move to England . . . true they have WAAAYY better cars to choose from over there, but could u afford to run one? Gas is like 4X more expensive over there (but it IS higher octane at least), and cars are simply way more expensive to run and insure and everything. New cars cost on average $10k more there even after u convert the price to dollars. Plus their weather sucks and its really crowded and congested there. Not dissin the Brits that are on here at all, just showing its not car lovers paradise. But at least u Brits don't have the goddamn SUV obsession Americans do!

BTW I heard the latest TVRs, like the Tuscan, are more reliable, is this true?

Peace
