I have been looking around for a very long time, and I posted a few times but I realised I never introduced myself properly.

I am French, now back in France after 4 years in Australia.
My first car was a Peugeot 309, then I had several company cars (VW Golfs, Ford Falcon, now Audi A4 avant), but my first pleasure car was an RX-8 231, sold when I left for Australia.
Back in France for a year and a half now, I purchased exactly a year ago a RX-7 sold in France in 1982.

I realise today I have already put more money in the car than what I paid for it (4000€ was purchasing price, including tons of spares from a second donnor, including an 40k miles 12A), which is OK for a decent RX7 here.

Since, I have changed:
- all bushings for PU
- RB springs and Tokico blue
- all steerings tierods and other wear parts
- complete RB exhaust (street)
- OMP gone, premixing
- oil cooler replaced
And tons of other things.

I am finishing the winter upgrade this week, and hopefully I should be driving for the week end!

The next big target is going to Le Mans Classic this summer with the Mazda French Club.

 

Welcome, good luck with the winter upgrade and hope you get it back on the road soon.

 

IMHO, putting more money and time into these car is what makes them special. Congrats and enjoy.
