Better late than never, rotary fan from France, ex-RX-8, now in RX-7 S2
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.
