Talking With love from Thailand

Hi everyone, My name is Kar. I lived in Bangkok.
First, sorry for my English it is not good.
Please to meet you all.

This is my first RWD drive car.
My 13B Rew is in a Mazda RX4
Still couldn't get it running though.

thank you so much everyone.
For Chad : The blue one belong to my long time friend since high school and here are more pic of this beauty, Oh and she's running with 13B FC3S N/A

There ain't much rotary maintenance services and parts here in Thailand and it is very hard for me to order it abroad, also the prices.
Thailand imported car taxes is 300% Ha Ha
So,i'm looking forward to one day go to Australia and Japan.

I really like your friend's blue car. It must be so expensive to own a rotary in Thailand though. I visit there every year and plan on moving there in 2 years so I am aware of how expensive the automotive industry is there. I might just import my miata, but I also plan to start a VIP build as my first project over there.

Nice to know you Mr.Daze.
Glad to know that someone know about the automotive industry in Thailand.
But for others brand of car such as Honda and Toyota, you'll find that that parts prices is cheap because we're the exporter on that. But after last year the flood crisis took away all large 5 Honda factory and same thing for Toyota. But rotary parts still can't be found in Thailand.
But the funny thing is you can buy 13B FD3S and 13B FC3S engine for just less than 900-1000$

Are you moving to Bangkok, if it is.
i'm looking forward to see the MX5 in VIP style.
One thing i know about VIP style my friends just but a Hydraulic shock up system for his Toyota camry and it just cost around 900$. not expensive right.

oh nooo, haha, I won't be doing the mx5 in VIP. Will keep the MX5 as my night time fun toy. There are so many big sedans to make VIP for cheap there, so I'm not sure which I will choose. But hope I can join VIPcar Thailand as soon as possible. Hope to move to bangkok as my girlfriend lives in the Pasicharoen area. I'll join you rotary guys at night time with my mx5 for cruising fun

Look for my new introduction thread when the mods approve it, and you can see my mx5. Hope to have a 20b FD soon

Seat are comfortable in straight way, but one time I enter the corner around 60 KM/h and i hit a bump on the road then my *** were on the E-brakes. HaHa
I don't know how to say it properly but it is slippery, i believe that it's because of it has no edge brim to lock and keep your *** from moving side to side[left and right].

Here are more of the pictures and the last one was taken around two years ago.
