I thought it was quite difficult to have older cars on the road in HK. At least it was 17 years ago (my first son was born there, at Matilda)

yea rx7 in general are quite rare in HK, so driving one makes you feel like youre driving a supercar in other people's eyes (but not for cops, they like to go for you)

Few updates on the car, was really busy with work:

The Original Suspension pretty much took its toll after a few "runs", so i installed Brand new coilovers from JRZ suspension after hearing good stories about them:




And since i was there, My **** really itched so I went ahead and did a full exhaust upgrade with a complete feed exhaust system :O





THEN... and i was like, hmmm since i took the front pipe out and everything is in places.... you know what... fark it, i will go full v-mount... so here we go...






And that's when hell bestowed upon me, the HKS v-mount kit is a ******* nightmare to install, literally nothing fits properly ffs without pulling some shitty bending tricks, especially the AC relocation lines... the idea of cutting the power steering piping off to replace with a rubber hose was...(well i didint like the sound of that and so did my mechanic, so we decided to see what we can make do with the current piping. Worst problem of all, was the ******* height of the radiator fans... with the stock fans, its literally 2-3 inches from the ground... exposed (undertray is pretty much a nono), My mechanic has a mishimoto fan for supra laying around the workshop for a while so we are thinking of doing some modifications to it so it would fit on the radiator... More news to come later i guess, gotta have my coffee first
