NL New member from The Netherlands 1st gen Rx-7

Hello,

I'm Erik Ophof and live in Dalen.

I'm a owner of a 1st gen Rx-7 from 1985 it was my first rideable car witch i bought in 1999 with a worn clutch. Because i'm a car mechanic i had no trouble replacing it and drove the car with lots of joy until one day on the freeway the gearlever started to shake and a topseal was broken from the rear rotor this ment a complete rebuilt. So wat has to be done must be done but i didn't dare to do it myself and eurorotor did the rebuilt with new housings and a pair of used rotors. Now it has already done about 40.000km and still going strong.

When i bought my second car i didn't want to get rid of the Rx and i placed it in my garage and took it apart til the last bolt and welded al the rusted parts(it took my 6 years in total).after that I'm driving it now for 3 years and do enjoy it very much.

some mods i've installed in the last few years:
Racingbeat airfilter housing
Racingbeat long primary exhaust
Racingbeat suspention pakkage
Polyurathane bushings in all the chassis
Tockico illumina shocks 5 way adjustible
