Hello, new member from the UK.

I've owned a rx8 before but always loved 7s, recently a friend was selling this;


A little history... It was cheap to buy, it's a '93 twin turbo with a hks super dragger exhaust and some aftermarket wheels, that's about it for the sensible-ishness.

For the sillyness; it was imported in '99 and has had 1 MOT to date, which it failed, and the rest of its life it's lived in storage. Now I've bought it as a fixer as its in bits at the moment, gearbox lives in the front seat etc etc etc. But after a look round I think a new battery, fluids, belts, rad and oil cooler should be enough to get it running again. Then I'll be off to a local rotary specialists to get a compression test done, if all is well then off to the sprayshop for some new paint, and if all isn't well then a new engine and then off for a respray.

I must be mad as I bought it pretty much sight unseen, no means of moving it, nowhere to store it and no money to fix it

Wish me luck!

 

Good luck!!

 

That looks like a awesome FD. Hope you do well with it.

 

Thanks very much both, the work has begun!



Just needs plumbing in, the oil cooler chucking in, a coil plug to go in and then all back together with new fluids and belts and fingers crossed!
