love rx7's one of the best looking cars ever made and i think its one of the few cars that can get away with three spoke alloys, charlies little helper its a twin turbo rotary engine 1.3, awesome but unfortunately they need a full rebuild at 60k miles which is not cheap.

I'll be honest, i hated the three spokes before i got it, but they really have grown on me and relatively easy to clean which is a bonus lol elf haha

Its a twin turbo 1.3 rotary engine as neill70 said elf haha - they need a rebuild every 60k and need oil topping up every other tank of fuel (probably less if you used it more sympathetically but mines a weekend toy) but i love it - £120 a year tax too elf haha Running approx 350bhp at the fly at a guess

nice looking bit of car alex. also nice to c you back on the site. khris has said you had one  well it's a nice bit of :bling
elf haha hadn't forgotten about the site just not been about much really heh but will ensure to keep popping on elf haha

Ran it at shakey today and it ran a 13.0 - best in class in the street drag series (13-14 sec bracket) so i got myself a nice trophy Cheesy

Lovely car the Mazda RX7, great performance and looks to go too, rotary engine 1.3 and the rotary tech is fantastic, but unforgiving when they go wrong loadsa ££££££££. What ever you do don't put the fully racing sinthetic oil in, my mate did that and it ruined the engine. Complete rebuild!

Mineral oil all the way, even semi synth can eat away at seals etc not to mention the fact the oil needs topping up regularily elf haha It has a Apexi PFC on it (will post up full spec when get some time) so has all been mapped to be safe for the mods etc - bar the decat which has just gone on recently (knocked 0.4 secs off my 1/4 mile times)

Hi Alex how's it going? Looks like you're moving up in the world. Looks a bit like a viper with those wheels.
