So what do people think of the 1979 Mazda RX7 MFR RACECAR on Trademe at the moment....??

..or it’s because people have seen what idiots in Nz will pay for non rx early Mazda’s. After that 808 sold for $70k the other day seems people have realised the value in selling.

Yep.. I'd say it is definitely driven by that sale. When I saw it I also thought maybe time to sell.... but mine is getting some more steel put into it at the moment, so not great timing. I guess it is one thing for people to be crazy enough to pay that sort of money...and another for those of us that own them to spend so much bloody money keeping them alive..!

What do you mean?

Don't have the photos on Trademe anymore, but the front wheel guards were rolled and looked a bit weird...

That's a big Meccano set!

Hopefully they sort out the front wheel guards situation.....!!!

Also this guy must be jumping on the bandwagon after seeing the other one sell for $70k a couple of days ago. People spending that much on an 808 is beyond me.

I am ok with them spending this sort of money....

did anyone see that white rx808 sedan that popped up on trademe. I think it had a price of $75k. Was only listed for a day or two. Wonder if it sold?

Badge/emblem tape 

3m does a good one

Might look nicer if you flatten the back off with some jbweld first if it's all wonky

Yeah they are pretty wonky. Thanks re JB weld steer.

Id probably use urethane and masking tape to hold them long enough to dry , however you would probably not get them off again with damaging the paint.

I have a pair of these found them the other day.

yeah they are quite heavy units. Thanks.

Ok so there is probably a better page for this... but it is related to an Rx2 coupe so here goes. Any ideas on the best product to affix the rx2 antler badges on the C-pillar? The ones I got from PAC-Performance are concave and not quite flat around the edges... so its probably going to be a little tricky.

Some HB inspiration for me

[photo removed]

 

I have always liked these...ever since I was a young'un. Now I have some HB inspiration also!

Imagine a screaming 20 PP in one of these. I guess there will be a couple floating around somewhere. I recall a red HB set up as a race-car somewhere in NZ...

Yeh I had planned on going to wander around and take some pics, but sick child and house work took priority.  The weathers been typical August weather for Chrome for at least the last 2 years.

I think the Rotary only day in October with free competitor entry has taken some shine off the pay $xxx for the weekend events.

 

Yip… Impulsive day looks good and we’’ll definitely head to King of the Rotaries. We’ll have a few cars there. Hope the weather is good…!

Yep,

Didnt take any photos though haha.

To be honest the rotary turnout was way less than normal. the rotary only cruise on sunday only had maybe 30 cars? In previous years its had a heap more than that.

I guess the weather didnt help...

Did anyone go to Chrome..? Any good RX photos?

Does anyone in Auckland take their rota to caffeine and classics? Am thinking of going this weekend if the weather is good.

2 x 20B PP's was pretty damn cool to see & hear on Saturday night

 

 

yeah both sounded horn... made my 13B PP sound like a toyota corolla in comparison...

We’ll be there yep will try catch up

Oh...only just saw this. What car did you take? Was a reasonable turnout. Was a nice 20B PP there. And 20B Cosmo which I kept going back to take a look at.

I wish man - first time one is close to home - and I'm in chch for the weekend ffs.

If the weather holds, there will be quite a few cars out though that I know of

Ok cool. I might take the 2 coupe out for a pulse then if there are going to be a few cars there. Just had her dynoed and tuned by Green Brothers and she’s running sweet..!

Anyone going to the Winter Pulse parkup at Mitre 10 Mega Westgate on Saturday 6pm?
