Anyone here know who machines endplates in the Welly / lower NI area?

That one has been for sale forever

Group C flares - smaller than the Katayama circuit racing ones. Someone in Malaysia was selling metal ones for a while, and I think some ended up over here for various projects? Someone will have them gathering dust in the shed.

here's an old site started by @MRRX2U many moons ago. Follow it through and there's links to some old rotaries that might be familiar to some of you on here.
I think Hayden is on the Kapiti coast now, into Beemers... no more RXs. Not seen him for years

Sounds right, I think it headed up that way after I moved it along...

Yep great memories,
They weren't that sought after back in the day - took a while to sell... could leave it anywhere and no one would think about nicking it. Had lots of fun trying to work out the top speed, but on stock suspension was not a great handler... took it to a club day at Teretonga for some circuit racing... passed all the Datto's on the main straight, and then they would pass me on the twisty bits. Agree re the interior, real shame, it's not ideal... finding a stock interior will be next to impossible. Regardless, it is a cool car - if you ever decide to sell drop me a line lol
If you want any more pic's of it, drop me a line.

I owned this RX4, twice
- picked it up in a car yard, North Road Invercargill in 1986 with bugger all K's and one owner who was a heavy smoker (took ages to clean the inside and get the smell out). Came in Alexandrite Gold Metallic (awesome polished and in the sun) and was like a new one! In amazing shape and was a cool ride compared to the other cars I was looking at (Escort Sport and the like) with the wrap around dash and overhead console - so quiet and smooth, rev'ing to infinity and beyond.
Had some great times, trashed it as you do - upgraded to a stock 13B out of an RX5 (with the torque converter/manual 5 speed). When the kids started to show up it was sold (around 1989 or 90?) and picked up an RX3 sedan as the daily.
Shifted to Welly in 1991, and in the late 90's tracked it down again and made an offer (was sitting in a shed unused). The 13B was on the last legs and it was rolling on hotwires... A 'Peter Hopkin's' 13b stage 2 with an IDA, and some rust fixed around the door hinge and we were rolling again. Stock interior and paint, but someone had upgraded the front disc's. Sold it a couple of years later for $6,500 I think... big mistake, should have kept it in the shed. Enjoy!!

Any predictions for the misfire brotaryvan north island tour... starting this weekend I think... Billy has an ambitious trip lined up, getting to Welly and back will be an effort

There's a bloke up my way (Te Horo) who stores things in a long-decommissioned chicken shed (concrete floor, well cleaned out) for $20 a week. I have one of mine in there. It's getting fairly full but he may have room for another.
I am in the process of shifting to Te Horo... awesome place - and a few classics tucked away from what I have seen

I'm struggling to look after my three or four vehicles to make sure they are driven enough to keep things fresh. It'd be a full time job keeping even half of those in running order fuel/brakes-wise.
This might be a different thread, but what is the ideal sized collection... I have the same issue rotating the fleet for some road time. Collecting is one thing, keeping them road ready is another.

I'm on that side also and if you take an 8 owner for a drive in a 7 they lose their mind.
The 8 handles better than the 7 (even better than an MX5)... but the 7 is faster, and way nicer on the eye.
You do get a lot of fun for the price of an RX8 (just not the street cred, if that is your thing).

Will there ever be an RX8 day?

There was an identical one to this that went from Nelson to Mazda Aussie... maybe 8 or so years back... original but had rust issues and it was restored... they reckon the one above has original paint??
