Yeah definitely being used on English roads would need a thorough look over on a hoist ect. Give it a compression test too 

Need to see it in the flesh to see what it’s really like, wouldn’t mind having it over here for a year or so then potentially bring it back the next time come home. 

where you at maxted ?

if in uk, town and county ?

link to rx7 advert ?

Very nice, love series 2's

Even the oldies getting in on the Mazda tax lol

Good.

 

Still worth going to check out the FC though.

Keh ?

Link to fc advert ?

Hard to see, looks like northern Ireland registration

Buy it to have fun in it in UK.

Then leave it in UK.

Re blue series 4 rx7

Its not worth buying, even for yourself.

Define not worth bringing to nz

UK cars are to rusty for nz, they rust from inside out.

Cost thousands to repair rust to pass nz standards.

Let it rot in UK.

Its a full strip to bare metal and repair, repaint to pass nz, especially underneath, body and suspension etc.

Trust me. I have 10 UK rx7 and rx8. 

Wouldn't even bring a UK rx8 back to nz

RX4 13B, Monster J-Port, dowelled, S4 13BT rotors and 3mm slotted, 3mm one piece apex seals, S5 stat gears 3 windowed and machined oil groove in stat gears, high volume oil pump, crankshaft cross drilled and oil grooves machined deeper, a few other internal modifications, all engine parts new except plates and crankshaft and rotors, twin plate, injection 1000cfm 4 barrel, 1680 injectors x4, 1/2" NASCAR braided fuel lines, custom alloy tank with built in surge pot, sx pumps x2, sx fpr, microtech, GMC 4/71 3" belts

Pffft.. Hater.

 

alright alright calm down calm down :P

oh shucks :D thanks

yes, me not likey the rx4 series 3 front,

could be, maybe maybe could be growing on me, nah

Is it weird, I kinda like the fugly series 3 front on a sedan, define don't on a coupe though.

Oooh more details

Decided, rx4 coupe series 2, have to get one when back in nz

Was planning either JC Cosmo or rx4 for my 4rotor, 

Then seen someone already done JC Cosmo with 4rotor

So now define rx4 coupe. 

Should have bought the fugly series 3 rx4 when was young, but pulled out, regret lol

Only RX I haven't owned except rx5 which is slowly growing on me lol

R100, doubt I'll afford one of them now with prices lol

Starting to like 50's and 60's fords, wish Mazda had some cool ones

^^That'll certainly push it along

And for show and tell...I've nearly finished my 12a twin diz Bridgey build, lots of mods, but point was for it to look factory(ish)

 

 

very cool airfilter housing

the bearings in the solid engine mounts look stuffed though

Thanks mate, have gone the crate motor route though. Was hoping it'd show up while I was still in auckland, but no such luck...

heads up,

make sure you get the oil cooler/s cleaned, flowed, tested etc

get rid of the old oil and filings etc, most people forget this, which ends up in premature engine failure

also, oil coolers can get blocked, causing low oil pressure etc

also, oil lines etc

also, a solid oil pellet, a must

make sure engine is vertical when fitting, so needle bearings dont move and get jammed in wrong place,

again, another problem that causes premature engine failure

make sure, engine wiring loom is fully checked over, get a bit brittle and wiring breaks and connectors etc

you can get new connectors for them

usual, new thermostat, injectors cleaned flowed tested, injector seals/orings, check ignition leads and coils

upgrade oil pressure regulator to adjustable one, racing beat do a good priced one or old school mazda one

bosch 044 pump, malpassi/turbosmart fpr, remove the factory pulsation damper on primary rail, so fuel pressure doesnt fluctuate etc

^^^ oh thats good you knew about it before purchase

thought it was unexpected

Previous owner-san "What's that knocking sound? Better give it some more revs"

 

is that from the rx7 fd you just bought/imported ?

that sux, sorry to hear :(

did it not come with a compression test before you bought it ?

^^^ yeah, i think anyone would have to be really rich and seriously stupid to buy it for that price, $7,200

Healthy profit of $6k added for this - sold a month ago for $1500

is it just me, or seriously optimistic  lol

considering the price, $7,200, needing fair bit of body work, especially the roof r/h/s gutter, not even running or driving

its a rolling shell

ugly series 3 front

biggest point, its a 929 not an rx4 too

youd think, for the increase in price, some work would have been done, like fitting a running engine and have it driving and wof for that price lol

^^^ like button for the x2 series 4's

@kyteler

thanks

RX7, FD, 13BTT, for factory intercooler

estimate price for these in nz ?
