I would have got it off the person who bought it off that guy. The couple who I bought it off had owned it about 18 months. Each time it has been advertised it sits on trademe a while. Been down south I think stopped a lot of potential buyers, plus being a 929 wagon too haha. Quote

Cant drive the damn thing for another week or two, so won't be at the burger boes this month. Next month for sure though Quote
danger Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 Nice. I'll see if I have the sill chrome but I doubt it 1 Quote

Decided to go down the dx rota road? Quote
oldrx7 Posted August 22, 2016 Author Posted August 22, 2016 Why did they sell? Decided to go down the dx rota road? haha maybe! Mrs didnt like the kids being in the back with no seatbelts, & they had another 'weekend' car , too many toys etc. worked out fine for me! Quote
kyteler Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayte. The XR-4's look so much nicer. Well played, sir. 2 Quote
oldrx7 Posted September 4, 2016 Author Posted September 4, 2016 Thanks! Was stoked to find them. The widening may take some time as that equals fairly serious $$$, from what I was quoted from Pine Engineering, but will see how much I can weasel away over the next few months. Quote
kyteler Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Keep your peepers open for wides from Japan too, may end up cheaper or simply may end up with multiple sets of shoes for it, which isn't a bad thing. 2 Quote
oldrx7 Posted September 6, 2016 Author Posted September 6, 2016 True true, keep an eye out. Funnily enough there were some Mk2's for sale on trademe. But I think I'd rather get one set done right, rather than keep accumulating wheels that all need a little bit of work. I've got the wheels it came with, I've got some Tridens, plus the XR4's. I think going 7" wide on the front and 8" on the back should look pretty decent 1 Quote
danger Posted September 6, 2016 Posted September 6, 2016 Nice, check your guard gap either side, my diff was weirdly offset from centre. 1 Quote
sr1600 Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 Nice wagon would mind one myself. what sort of dollars do the lsd's fetch these days , I remember buying a second hand unit for around $800 nearly ten years ago. 1 Quote
oldrx7 Posted October 9, 2016 Author Posted October 9, 2016 Thanks man, would probably swap it for your rx2 if you want haha This is the 26 spline one out of a Series 3 rx7, and got it for $500, but getting some 24 spline side gears from MSF racing so it's going to be a bolt in job. will probably owe me about $8-900 by the time it's done, thought about a b1600 type upgrade, but I'd end up spending about the same and meh, fairly sure it'll be strong enough, not really going for huge wide max grip tyres on this anyways. When I had my 808 (2007) I bought a drum to drum 24 spline lsd for $1000, pretty sure they'd still be the same-ish price? Quote
sr1600 Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 Rx2 one has the 45 degree ramps in it so an aftermarket mazda unit , God damn are they fun with the brap pedal down. Funny how worth the same dollars as ten years ago Get those wheels widened up , rx4 seem to have big wheel arches 1 Quote
oldrx7 Posted October 9, 2016 Author Posted October 9, 2016 ah nice, could be a bit more aggressive than a factory one then! yep wheels is next on the list once the diff is done, gotta little more $ to save up before il send them away , is your rx2 on the road? getting to any of the events this summer? Quote
sr1600 Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Summer? Isn't summer almost over already I'm need to give the motor a quick refresh but looking at moving house again..................................till then a little car waits. 1 Quote
Bistro Posted November 24, 2016 Posted November 24, 2016 Gonna be tight! Gonna be perfect more like!! 1 Quote
oldrx7 Posted November 25, 2016 Author Posted November 25, 2016 cheers mate , had a used 185/60 dummy fitted onto the 7.5's and a 205/60 onto the 8's. think il go with the 185's all round, should clear the rear lips that way 1 Quote
