new car

[jazza]

just picked up my dream car the other day after years of wanting one, not a subbie but have my RS parked in the shed at home still enjoy...

[Todd]

Looks good man, always had a soft spot for the 7's

[jazza]

yeah man same with me, my wallets now soft and empty after filling her up...$120 but oh so worth it

[QRAF]

is it twin or single turbo? has it been rebuilt lately if so who by?

yeah they love the gas its just to bad i'm to tall to ever own one well without removing the back seat and remounting the front seats.

[Divine]

Ahh a 13b rotangalang

[G-unit]

nice, the fuel tank must be why theres no room in the back of them ahaha,

[jazza]

its still twin turbo, standard boost...has apexi pod filters, fmic, aftermarket muffler, tein adjustables, full kit, and the 19's. hasnt been rebuilt to my or the previous owners knowledge but has good compression. was imported at 77,xxxkms by fast fours and turbos and the guy i bought it off has owned it since then. has now done 88,000kms. just changed the oil and filter and got all fluids checked. oil was still clean as so thats a good sign. its also a series 7 not a 6 so a little but newer

I'm sure i saw this down norton road in hamilton today when i was going home at around 4.45ish pm

I by no means the biggest of guys and found them to be crampt as buggery inside, I could barely move my legs with out hitting them on the door or center pod. Other than that they go pretty well.

I had a series 6 that was caged and I'm 5 11', once i was in the car there wasn't any moving around!

Cool car though, keep it twin turbo - makes it sooo much driveable.

Q RAF yup you did see it, i waved as i recognised your p plate.

yup once youre sitting in it youre fairly well secured, feels nice having the tunnel so high up with the gear stick nice and race car feeling

[Guest boostcut]

are you sure its a 7 and not a series 8? the front bumper gives them away, but are easily changed...

also, they corrode badly in the water jackets, and then the compression/water quadring falls out, and you have a fountain out the exhaust

[jazza]

yup its a series 7 but has the series 8 kit on it. hmm fountain out the exhaust would make a nice water feature in my garden...car prob drive too far like that tho. itll be my weekend car and maintenance will be high priority. ill save for a rebuild because it will need to be done at some stage.

ive always luved the look of these mazdas...until i tryed to sit in one at a dealer...almost knocked myself out trying to get in....the door sill clipped/smashed the side of my head trying to sit into it...lol...didnt help im 6 ft 3..still luv the look just need a supersize version..lol :D

[QRAF]

my mate says there really hard to rebuild but that might be cause the guy went to a single turbo.

he has agentoj its a camo orange rx2 and he's rebuilt quiet a few rotory engines on his lounge table for other people.

[jazza]

theyre a nice samll engine to get out, ive heard they are eastv to rebuild with help of a tutorial but have to take your time to make sure everything is clean as. i suppose ill find out one day
