Sexy Red Rexy

I really like the black wheels but maybe as solid black rather than black and red? It's mad to think that when you have something that looks this good as it stands now, that you can start to think about improving it

Tyres and alignment would be musts with that power. Looking forwards to seeing this so much

Improvement is down to personal taste of course however the interior in my opinion needs some attention and as I feel this car will be a keeper for a while I want it right...... RX7 interior build quality is not the best quality to start with so I feel I can only improve it.
With regards to wheel alignment too true an absolute must. ....but will wait till the new boots are on it first...I am really looking forward to cracking on with this project.
Stu I will be in touch as I need to have a chat about getting the leather seats back to tip top condition its not ripped but bolsters have been scuffed.

Then I will get it four wheel aligned to ensure its all pointing the right direction as it did feel a bit twitchy on my way home but I think that was just down to crap tyres and wet conditions.
Hopefully pay a visit to Jimmys at hoveton and get some of the bits I need.
I'm not sure about the wheels on the car at the moment or more to the point with them being black I might get them done a different colour......
Anyway there will be loads to do over the next few months I want to get the dash flocked too....performance wise I will probably leave it as it is for a while until I get used to it them maybe push it up to 1 bar. .....

If you ever sell the wheels I might be interested :-)

Dont praise it for more than its worth mate, the plastics are sht !! Mine rattle, squeek etc. Pretty shocking really but then most Jap cars around this era are rubbish compared to the German equivalents.

Still can't get over that noise mate

Thats one of the reasons I want to take everything out and get it flocked then put it all back together without it rattling etc......
