Anyone had a go with a Mazda RX7!!!??!!
 

Well, I've been having real fun with my mates Newly bought RX7 today, But unfortunately for me I've also got my fat ass kicked big big time since I owned my STi for almost 6 years.

Well, His RX7 just came out from a Engine rebuilt and it was running something like 495 horses. I have to admit it tho it actually bloodly made my STi like a fxcking bus with like 30 passenger in it... tbh I have never had my my ass kicked like that before... not even a 415 bhp spec C.....:brickwall:brickwall:brickwall:brickwall:bri ckwall

I Just love it!!!:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Erm, even a bus with 495 bhp would be 'kin quick...

dunx

:D

One of my mates has a Black Rex which is quite well known in the Manc area.
It is constantly in having re-build work though, they dont like running that sort of power for long.
It is blisteringly quick though, and the sound of a bridge-ported Rx & Screamer pipe is just rude :)

long been tempted, but don't think i'd ever take the plunge :(

the associated costs just scare me, can only just 'afford' my scoob....

495hp, rear wheel drive :wonder: you'd need a mental Scoob to keep up ... still only a matter of time before it goes off like a bomb ;)

TX.

But imagine the fun, till it does...

dunx

They go through petrol like the tank is a sieve.

They go through oil lie it is petrol :D

They would be great fun to borrow but there is no way I would want to the upkeep of one....

495 ! - is that enough to go uphill ?

A friend of mine bought one, spent serious pennys on it including a big single tubby conversion....once completed he realised he couldnt afford to run it so sold it and bought a classic impreza..:D

But don't they look far better than any 4 door saloon ;)

My friend has a RX7 and he's just completed a 6L V8 installation (yes, that's right - SIX litre V8 :cuckoo: )

He's now in the process of getting the managment sorted, but here's a clip of it firing up in his garage immediately after the transplant... http://www.flickr.com/photos/efiniste/4949564398/ :thumb:

Good god that makes me moist!

The guy is called Steve. By day he's a sensible man who works in a solicitors office. By night in his garage, he's insane (and I love it!). Best bit - I'm getting a passenger ride next weekend :norty:

does seem slightly sacrilegeous

i 'spect its cheaper / more reliable

Yup - he got sick of rebuilding the engine so opted for reliable high power. Handling though could be , errm - interesting...

I still think the RX7 is a seriously good looking car tho.... Not cheap to look after...I love the RX7with Fortune Widebody Kit......sexy...

Sounds like a good idea but the RX7 is a small car designed for a light engine set quite far back from the front axle.
