    004 (the rx-7)

    Absolutely nothing to do with the williams, but I'd thought I'd post up the recent transformations of the rx-7 just for a change in scenery ....

    Its been awesome fun 'modding' the car - even a complete mechanical dimwit like me can get involved and make a positive difference (following a few negative ones to start with)

    Its all starting to come together now as you can see :D

    Unfortunately the next performance upgrade means i have to sell a kidney, but thats something to ponder about for a while ...

    Here is a list of the mods that have been done since the new engine went in:

    Momo race steering wheel and gear knob
    Blitz oil & water temp & boost gauge
    Apexi power fc ecu, tuned at re:worx
    refurbed Arc induction kit
    17" mazdaspeed split rims dressed in carbon fibre
    Feed spoiler
    Mazda splitter
    Clear indicators/reflectors
    Iridium spark plugs

    Although I miss the williams, this car is a good move should any of you guys be wanted to move up a league in performance, which is great for the money.

    Tis a lovely car though - but too expensive for my tastes.

    £9k - very expensive, esp without engine rebuild!
    £5k - very expensive for an engine rebuild! (sounds like you mate had a tough time, very good looking example though!)

    as for the last point .... could not be more right
