Dweamy RX-7

[Darren S]

I would love this. No doubt when things started to go wrong, it would make the mortgage on a 10-bedroom mansion seem cheap.

But - just to have it until then! :blush:

f**k, only 16 grand for a limited edition RX-7??

What sort of money are people asking for Trophy's right now??

They are a proper attainable dream car for me but I just don't know if I could bring myself to buy one. The worry they must come with would surely sour the experience.

They really are one of the best 90's cars though.

The worry would be an intrinsic part of the ownership experience. Imagine being able to have one though and shrug your shoulders at an engine rebuild. Must be great!

There's nothing like it though. Twin rotors, twin turbos. Unique noise. Similar thirst to something much higher in capacity. It wouldn't shock me that the younger generation would not have a clue as to what it is.

Awesome car.

I pass a mint looking blue one on my way to work, on someones driveway

 

[CrippsCorner]

f**king love these things, but just too old and too expensive I think now! Absolutely classics though.

Dangerous finance available. Try explaining that to the Mrs

Or just divorce and await for the 35 YO ex car cruise bonnet laying panty droppers to ask for a ride in your sexy rexy

Yes would be nice to not worry about engine rebuilds! Although I don't think they are quite as expensive as they once were for a basic rebuild.

Certainly an engine with great character, it's a real shame they can't make rotarys work for the wider market as they are something special

The explanation to the wife is the easy part. She would just want to know when she could drive it!

There's an elegance to its simplicity for me...

 

[OssPoop]

I'd love an RX7, they make me want to wankel [emoji1]

 

[Darren S]

Three rotor - so not RX-7 stock lump (aside from the insane turbocharger bolted on as well) - but far more entertaining that the Stephen Hawking in a fish tank video I posted earlier....

Just need sound and fast forward to about 4.40...

 

[Christopher]

That's epic.

Lol !

 

[Darren S]

When you fancy something new for the house key-ring and you just happen to have a 3D printer at work...... :tongueout:

Done using the 0.4mm nozzle - could get higher definition with the 0.2mm one.

 

[Euan94]

That's cool, and very well timed considering its 'Sevens day' in Japan today.

 

[Iain C]

To think i sold my UK spec car (1 of 123) for 3k :-(
Was more than i paid for it mind.
Mine was great. Hardly gave me any grief.

Would probably make Evo ownership seem like owning a Jazz.

Id say even
3k oil change?

4.5K or 6.5 seconds.

Whichever is sooner.

 

[New2RS]

Sweet as a nut. Love a good rice rocket.

 

[Darren S]

Watched this earlier. If only I had pockets deep enough to keep this four-rotor lovely going! :hearteyes:

 

[cat171]

The yellow one I saw driving around last week looked quite nice, it had one white headlight cover It did have a Japanese dude driving it though

 

[Darren S]

I watched over 40 minutes worth of rotary-based YT clips during the weekend.

I think I might be getting a little obsessed.... :smile:

 

[Darren S]

A great 7 minute or so summary of the Rexy....
