10p should get u a reasonable cup....or u could go for a real one and get the 182 for bout £13 G....!

(RUNS AND HIDES!!!)

Oh, and Hi....!
 


Check out the cars for sales section here, some are pretty low and should give you an idea.
 


just having a browse through now

is it easy to get much power out of them,

Currently used to 360Bhp so its a bit of a downgrade and i will have to remember the powers not all there when needed :(

You get as much power out but its expensive

£6k for 250hp turbo.

£3k for 212hp throttle bodies (they you could add head work and cams ontop)

very nice however i have to shift my RX7 first.


Ive heard they shift ok on their own:p
 


my advice would be to get a small runaround, 1.2 clio? just to toutle around in which would be cheap to run, and then keep the RX7 for weekends and occasional blasts around the country :cool:

Hi, and welcome...







The RX7 is a wonderful piece of kit, but v.expensive to run from what I understand....

(get a clio!!)
 


There not cheap no , but then there not as expesive as what people make them out to be, Insurance is the killer at 21 :( allthough it has come down a fair bit in the last 2 years , as i started insuring it at 19.

Clio or ITR is my main choices.
 


Is it a 3rd generation rx7? If so. Why would you get rid? They have so much potential and turn more heads than a clio ever would. Plus they are faster than a clio.
 


Thats a stunna mate, Black cars rule.

Keep it and get a daily runaround 1.2 clio like the doc said.

Welcome BTW.

I would like to have a 2nd car but that would probally mean more money , upkeep of the 2nd car tax & MOT etc.. allthough the big killer in the RX is the fuel i get about 15-15mpg soo it would cut down the super plus bill i suppose.
