I was hoping you'd see it actually! I've heard that HICAS feels properly weird.
Qashcow
Very weird sensation which may work on track but certainly doesn't on the A40...
It switches positions depending on speed. I can't remember the three different speeds but say your driving at 68mph round a long left hander and creep to 69mph (or whatever speed it is) the rear wheels instantly change from zero degrees to upto 4 degrees. You feel it twitch and oh god its odd. Delete kit is fairly simple to fit.
Can pretty much guarantee the dash will have a bubble in it, I liked to call that a bit of character lol. Tapety engine is normal, eurocarparts oil filter won't fit and will require a rebuild if you fit one. Urmm, think that's about it, oh don't fit different sized wheels/tyres front/rear as it'll rape the transfer box.
I don't know how you drive your cars but on a dry day at least once in your ownership, standing start at 4k rpm. I was soeechless but only did it the once, I liked the gearbox hah

I buy nothing from ECP anyway so that's no issue!
Yeah HICAS delete seems simple, depending how much you want to delete it.
4k launch, consider it done.

In it's most basic form, yes. To remove the whole lot there's the Hydraulic pipes to ditch, steering pump to change and all the electrics in the steering column.

I guess it depends how theyre shipping it. (RoRo or container) and where from. But on our sailing schedules at work I can see plenty leaving Japan in March arriving in Tilbury and Southampton on 34 day transits.
Still, not that it really mattters. Its'a coming !
I dare say it'll be coming in around Newcastle.

Looking at getting one when I move to New Zealand
Dont tease me.
Can I come in your bags? Its my Dream to move out there lol
Looks well done, but the light covers, bumper, colour, & BGW ruin it for me.

I've always been under the impression bag's are generally a bit lardy? If i'm wrong fair enough but i'd have thought if that wasn't the case we'd see them being used more often on more hardcore cars...
Loads of manufacture super cars use bags of a type, however there are many track cars running them too, a good settup provides handling just like coil overs, being able to control the rebound the same way normal coil overs do makes them better, the bag acts as a spring and is valved for the stiffness so yes cheap bags can be a bit wallowy, but a good set will perform just as well as most coil overs, tbh cheap bags will perform better than cheap coil overs most people seem to buy off of eBay and chuck on anything and say they are amazing!

^^^ You going to be taking any mods from this like keeping it a Racecar or use it for something else?
I'm as eager as you to see what you will be doing, Loved this car for so long lol.

I don't particularly want it to be anywhere near that, that's no fun on the road. You have to have the race cars in the air and go through gears etc to warm the transmission up before going on track!
I need another RX7.

As someone who has only recently started to take an interest in Jap cars (this is probably already amongst the 500+ pages of this thread [I hope it is]) this is pretty much my perfect car (minus the Allstars decal on the windscreen):
It very recently changed hands so it appears.

Anybody know what car it is in the background? I've seen a few and can't make up my mind between old celica/datsun or maybe skyline?
That car is a Datsun 280C Coupe
