All the Best Clive.

Hey Mike,
I'm new to the forum, but nice looking car. Is that a factory colour??

Down hear in OZ we didn't get that colour on any of our rx-7's as far as i know.

Tim of RX motors has a high horse power 12a in UK

Last year with an original Mazda turbo 12a but 4 injectors and nitrous he did a 13.1 1/4 mile.
Over the winter he has been putting together a 12a that has a GT30 turbo and nitrous and ported too.So there are modifiers that are starting to play here too.Should be interesting.
There are a small number of us who have seen the light about Novas and the like!for me that light flashed in NZ when I lived there for 10 years.

looks like my project is off for the near future

The company I work for (Alstom) has just been sold off to an unknown buyer and the future being uncertain I need to save as much as possible and hope for the best :(

Most of the press are saying the future is looking good (which I hope is a good sign!) but I don't want to count my chickens before they are hatched so to speak

Thanks for the support guys ... hopefully the powers that be will sort out whats going on soon

right now I'm just glad i didn't buy any shares in Alstom ! -20% just this morning ! and -50% yesterday !
