Sorry Paul, looks very nice. Where did you get it from?

Hi Dan. Im fairly new to this site, so unaware of what cars you guys own. Yeh thanx, I love the colour just as much as the car :D Wicked when the sun comes out, whenever that is these days! I bought it privately, a guy in West Sussex. Im looking for the Veilside style spoiler, and looking at info on wheel sizes at the moment. Will these run 17's or 18's without any mods? Maybe some split rims! Nice to know theres a few more bananas around then ;)

Paul, yes they will happily run 17's and 18's ithout issue. You just need to make sure that you get an high enough offset wheel.

If the car is lower'd you might want to just move up to 17's, as some 18's could rub.

There is a vast choice of wheels, split rims cost more, look better, and are a pig to keep looking sexy.

If/when you get to see Clive's car later this year, you will understand a little more about my comment earlier.

Post removed, thanks mate. Yeh, many people have said split rims can be a pain to keep clean. Still undecided which style will suit tho. Hard picturing it. Are there any pics of Clives car on here?

Paul:D

Hi Paul ,

Hope you can attend with your great looking car,

BTW some people have thought in the past they need to be a member to attend Mazdarotaryclub meetings which is not the case all you need is to turn up in a Rotary powered car and be it either pristine or full of rust you will be made equally as welcome, because we all share one thing and that is we all drive very special car's.

All the Best Clive

That is gorgeous. Did you cary out the interior work yourself? Is there anywhere that specialises in this sort of work and at roughly what cost. Im 99% confident I can make Brooklands, so look forward to seeing some of you guys and your cars. Total respect to Clive, that is one sexy motor :D Will there be more details posted about the location of this event etc?
