thanks mate, had another bloke out on the weekend. he seemed a bit confused though. he was talking about buying his mates 350z, a new MPS, or a typhoon, or my RZ.... I was beginning to doubt he actually wants to buy anything. ;)

for anyone serious about a nice, neat, tough, rare RX7, send me a message, I'm motivated to sell and will talk deal for a serious buyer. :cool:

Love it Richard, would love to have it parked in the driveway. Someone is going to be picking up a very special motor vehicle.

looks like it's gone. guy came last week and I've struck a deal with him. don't have the cold hard cash yet but it looks set to happen. :P I'd say as of next week my building wont be shaking to the beat of a rotor everytime I come home. :)

SOLD guys. sad day but this means I'll be rocking around in the silvia for a while (finally drove it again the other day and man it's like a go-kart next to the RX7. a go kart with 230rwkw that is...). AND most importantly this is the motivation needed to pull my finger out and get the R32 going again. :D

Man id be sad to see that go. Beautiful car man

Glad to see you sold it, well worth every sent the guy paid for it

Pointless post but I just love RX7's and this is one of the nicest stock looking ones I've ever seen

that's ok. thread is moot now and once he picks it up tomorrow I'll close it. this is the last day that it's mine. his deposit has cleared, the paperwork has been drawn up and pending final payment and pick-up tomorrow it has a nice new home. the new only tells me they'll 'keep it till they die' which is nice, I just hope it's not in the RX7!!! :P

and for the record in the year I've owned this car it has never broken down, never caused me any real problems and I've very much enjoyed driving it. Everything in it works, and it's so much fun to drive. very 'lively'... :banana:

I really hope the new owner loves it.

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
