I've just bought an RX7...

Sure its not the slave cylinder as the master cylinder does the clutch and brakes? Both are easy to replace so hopefully it wont take too long.
More pictures required once it returns!
Sorry I meant slave cylinder. (incredibly long day!) heard it's not the biggest job in the world, it's just frustrating. Car felt absolutely fantastic on the journey home, a real joy to drive. More pictures required once it returns!
An update.
I picked the car up after a 5 hour train journey which was great fun.. On the way back home the reliability horror stories came true. The clutch plate disintegrated meaning I was picked up by this.
After a rather annoyed phonecall to the seller, he handled the situation rather well, and sorted the issue and repair out with a mate of mine's garage.
During the time it was being repaired I went a bit mad and bought some Tein Coilovers, a decat pipe and a diffuser. (no idea why - it's now in the shed) All of which shall be fitted in time.
A week later the car was back. A rather wet drive to work was the first port of call. On this 11 mile journey I fell in love with the car. It handles like nothing I've experienced before (I've been in quite a few performance cars...) and the pops on the overrun are the most addictive thing!
She's currently tucked away now there's salt about on the roads, and probably will be until a rare dry day appears. I'll get some pictures soon, as I haven't really got many.
I'm rather looking forward to the ownership, I can see it staying for a jolly long time.

How comes? Is it not a feasible expensive or do you just not gel with it? I was hoping you'd have a long and trouble free experience with lots of picture updates.
I want to get back into Motorsport, and keeping it isn't really feasible if I want to do that to be honest. Don't get me wrong, it's a great car, but it doesn't give the same buzz competitive Motorsport does.
